Wow! House: Bronzeville B&B Could Be Your One-And-Only Home

CHICAGO, IL — It's not every day that a bed and breakfast refurbished to attract tourists goes up for sale. But that's the case with this seven-bedroom Queen Anne mansion that sits on a corner lot at 4563 S. Michigan Ave. in the Bronzeville neighborhood. Originally put on the market earlier this summer, the historic 7,200-square-foot home has an asking price of $794,000, down from its initial listing of $825,000.

Because it has been remodeled as a B&B, the three-story house feels very warm and liveable with a blend of elegant and homey touches, including a stunning main staircase and grand foyer. The spacious residence, which was built in 1890, is a wood lover's dream with its hardwood flooring, 8-foot-tall wood doors, oak wainscotting and other mostly original detail work.

One of the unique features of the mansion is a third-level that includes three bathrooms and a kitchenette area, a set up that's ideal for in-laws or kids transitioning from college to the workforce. The landscaped yard — which includes a dog run — also boasts a single-bedroom apartment if there's not enough privacy or room in the main residence.
