  1. Maybe I just don’t understand what $1 Million+ buys. That is the GOOFIEST place for a fireplace.

  2. When you view it on Google streetview you see how out of place it looks vs the other homes in the neighborhood. Looks like it fell from the sky onto that lot, completely obliterating the previous house there.

  3. You can get a good feel for the neighborhood from this voice-over slideshow of market activity on the 1800 – 1900 blocks of Nelson, 1 short block south of Barry:

    The area is West Lakeview / Hamlin Park rather than Lake View proper – it’s west of the tracks.
