Would you believe me if I told you this pocket of European inspired homes is just a 5-7 minute walk from Wrigley Field and a 10 minute walk from the shops / restaurants in the Southport Corridor!Follow @modernchicagohomes for beautiful homes in Chicago!Take a stroll down Alta Vista Terrace, where history and architecture meet! ๐ŸŒŸ One of Samuel Eberly Grossโ€™s last developments, this iconic street was inspired by London row houses after his trip to Europe. ๐Ÿ˜๏ธ Designed alongside architect Joseph C. Brompton, the block features 40 unique homes, each part of a cohesive yet contrasting design with varying colors, rooflines, and styles. Most of the homes are two-story Roman brick beauties, except for the four three-story graystones that anchor the center. In 1971, Alta Vista Terrace proudly became Chicagoโ€™s first designated historic district. ๐Ÿ™๏ธโœจOnly 1 of the 40 homes has sold in the last 2 years for $1.1 million - itโ€™s a desirable enclave of homes for those that love architecture.buying or selling a home in Chicago or nearby suburbs? ๐Ÿ™๏ธ~message me & say hello ๐Ÿ‘‹~follow along for cool houses ๐Ÿ˜Ž~join 700+ of us on my newsletter (link in bio) ๐Ÿ“ซ#chicagolandmarks #ChicagoHistory #AltaVistaTerrace #chicagorealestate #chicagoarchitecture #facadelovers
