Inexplicably, this property is on sale for $1.75 million at the same time that someone is attempting to knock it down. One answer could be in the listing:

Beautiful corner double lot zoned r-4 in Lincoln Park. Special brick 2-unit with owner’s duplex up and coach house with 2 rental units. 2-car garage with roof deck. View the lovely yard from the New Orleans-style porch on the brick house.

Maybe they want to tear down the coach house?
