Chicago’s Bronzeville Neighborhood
Posted by Ted Guarnero on Oct 8, 2009 | 0 commentsThis stunning, new brick and limestone home at 3443 S. Indiana shows like a model. With over 4,000 sq. ft., living space is extensive. Its four expansive bedrooms, including an enormous master suite with a 15’ walk-in closet and vaulted ceiling, 3.1 baths, huge chef’s kitchen overlooking the family room, oversized lower level recreation room, and 20‘x20’ deck provide an abundance of space in which to live, play or seek solitude. Hardwood floors, 9’ ceilings, two fireplaces, crown molding, double French doors, a whirlpool tub and 2 car brick garage are special features. The fine craftsmanship and attention to detail are apparent throughout this truly gorgeous, light-drenched home.
This fantastic new home is located in Bronzeville, a Chicago neighborhood 6 miles north of the Loop in the greater South Side community of Douglas. A historically significant neighborhood, Bronzeville experienced its heyday in the first couple decades of the 20th Century. Connected to Bronzeville’s history are the stories of the many famous people who once inhabited the neighborhood. Past denizens like civil rights activist Ida B. Wells, Pulitzer Prize-winning Gwendolyn Brooks and famed musician Louis Armstrong are a source of pride for community residents.
While Bronzeville is said to be experiencing a cultural renaissance, it has all the bones to make this reemergence something remarkable. Bursting with historical landmarks and stunning 1920s buildings, Bronzeville real estate is as desirable today as when it was first constructed, not least of all because of the substantial architectural renovation underway. With wide boulevards, manicured parks, nationally documented landmarks and the fine detailing on vintage brick and stone mansions, Bronzeville is truly a hidden gem waiting to be rediscovered by homebuyers. www.seechicagorealestate.com
