Lovely Old Grant Park Renovation Seeks $625,000

Fans of claw-foot tubs, heart-pine floors, double-decker wraparound porches and borderline excessive amounts of fireplaces could find much to admire in this century-old Grant Park traditional. Perched on a corner lot one block from the neighborhood's namesake park, this freshly renovated four-bedroom residence infuses contemporary elements like Carrara marble and a stainless-steel range hood into all that retained history (see, also: original trim and six spiffed-up fireplaces). The result is a timeless look, with a white-picket fence appropriately surrounding it all. The price tag for these resuscitated 2,125 square feet stands at $625,000, which is almost at the top of Grant Park's food chain. (On a side note: All proceeds from an open house/art show scheduled here Sunday will benefit Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research.)
