Rare East Lakeview single family home sales: Prices higher than 1995!

We have always enjoyed working with clients in the East Lakeview  neighborhood (or also known as Lake View East).  There are a handful of single family homes spattered about East Lakeview among the many residential condos and apartments.  This attractive cottage style free standing home at 653 W Wellington (pictured below) caught our eye over the weekend. It sold in 1995 for $400,000.

Home sweet home in bustling East Lakeview at 653 W Wellington.  What a charmer!
