Some homes have character. This one has a whole cast of them.

Built around 1900 in the heart of the South Side Flats, this grand Victorian is a true relic: roughly 3,000 square feet, 6 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and the kind of craftsmanship no one can afford to recreate. Open the door to a restored foyer where the original staircase rises beneath soaring ceilings. Pocket doors glide open to elegant double parlors. Gleaming original hardwoods run the main floor. Intricate millwork frames nearly every room, and ten decorative fireplace mantels tell a story at every turn.

Host in the formal dining room, then gather in a generous kitchen wrapped in exposed brick, with abundant cabinetry and a walk-in pantry big enough to make a chef jealous. A second rear staircase opens up options for guests, a private suite, or a work-from-home wing. Upstairs, a charming library sits among six spacious bedrooms and four full baths.

The heavy lifting is done: 14 new windows, new doors, a new sewer line, significant roof updates, fresh interior paint, and a security system with cameras.
Then comes the part that stops people in their tracks. Step out back to a private brick courtyard shaded by a mature magnolia, a quiet hideaway in one of the city's liveliest neighborhoods. Beyond it is something almost unheard of in the Flats: a detached two-car garage. The full basement adds plenty of storage and room for a home gym.

Walk to coffee, dinner, and nightlife on East Carson, and you're minutes from South Side Works and the riverfront trails. History, space, parking, and a secret garden all at one address. In the South Side, that combination rarely surfaces.
