We’ve already professed our love for this1887 Renaissance Revival building at 279 Sterling Place in Prospect Heights. Now one of the lower duplexes is on the market. The main living area on the first floor of the former public school is pretty stunning: double-height ceilings, massive windows, lotsa light. The sleeping quarters downstairs are less spectacular but feel less subterranean than one might imagine. In all, the space is 2,222 square feet and is asking $1,299,000, or a little less than $600 per foot. Realistic?
