It was a busy week for the Near North Side, with four out of the top five resi listings in city located in this neighborhood. Two Park Tower condos made the list, alongside a Gold Coast single-family homes with an interesting backstory, if not history (you’ll see what we mean).

Price and property details were found using Redfin.

1241 N. State Pkwy | $6.5 million | Near North Side

A property that once housed one of the last remaining brick cottages just hit the market, asking just a hair under $6.5 million. The seller paid $1.5 million to acquire the property in 2016, and quickly demolished the historic old brick house, which dated back to 1872. In its place is a brand-new six-bedroom, seven-bath mansion spanning nearly 7,500 square feet. The home, situated on a 3,300-square-foot lot, includes a four-car garage, a yard and two rooftop terraces. It’s certainly fancy, if not quite steeped in history anymore. The home is listed with Timothy Salm of Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty.
