Looks like a 700K property to me. I wouldn’t want to live around there, certainly not for that kind of money.
Wow a five burner stove. Three of which you might use simultaneously once every 8 years!
For this kind of money I’d rather buy a detached building on my own lot but to each their own. I’ve always set my sights low and been a 4-burner stove kinda guy.
There’s not too much on the market now, but for this price I’d rather sacrifice a little space and buy an updated cottage to be in the neighborhood.
under contract but something like this…

Nice place. Too bad it’s not in Bucktown.
“Wow a five burner stove. Three of which you might use simultaneously once every 8 years!”
I have a four burner stove (like most people). I use all four frequently. One burner has the mashed potatoes, the small burner has the gravy, the third burner has the steamed vegetables and the fourth is usually has some other side dish like greens, with a chicken in the oven. I think the 5th burner is usually in the middle and is the most powerful, for cooking things in a big stock pot or le crusiet.
Another example of all four burners is again larger burner for mashed potatoes, au jus in the small burner, the blue cheese/butter melt on the third burner and the vege (corn, asparagus or some green) on the 4th burner with steaks on the broiler.
I do this at least once a weekend, maybe twice, and possibly once during the week if there’s a day off or I get home earlier enough to cook dinner.

I’m curious how that works when there are only 4 dials.
I’m a cook and I don’t even need the four burners. I put a chicken in the oven, and 3/4 way through, you put your vegetables in the oven with the chicken. You make your potatos, then you put them on the plates, or serving bowl, and put your gravy in the same potato pot on the same burner. Gravy takes two minutes.. You start serving your food, get it on the table, goback and put your hot bubbling gravy in a dish and put it on the table. So no, not only do you not need 5 or 4 burners, you don’t need all those pots to cook. Conserve!
Like @srboisvert I wonder how a 5 burner stove works with 4 dials. I’m presuming the oven is controlled by the panel.
I also regularly use all 4 burners on mine doing breakfast on the weekends. hashbrowns, meat, eggs and tea kettle.
