    What's special

    Artist Farmhouse with Enormous 177 foot deep lot on the Humboldt-Logan border. Are you tired of seeing generic cookie cutter homes? Bored of Open Floorplans? Looking for a place that actually feels like a home and not a glorified box? From the moment you step inside, you can't decide if you want to start photographing or cozy up in the seemingly endless enclaves. This historic 1880's home features the traits we all want: HIGH ceilings, Great Light, Generous rooms sizes and plenty of Character! On the main floor are two bedrooms currently being used as an entertainment space & a home office along with a full bathroom. There are two separate eating areas so you can host large dinner parties or hang out in the eat-in kitchen. The sunroom is a true retreat with unspoiled views of the backyard oasis. And this is no ordinary backyard. A two tiered deck opens onto a patio then off to a yard that looks like an urban football field flanked by a towering Siberian Elm. Upstairs are two incredibly large bedrooms with walk-in closets that share a modern bath that wouldn't be out of place in a spa. The basement might be the biggest surprise - It is barely below grade and features nearly 8 foot tall ceilings with original exposed joists currently being used as a workshop, artist studio and recording space. Location is the Green Dream - Across the street from the delightful Simons Park, and just a block from the 606 elevated trail, and down the street from renowned Humboldt Park. Commercial activity abounds on both North and Armitage Avenues.
