Calling all creatives, visionaries, and urban pioneers-this rare 1889 Victorian row house in Chicago's East Garfield Park offers historic soul, architectural detail, and the foundation for a truly inspiring transformation. With 10-foot ceilings, original wood millwork, a rare double stairwell, pocket doors, and stunning stained glass windows and skylights, this 4-bedroom home delivers character at every turn. Over 2,100 sq ft of living space, a partially finished basement, and an unfinished attic with a sloped ceiling (ranging from 3.5 ft to 6 inches) give you room to reimagine and restore. This home isn't just charming-it's solid. Double-pane, hurricane-rated vinyl windows from Window World come with a transferable lifetime warranty and nylon screens. A modified bitumen roof (installed 2011) covers both the main house and the newly built coach house and has been professionally recoated every year-still looks new. The main house boiler was replaced in 2004, and the Trane furnace in the coach house was installed in 2013. AC units (4-5 total) will stay with the home. The brand-new 1-bedroom coach house sits atop a heated 2-car garage and features modern amenities including a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, in-unit washer/dryer, solar-powered lighting, and private heating/cooling-perfect as a rental, guest suite, or creative studio space. The backyard offers a peaceful escape with a heated walkway, custom deck with ceiling fan, and a thoughtfully designed garden filled with roses, tulips, grapevines, and raspberries-perfect for quiet reflection or entertaining. This is more than a property-it's a chance to craft something meaningful. Whether you're a preservationist, investor, or just someone looking to bring a one-of-a-kind home back to life in a community with soul and growth potential, this East Garfield Park gem is ready for its next chapter.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
