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! ๐ One of Samuel Eberly Grossโs last developments, this iconic street was inspired by London row houses after his trip to Europe. ๐๏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 Chicagoโs first designated historic district. ๐๏ธโจOnly 1 of the 40 homes has sold in the last 2 years for $1.1 million - itโs a desirable enclave of homes for those that love architecture.buying or selling a home in Chicago or nearby suburbs? ๐๏ธ~message me & say hello ๐~follow along for cool houses ๐~join 700+ of us on my newsletter (link in bio) ๐ซ#chicagolandmarks #ChicagoHistory #AltaVistaTerrace #chicagorealestate #chicagoarchitecture #facadelovers
