This 3,500-square-foot Lake View home at 451 W. Aldine Ave. is selling for $1.5 million, quite a bit more than when it was sold for $750,000 in 2000, according to Trulia.com.

Built in 1925, realtors cite a recent renovation as the reason behind the high price tag. However, with five bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms and an enormous private backyard, the new price may be worth it.

Combined with a two-car attached garage and a master bedroom most people would kill for, this Lake View house might not be on the market much longer.

The Truth

Best of luck. Their "renovation" taste isn't necessarily the likings of 90% of the potential buyers out there. No offense but those same kitchen cabinets are in every $1200 "updated" apartment, $95K "gut-rehabbed" condo and $500K house across Chicagoland.
