Property Description

As featured in Chicago Crain's Magazine -- Discover a rare opportunity to own a landmarked Chicago Treasure-- The actual Old Town "Yellow House", a beloved neighborhood gem. This piece of Chicago history is a charming 1875-built home on Menomonee Street. Featuring a secret garden which is a three-time City of Chicago Garden Contest winner. This iconic beauty with a side yard patio and tandem parking seamlessly blends historic character with modern updates. Flooded with natural light from numerous windows overlooking the stunning outdoor space and the charm of Menomonee. The home's main southern exposure and no adjoining neighbors provides unique sunshine from early morning till late evening. The kitchen includes an eat-in area, while the spacious living and dining areas offer ample room for entertaining. Stained glass accents and intricate moldings further enhance the home's historic charm. Upstairs, a large family room with a stone fireplace is complemented by three bedrooms and a guest bath. The primary suite boasts a walk-in closet and a spacious en-suite bath with a clawfoot tub and skylight. The lower level features a recreation room and ample storage space. Coming to market for the first time in over 25 years, this meticulously maintained home has undergone thoughtful renovations while preserving its original integrity. Nestled in the heart of the Old Town Triangle, just steps from the lake, zoo, shopping, and dining, this home is also located in the highly sought-after Lincoln School District.
