Stunning house. Tons of character with wide open bedrooms abd living spaces. Extra long and wide lot with tons of outdoor space. Very high ceilings everywhere including in the basement. It does need a lot of work but extremely worth while. Taxes are...
on the high end. Excellent location. Amazing garage.
West Loop, located between the Chicago River and Ashland Avenue, is a former industrial and culinary Chicago neighborhood with loft warehouses and restaurant-lined blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Randolph Street and Peoria Street, where chef-driven dining rooms, cocktail bars, and gallery-like storefronts cluster under old brick facades. Fulton Market’s timber-and-steel buildings sit beside new glass towers, giving the streetscape a layered, work-to-weekend feel. Time Out Market Chicago anchors a food-hall scene, while The Publican remains a long-running table for oysters and beer. Mary Bartelme Park adds lawns, play space, and a weekly market rhythm.
