It does if a first floor den is important to you.

The typical lot width in Hinsdale IL, a western suburb of Chicago, is 50 feet. The residential zoning is so restrictive here that it is nearly impossible to get a first floor den on lots of this width (particularly the smaller lots).

815 S. Quincy, Hinsdale IL, has a 55 foot wide lot. The combination of the extra width and the additional size that the extra width contributes to the floor area ratio is such that an extra room is achievable. Overwhelmingly, buyers in this near western suburban market desire a first floor den.  

Can you think of a few uses for this space?

The bonus appeal is that this home is priced against smaller homes (on 500 foot wide lots) which lack this significant benefit. Add in a park (3 houses away) and a back yard that’s actually useable and functional and I think that you’ve just satisfied your housing needs for some time.
