From the Zillow listing:
One-of-a-kind granite, tri-level, 9834 sq ft, 7 bed/4 bath mansion with original coach house in rear, consisting of two 1 bedroom apartments. The mansion sits in the Bronzeville Historic District. Known as the Thomas A Wright house, who was the first owner, this property is an avatar of a bygone era when opulence & grace were expressed through superb craftsmanship, design, & materials. Each floor is bedecked by a parlor, kitchen, & bath. The foyer, with its opulent staircase, showcases what has been preserved & the treasures that lie within. One of those is an august library able to accommodate any bibliophile’s expansive collection of books, appointed with a mantle fireplace flanked by the original inset bookcases. A secluded deck overlooking a double lot (which can be purchased) secured by an artisan’s rod fence offers a spectacular vista of a historic street. Must see what words cannot convey. Short distance to Guaranteed Rate Field, Metra, Starbucks, expressway, & lakefront.
