Own a Piece of Al Capone Real Estate

There is no more notorious gangster in American lore than one, Alphonse Gabriel Capone. Or more commonly known as Al Capone. Even though he died in 1947 at the age of 48, we are still enamored with this villainous character today. DeNiro has played him in The Untouchables. He’s even appeared as a character on HBO’s Boardwalk Empire. But now you can own a piece of Al Capone history.

For Sale: Al Capone's Secret Gin Mill

There is no more notorious gangster in American lore than one, Alphonse Gabriel Capone. Or more commonly known as Al Capone. Even though he died in 1947 at the age of 48, we are still enamored with this villainous character today.  DeNiro has played him in The Untouchables. He’s even appeared as a character on HBO’s Boardwalk Empire. But now you can own a piece of Al Capone history.

Currently listed by Cindy Heckelsberg of Coldwell Banker Honig-Bell, the home pictured above is rumored to be one of Al Capone’s gin mills during the prohibition era. According to the listing details, the first floor is the original dwelling and built in a log cabin style while the second floor was an addition added later. The three bedroom home is located in Yorkville, IL which is just a car ride away from the hustle and bustle of the Windy City.

To me it looks like the perfect place for Capone. An unassuming property that’s suited more for fishing, hiking and raking leaves that would act as the perfect cover for the mobster’s shadier activities. I hope I’m not giving you any ideas…

In any case check out all the photos of this Capone hideout on coldwellbanker.com.
