A must see, rarely available historic single-family rowhome located on one of Taylor Street's most exclusive streets. Built in 1871 and thoughtfully remodeled over the years keeping many original details including three marble operating gas fireplaces, pocket doors and crown molding. An elegant front door entryway leads to formal sitting room, elegant dining room and open concept kitchen with custom built cabinetry offering plenty of thoughtful storage, with a lovely afternoon sun-filled sitting room. High ceilings throughout the first and second floors. The second level has three bedrooms and a walk-in closet; the main bedroom includes a fireplace and ensuite bathroom, two additional bedrooms, a second full bathroom with a laundry room enclosed. The lower level has the fourth bedroom and the third full bathroom, a family room, two large storage spaces and back entry. The front entry remains outside but was drywalled to create storage but could be opened to convert back to the original garden unit apartment. The home leads out on two levels into a lovely shaded, paved backyard and has a two car garage. This perfect city-centered home is walking distance to Taylor Street's many popular restaurants, close to both Arrigo Park and Sheridan Park with popular day camps, legendary kids flag football and adult health classes, an indoor pool and tennis courts; it's close to the Westside Medical District, the United Center, public transportation, and quick access to I290.

Little Italy, located between the University of Illinois Chicago campus and the West Loop, is a historic and walkable Chicago neighborhood with classic brick flats and a restaurant-lined main drag. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Taylor Street near Racine Avenue, where old-school Italian eateries, espresso counters, and corner bakeries keep the sidewalks busy. Community pillars include the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame, the Italian American Museum of Chicago, and Rosebud on Taylor. Tree-lined blocks mix greystones, two-flats, and newer mid-rises, giving the streetscape a layered look. Arrigo Park and the surrounding courts add a daily rhythm of pick-up games and festivals. CTA Blue Line access at UIC-Halsted links the area to downtown and O’Hare.

Residential Two-Flat, Townhouse and Multi-Unit District
The primary purpose of the RT districts is to accommodate detached houses, two-flats, townhouses and low-density, multi-unit residential buildings at a density and building scale that is compatible with RS districts. The districts are intended to be applied in areas characterized by a mix of housing types. The districts are also intended to provide a gradual transition between RS districts and higher density RM districts. The RT districts are differentiated primarily on the basis of allowed density (minimum lot area per unit) and floor area ratios.
Permitted uses
