Wow! House: $1.449M Home's 1902 Brick-Limestone Design Still Modern And Stylish

CHICAGO, IL — This six-bedroom, 4,700-square-foot home might have been built in 1902, but its floorplan and brick-and-limestone exterior look and feel no less modern for it.

The residence at 3649 N. Claremont Ave., and it was put on the market in January. The asking price is $1.449 million, which was lowered March 1 from its original listing of $1.499 million.

Don't let the home's building date just after the turn of the 20th century give the illusion that it's an outdated structure. Ninety-five percent of it is new construction, inside and out. The residence's kitchen appliances and bathroom fixtures also are thoroughly modern.

Sitting on a 30-foot lot, the house doesn't sacrifice livability for the classic, timeless beauty of its exposed brick and stained concrete. The spacious, flowing interior features a home gym, a game room with a wet bar and a skylight and six bay windows for natural light to flood inside.
