In the heart of one of Chicago’s most talked-about neighborhoods sits a property rich with potential and promise. 6523 S. Ellis Avenue, a classic Woodlawn townhome, offers more than just square footage-it presents an opportunity to create, restore, and invest in a community defined by history, education, and forward momentum.
