An almost $10 million nearby mansion listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a landmark is officially up for sale. Get a glimpse inside this gorgeous home, which is located just south of Lake View's southern Diversey Parkway border.

Wondering what nearly $10 million worth of North Side real estate looks like?

Well, wonder no more. This week, our "Wow House" is a $9.9 million seven bedroom, nine bathroom Frances J. Dewes mansion in the heart of the next-door Lincoln Park neighborhood at 503 W. Wrightwood Ave.

Unlike any other home in Chicago, the 12,000-square-foot residence has earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places as a Chicago Landmark. Realtors call it a "confection of German baroque and French architecture."
