Listing information updated 12/4/2025 at 11:43am

Rare opportunity to own a piece of Blue Island history. Built in 1852 for land developer Joshua P. Young, this home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is in the Inventory of Historic Structures in Cook County and features the very uncommon Chicago Cottage plan. With 2,203 square feet, the property offers 5 bedrooms plus bonus room and 3 full baths. The home's detailing is eclectic, incorporating elements of Greek Revival and Gothic architecture. Historic details include original windows, millwork and hardwood floors, 10-ft ceilings with ornate moldings, three marble fireplaces (two concealed but intact), pocket doors, tin kitchen ceiling, and clawfoot tubs. This is a rare chance for the right buyer to restore a landmark home with architectural character that can't be replicated today.
