$3M Local Home has 53-Foot Staircase, 4 Decks

Wondering what nearly $3 million worth of North Side real estate looks like?

Well, wonder no more. This week, our "Wow House" is a $2.9 million six bedroom, seven bathroom sophisticated in the heart of East Lakeview at 550 W. Oakdale Ave. The original listing price of $3.2 million has been knocked down and realtors say buyers will receive a $10,000 bonus if the home is sold by April 15. 

The 7,000-square-foot home is seated on an oversized lot. It has an open layout and features a 53-foot staircase, 10-foot tall ceilings and heated floors throughout. Owners will also enjoy four decks—one of which is on the roof and has an outdoor fireplace—a chef kitchen, hot tub and advanced security system.

Standing at three stories tall, it was born in 2012.

Check out the attached photos for a glimpse of the details.
