The suburban Chicago house where Ernest Hemingway is believed to have written some of his earliest works will be converted back into a single-family home, but fans of the novelist are welcome to visit, the new owners said.
The Ernest Hemingway Foundation put the Oak Park property on the market in February and Kurt and Mary Jane Neumann closed a $525,000 (€418,921) deal on the home.
The foundation bought the house in 2001 in hopes of turning it into a cultural centre but could not make the finances work, according to John Berry, the group's chairman.
The home has been divided into three apartments since the 1930s.
