There’s plenty of room to spread out in this single-family home at 3753 N Tripp Ave in Old Irving Park.
The six-bedroom, 4.5-bath house seems to have been built with the aspiring sommelier in mind. It features both a kitchen wine cooler and a basement wine cellar.
The home’s outdoor features include three balconies, a brick patio with a fireplace, a fenced-in yard and a three-car garage.
Anna Gutkowska, of @properties, has the home listed at $1.7 million.
As I get older and consider children, I’m beginning to like these kinds of homes.
But then again, these types of houses in this particular location don’t play the Ayersmanic game of trying to be what they’re not, nor are they out of place, being that they’re already in a low density neighborhood and appropriately dense development is unlikely to tread this far from the city’s core. Therefore, living here I would probably not stand in the way of developers & good sense.
It’s out of place in that neighborhood due to the style. I actually prefer the rear of the house to the front.
That house screams “orland park upscale subdivision”.
I wouldn’t mind a house of that size there. It would be nice though if it had more of a style that fit in better with the hood.
The Web site says it’s “a hidden jem.”
Anyone know what a “jem” is?
Chicagoese for “gem”.
“Hey, Jimbo. Come on over to nort Tripp and see this wacky house. I hope they got a 3 car gracht with a sidedrive.”
“Yeah, a sidedrive. Looks like a gate you would raise at a castle. Like in the old Erroll Flynn swashbuckler movies on channel 9. I miss the old channel 9. Remember Bozo and Ray Rayner?”
urban pansie, a sad coward hiding behind his keyboard & monitor. It is kind of gay that you are so obsessed with me so much; a guy who lives in New Jersey but wants to dicate the opinions of residents in Chicago. But hey, at least you can celebrate with your imaginary internet friends 24 hours a day. Seriously, you really need to go have a beer, see a show, go for a walk in the park, or go hang out at with your old friends at the highway rest-stop.
Why don’t you two girls stop fighting and just kiss and make up?
It’s the freakin internet have some fun.
Just look at me and “Carter”. We get along. Why can’t you.
That number’s not far from me; I drive past it three times a week. If you look at it in the context of the rest of the block, it’s out of scale, even for OIP, and the style is schizophrenic and too showy for a neighborhood of classic architecture. I’m not a fan.
