One of Washington Park’s most expensive home sales closed last week.
The three-story modern home at 600 S. Franklin St. sold for $3.66 million on Aug. 6, according to county records. That tops a home a few blocks away that sold for $3.3 million in 2016.
George Saad, owner of Forte Distinctive homes, scraped the previous 1920s duplex to make room for the new contemporary build that features a third-story patio overlooking the Washington Park lake and boathouse.
“It’s a very high-end, super modern house,” Saad said. “The location is one of the very unique corner lots.”
Stats: 4,800 square feet with four bedrooms and 4 1/2 bathrooms
Seller: 600 S Franklin St. Saad is the manager of the LLC, and he purchased the property in 2017 for $1.1 million. Saad also sold a neighboring house at 992 S. Franklin St. in 2016 for $3.3 million.
The finer things: Elevator, open floor plan, natural stone, custom cabinets and glass railing on the third story overlooking Washington Park.
