Property Description

This magnificent residence is located on a verdant tree-lined street in the heart of the Kenwood Historic District. While constructed after the turn of the last century, the house has been elegantly and thoroughly updated for life in the current one. Horatio R. Wilson was a well-respected architect of his time, and his work is known for structural integrity and quality of materials - each of which are apparent decades after he first conceived of the design. Sited on a ridge that once ran across the Kenwood landscape, the impressive house had been meticulously maintained by former owners, and that stewardship continues. Behind the handsome facade of the nearly 8,000 square foot house is a wide array of aesthetic and mechanical improvements recently completed. The latest renovation (following an earlier gut rehab) included extensive masonry work, new windows, floors sanded and refinished, fireplaces relined and chimneys tuckpointed, new lighting, new bathrooms; all combine to make this a home that is a rarity in the neighborhood - truly move in ready. The quality of the residence is apparent the moment one enters the foyer, with an elegant carved stairway that rises the full three levels, capped by a dramatic skylight. The refined layout of the main level offers a formal living and dining rooms, a library (each with a fireplace) and a kitchen that was transformed by John Vinci, a living legend of Chicago architecture. The stunning space offers Bulthaup cabinetry, with vistas that extend to the lush exterior through a glass wall to covered porch framed by commercial grade railings and staircase, accented by recessed lighting in the warmth of a wood slat ceiling. The second and third levels of the house each feature three bedrooms and multiple baths, of which the Primary Bath is truly a room with a view. Large welcoming landings, hardwood floors, walk-in closets, vintage woodwork, crown moldings, leaded glass - the amenities are too numerous to list! And they continue on the lower level, with a mud room complete with dog spa, exercise room, additional full laundry, game room, family room and storage. The coach house was fully renovated and accommodates two cars (with EV charger) below the contemporary one-bedroom apartment. Kenwood is a short 8-minute drive from the Loop, near the University of Chicago, Laboratory Schools and all the Hyde Park community has to offer. A stunning property where you can with the next chapter of its extraordinary history.
