Posting a couple interesting homes that caught my eye well over the $400,000, but special looks inside and so much original incorporated with new upgrades.
LOVE THE FIRST ONE. Posting a couple homes that caught my eye WELL OVER the $400,000 range though. My wife would love this home as it reminds us of ours in victorian features inside but not as much victorian on the outside.
This home is listed with a 90 walkscore as a Walkers Paradise. Listing says built in 1910 but Public records read it was built in 1906. A 3-story home with the works and saving its original features to love that makes this home more special.
I really Love how they kept its original CRAFTSMAN WOODWORKINGS the gorgeous arch and staircase, window trims for the main-floor living room and 2nd floor. 3rd floor is all new with skylights. One bathroom is also a sauna.

Here in a bedroom I never saw a bathroom sink actually hung off the bedroom wall.

This is another solid home another with a listing saying built in 1957, but the pubic records say it was built in 1954. What is SPECIAL about this home is during its history. The home has a partially finished basement with a family room and another kitchen.
THIS HOME HAS HAD 2 OWNERS IN ITS 70 yrs. That says TWO FAMILIES called this their FOREVER HOME in its existence that is mentioned in the listing. It is a larger corner lot of Cul de sacs type street that does not follow the usual Chicago grid though much of Norridge does.

This interesting Cali "GOOGIE" featured CHICAGO MID-CENTURY MODERN home is still on a Chicago size lot but what is usually the side of the home is the front making it look like a true ranch yet its address is the side which should be its front.

A Fully finished basement again in white with a kitchen and another laundry room. The bathrooms also have full updates.
