Want a Driveway? A 4-Bedroom SFH at 3107 N. Honore in Roscoe Village
This 4-bedroom single family home at 3107 N. Honore in Roscoe Village came on the market in February 2019.
Built in 1903, it’s on a double lot measuring 50×120 and has a 2-car heated front-facing garage with a driveway.
It has some unique features including a coffered ceiling in the living room.
3 of the 4 bedrooms, including the master suite, are on the second floor with the fourth bedroom in the lower level.
The master suite has its own bathroom and the other two bedrooms share a bathroom.
The kitchen has modern dark cabinets, stone counter tops, stainless steel appliances and a double pantry.
The lower level has a large family room and wet bar.
The house has central air.
There are 3 outdoor areas, including 2 decks, and a landscaped back yard.
Why does it have a front-facing garage?
All the properties on this portion of Honore back up to the Metra tracks.
With its driveway and large back yard, is this a unique property for the GreenZone?
Tiffany Moret at @Properties has the listing. See the pictures here.

I like it, as long as the rear and side-facing MBR windows are soundproof. Although there is alteady space and value vs properties not on the Metra and in locations truly “prime” in comparison, I stillI do think they will need to drop the price to move it. The pictures don’t show the lower level rec room in a good light.
This is far enough east to not really be NoCoCo and and easy walk to the Paulina Brownline stop. I don’t think it’s a bad location for convenience at all.
So what’s the scoop on Jahn these days? It used to be terrible but I feel, without anything specific to point to, that has been steadily improving. A good neighborhood school would increase the value of the homes around Hamlin Park significantly.
This is pretty great – – maybe over-priced by $100K or so. I don’t like that the deck is off of that particular bedroom instead of the master.
Re: Jahn – to my knowledge, has improved but not “there” yet. And still has a lot of kids from outside of that immediate neighborhood that are attending the school, but I don’t know the details on that. I’ve heard mixed things as to whether this is ever likely to improve.
This is one ugly exterior for a million+ dollar home. Inside, deck and yard are fantastic. But the exterior is awful.
Wonder if there are any water issues with the driveway. That drain outisde the garage would concern me.
the interior on this one is surprisingly nice considering the curb unappeal of the outside
As long as the catch basin is below the frost line it shouldn’t be an issue
“curb unappeal”
curb repel
“This is one ugly exterior for a million+ dollar home. Inside, deck and yard are fantastic. But the exterior is awful.”
“the interior on this one is surprisingly nice considering the curb unappeal of the outside”
the exterior is slightly nicer on the listing photo than Sabrina’s. my guess is the truth is closer to Sabrina’s.
“Wonder if there are any water issues with the driveway. That drain outisde the garage would concern me.”
piano nobile! who cares what happens w the peasants on teh lower level.
Crap, that’s hideous.
“As long as the catch basin is below the frost line”
Well, that’s certainly a threshold issue, but also:
Does it tie directly to sewer?
Does any sanitary line tie into it?
What happens when the street floods (and it will)?? A check valve is not a good solution, a pump would have to be huuuge, the catch basin a mini-deep-tunnel.
Is that intake large enough to capture the volume in the driveway in our every other year 100 year storms???? Or is the garage (and lower level) effectively the detention basin?

Shame on your anon(tfo), you should have put a ‘trigger warning’ at the top of your post. I lived through a flood and flood remediation and your talk of catch basins and pumps relapsed my mild case of undiagnosed PTSD from 2013. Now I have to go curl up into a ball in the corner and cry. And probably drink some bourbon too. Lots of it at 2:00 p.m. on a Thursday.
A lawyer drinking at 2pm on a Thursday is pretty status quo is it not?
It’s not just the status quo, it is the job description…!!!!!1

Which would explain some of the cases we see getting written up in the newspapers these days.
Given some of the rulings on those cases, I bet the judges start even earlier.
