House Hunt: Capone Lore and Open Houses

Two local open houses are scheduled Sunday.

Welcome to House Hunt, a regular feature designed to give you a glimpse at Yorkville's real estate market.

This week, we're highlighting 9065 Van Emmon Road, which recently was featured in a Zillow article about celebrity sightings in real estate listings. This home, which sits on an acre, was reputed to be one Al Capone's gin mills, according to the listing on Zillow, a real estate website.

You can check it out yourself during an open house from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday.

In the future we may feature homes that have been listed for months, homes offered for less than $150,000 - or simply homes that will be showcased in upcoming open houses.
