Beyond the wide-set cobblestone streets of Morgan Park lies a residence that feels as much like a home as your own private chapter of Chicago history... Welcome to 2138 W. 109th St., a 1913 American Foursquare exuding both soul and stature. Nestled along the southern end of Crescent Park, this home represents the very essence of the Morgan Park/Beverly Hills moniker, Village in the City- with its very own park-like grounds spanning across a 9,100 square foot lot, you'll feel as though this piece of property couldn't possibly exist here in the city of Chicago.
