While tucked away on a tree-lined street, the elegant design of this property stands out; Undulating yellow brick facades and limestone detailing echo the influence of the Arts & Crafts Movement. Decorative pilasters point upward toward the roof, revealing cornices and a Greek Revival parapet wall.   These elements create a home rich in architecture while conveniently located minutes from the University of Chicago, public transportation and Lake Michigan.
