The layout includes: Main House: 4, 000+ sq ft of elegant living space. Carriage House Apartment: 1BR with private entry. Studio Apartment: 1BR within the main house. Lower-Level Suite: With separate access and lux 3/4 bath—ideal for Airbnb/STR thanks to proximity to ASI, Children’s, Abbott Northwestern, and St. Mary’s. Unfinished Attic: Insulated, high-ceilinged space—ready to become a stunning 2BR apartment or luxurious owner’s retreat. Professional Darkroom/Studio: Adds live/work or creative potential. Four-Car Garage: Two heated bays with a workshop Private Garden: Lush, serene backyard with koi pond. Now at $875, 000, this property is priced to attract savvy buyers and investors.
