Own Al Capone's First Chicago House For Less Than $200K

CHICAGO, IL - The former home of Chicago’s most notorious mobster is back on the market, with an asking price of less than $200,000.

The unassuming, century-old structure at 7244 Prairie Ave. in the city’s Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood is listed by Redfin at $179,000 - a significant dropoff from October 2014 when it was listed for sale for $225,000.

Al Capone’s family moved into the home in 1923 when Al was 24. Three years later, he became boss of The Chicago Outfit, a reign he held for seven years.

The brick two-flat includes a pair of apartment units, both with three bedrooms and a single bathroom.

“Wonderful covered front porch provides recreation and shelter from the elements,” according to the newest listing. “First floor unit was rehabbed in 2008 with new kitchen and jacuzzi tub in the bath.”

Classic hardwood floors (hopefully with nothing buried underneath them) and newer windows are included.
