 "I purchased this property because of the mahogany woodwork, the high ceilings with original plaster molding and the main and rear staircases.  The Victorian details and great light were considered a bonus.  I loved what was happening in the neighborhood 18 years ago and what is still developing.  Established restaurants like White Dog and newcomers Manakeesh and Distristo make this area worthy enough to have their own Dining Days. The shops and small grocery stores seem to represent almost every nation.  Add the coffees spots like Green Line and Kaffa Crossing make this a truly walkable and walk the dog neighborhood.  Clark Park has a kid park and a dog run that spans over 7 acres right in the middle of the neighborhood.  My block of 4400 Chestnut has huge trees that provide cover from direct sun most days in the summer."
