WEST LOOP — A Jackson Boulevard Historic District home that features multiple skyline views and a three-car garage is now up for sale.  

The 19th Century single-family Romanesque house at 1505 W. Adams St. features four bedrooms and 3-1/2 bathrooms and sits close to Downtown.

Seller Michael Gomez, who has lived in the home since 1997, is entertaining offers starting at $1.7 million.

The 5,000-square-foot home is situated on a lot and half with a spacious front and backyard. 

"I think it's the best of the old and new. It's a fantastic location — a block and a half walk to Skinner Park and close to 290," Gomez said. "It's like a slice of suburbia in the city." 

Designated a National Historic Landmark, the home was designed by architectural firm Holabird and Root in 1888. The firm designed a number of Chicago landmarks, including the Marquette building, Chicago Board of Trade, City Hall, Soldier Field, University Club of Chicago and the Palmer House Hotel.

Featured in the Chicago Sun-Times in 2001, the home has been completely remodeled with a gourmet kitchen, three antique fireplaces, stained-glass windows and other unique features. 

The home also features a half-completed garden apartment and a provided floor plan for the remaining renovations that would add an additional two bedrooms to the home. 

The home is located near Skinner Elementary and Whitney Young Magnet High School, a CPS selective-enrollment school.

Private tours can be scheduled for pre-qualified buyers.
