Barbara Hogsette, current owner raised a son in the first floor apartment and rents out the second floor. She originally listed it in 2008 for $450,000 and thinks the house is a good investment, though few remnants from Capone are still there.
The gold-leaf cornices which Capone imported from Italy are there, but not the 7-foot European tubs because parts to fix them couldn't be found.
However, the original garage still stands, one of the largest in the neighborhood, where Capone kept his big, fancy cars.
Every spring and summer, Hogsette says she gets a steady stream of people riding by to take a look.
