Focus on the exterior of the classic 2 ½-story workers cottage at 1930 N Honore in Bucktown, and you’ll see hints of how distinctive it is.
The elaborate cornice, limestone banding, ornamental terra cotta insets and wide sidelit entry tell you this isn’t your typical 100-year old home. The dormered third level alerts you to the home’s makeover and expansion.
The completely updated 3-bedroom, 2 ½ bath single-family home at the front of the lot has been expanded to the rear with a soaring family-room that’s visually open to a charming courtyard. Beyond the courtyard, and above a 2-car garage, is a 1-bedroom duplex coach house with a two-story living area. The coach house rents for $1,625 a month.
The property has recently been listed for sale at $1,175,000 with Baird & Warner’s Robert John Anderson, our tour guide in the sponsored video.
