Listed for sale at $1,250,000, this gorgeous 1870 frame home is filled with art (of the contemporary kind). That makes the visit a bit more fun, because of the juxtaposition of vintage home and contempo art. Not familiar with Hinman Avenue? Please take a drive along its north-south expanse, from South Boulevard to the edge of Northwestern University's campus. Lovely, lovely, lovely. It is a lovely home, as well. The kitchen and master bath are exceptional. The first and second floor are "it," however. No finished attic for a teenager retreat, sorry. And the basement is raw. The lot is quite acceptable at 50 x 190. And of prime importance is the location; this home sits only 5 minutes (by foot) from Lake Michigan, and one block to the Dempster Street retail area (feed your Starbucks habit here and have a yummy vegetarian or vegan meal at the infamous Blind Faith Cafe) and the Dempster "L" station for a quick commute to downtown Chicago (Purple Line rush hour express). Need Metra for commuting? Easy - walk north 5 blocks to the Davis station, or 2 1/2 blocks south to the Main Street station (stop by the newspaper stand at the corner of Chicago Avenue to pick up a newspaper from cities around the world, or dine at the quirky and ever popular Lucky Platter restaurant). It's one block to the Chiaravalle Montessori School. The convenience factor can't be beat.
