Yellow Brick Home
When Yellow Brick Home blogger couple, Kim and Scott Vargo, were looking for an investment property, they wanted a historic home that still held the character of Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood.
After diligently searching, the Vargos found an 1890 two flat with many original elements including solid wood doors, built-in hutch and trim work. Two flats are two-story homes with an apartment unit on each floor and make up more than 30 percent of Chicago’s housing inventory.
For the last year, the couple has been restoring the two flat to keep its original charm, while modernizing the space to today’s aesthetics.
