COACH HOUSES
Lifestyles are changing from page B1 addition is to seek out a house with flexible living space already built-in. Coach houses, often built a century ago for a chauffeur or live-in servant, offer much-needed bonus space. Some local realtors with listings with coach houses see the extra space as adding real value in uncertain times. Laura Maychruk of River Forest’s Gullo & Associates is listing 1511 Franklin Ave. in River Forest for $739,999. The 1927 brick home comes with a coach house in back. While the village does not allow coach houses to be fulltime living spaces at this time, Maychruk says that House Bill 4869, introduced in the Illinois General Assembly in February, would make livable coach houses legal throughout the state. Since River Forest is a non-home rule community, passage of the bill would permit livable coach house space in River Forest. Maychruk says the coach house at 1511 Franklin Ave. has a permitted half bath that could easily be converted to a full bath if the laws are changed, and the space is also separately metered for gas and electric, which would make it easier to rent out in the future.

ROOM TO GROW: The coach house (right) of the residence at 1511 Franklin Ave.(above) in River Forest has already been renovated to include a home office and a half bath. Depending on the fate of legislation now making its way through the Illinois General Assembly, there may be an opportunity to convert the structure into a separate dwelling in the future.

Her clients on Franklin Avenue converted their coach house to be a work-from-home office for one of the owners, who worked as an attorney. She points out that there are some tax advantages to working from home, because owners can write off some expenses related to the upkeep of the space. Regardless of how long pandemic restrictions stay in place, Maychruk says of working from home, “I think this is a trend that is going to stick around after this is over. We will see a lot more people working from home.” During the pandemic, Maychruk has received several calls from people looking to rent a home to quarantine in. While this house is not a candidate, she says that having your own coach house could be a great solution for families who have a family member who is sick or needing to quarantine. When Frank Altmayer and his wife, Sue, bought 223 Bloomingbank Road in Riverside a few years ago, they did not foresee the current pandemic, but the spacious coach house was a huge selling point, because they planned to have three generations of family living on one piece of property. The 1910 Romanesque main house came with a sizeable space above the garage that was built for the original owner’s chauffeur. The Altmayers bought the property with the intention that their daughter, her husband and their children could live in the main house, while Frank and Sue would live in the coach house. Frank Altmayer says they needed to renovate what had been a rental unit before they moved in. They created a
large, modern kitchen with an island and higher ceilings, and also removed a staircase to enlarge one of the two bedrooms to create a master-sized bedroom. A second, smaller bedroom would make a good child’s room or office. The downstairs level has a sitting room with a fireplace and access to a separate patio. Altmayer says he and his wife loved having their grandchildren be able to run across the yard for snacks or a playdate. “I would recommend this to anyone,” he said of their arrangement. “It was a real pleasure. It was almost a daily occurrence to see the grandkids. We ate together, played games together. “If someone is staying in your home, it always feels like an inconvenience after a few days. But to have your own kitchen and bathroom and a separate space makes it so much more pleasant. I can’t think of a more ideal space.” Altmayer’s son-in-law got transferred, so the couple have listed the house for sale with Rory Dominick of Keller Williams for $1.2 million. Dominick says the main house with its distinctive stone exterior is a local historic landmark that is nicely updated for family living with four full floors of living space, including a third-floor pool room with a fireplace. She thinks the spacious coach house across the yard is not only a selling point for people like the Altmayers, who want to live with extended family. She thinks that this bonus space could be very appealing for any family spending more time at home together due to the new normal of the pandemic. She also would not be surprised to see the pandemic changing the way people approach home buying in general. “People living in the city now who were thinking about moving in a year or two? This crisis may make that happen sooner rather than later,” Dominick said, remarking that people will be looking for green space and clean air. With the city closing the lakefront and parks, suburbs like Riverside which have outdoor space and are pedestrianfriendly look more appealing. She notes too, that a singlefamily home automatically provides more room and a buffer from neighbors. Right now, people might not want to be in a high-rise with crowded elevators. Changing work habits might push more people to look for a truly separate work-from-home space. “People who work for large corporations may be looking at rolling re-entry,” Dominick said. “The work-from-home lifestyle might continue for a long time. The first floor of the coach house makes a great office.” It’s also possible that people will be changing what they value about houses. Dominick thinks there may be a turn away from open concept living plans with the needs for adults to work and kids to learn in homes. More time together could mean placing a higher value on separate spaces for living and working together.

Keep calm and carry out from New Star Elmwood Park mainstay adopts safety measures in response to COVID-19 New Star has been serving up Cantonese cuisine since 1954 and Jinny Zhao’s five-year ownership has brought fresh life to the North Avenue mainstay. Zhao is proud to carry on the New Star traditions started by the Moy family, but had to adapt in an in entirely new way when COVID-19 struck. “New Star is 64 years old and has a lot of loyal customers who are like my friends,” said Zhao. “All small businesses like mine are facing a tough time, but I watch to see that everything is okay here.” Food Writer After a two-week closure helped comfort worried

The pandemic shifted New Star’s menu of Chinese, Thai and Japanese dishes to a carryout-only model, but Zhao’s adaptability makes New Star a first-rate example of proper health and safety adjustments in the time of a pandemic. Patrons who opt to order and pick up a meal from New Star will be pleased with the social distancing practices in place at Elmwood Park restaurant located at 7444 W North Ave. The full carryout menu is available for download on New Star’s website, ordering by phone is quick and efficient and parking around the restaurant is a

Patrons entering for pick up are required to wear a mask and will be pleased to find masked and gloved staff members behind a protective plexiglass shield. Hot food comes organized in a sturdy, insulted and reusable bag, while cold items are kept separate in a second disposable bag. Payment and food delivery at New Star are as close to touch free as possible. “Our carryout bag is like a winter coat for your food,” said Zhao. Customers should feel confident ordering from New Star and, despite reducing their staff from 60 to 20 employees, customers should expect New Star’s time-honored attention to detail to influence the food as well. A carryout, mainstay, Zhao is particularly proud of New Star’s updated egg rolls. The perfectly fried eggrolls, come two to a portion and feature a bounty of BBQ pork, shrimp, and vegetables in a pleasing peanut sauce. “They are the best around because we use best quality meat, vegetables and peanut butter,” says Zhao confidently.
No carry out feast is complete without a traditional Chinese offering like Hunan or General Tso’s Chicken. Boasting a bevy of dried red chilies to bring a little peppery heat to the plate without being overwhelming, the Hunan Chicken brims with fresh vegetables like broccoli, carrots and mushrooms. Traditional elements like baby corn and water chestnuts give the mix authenticity. New Star’s version of General Tso’s Chicken is a perfect pandemic comfort food. Lightly battered chicken is fried until golden brown and tossed with broccoli in a sweet and spicy sauce In addition to serving up Cantonese delights, New Star has a robust offering of Japanese dishes like sushi, sashimi and teriyaki creations. The Japanese “pick two” maki lunch special comes with both a warming bowl of miso soup and a green salad. Today New Star celebrates its long history in Elmwood Park and now the expansive restaurant has been redesigned with safety in mind in the face of a pandemic. Keep calm and carryout from New Star.
