Spanning over 2,500 square feet, this Hyde Park residence is a masterclass in scale and light. Rare, three-sided exposures East, West, and unobstructed South bathe the home in a constant glow, highlighting a floor plan that feels both grand and intimate. With three generous bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, the layout offers an effortless flow between formal entertaining areas and private, sun-drenched retreats.

Original trim and rich walnut-toned hardwood floors anchor the space, while contemporary essentials like central air and thermo-pane windows ensure year-round comfort. The primary suite serves as a true sanctuary, featuring a spacious bath equipped with both a walk-in shower and a deep soaking tub.
Unique spaces abound, offering a lifestyle of quiet sophistication. Start the day on the breakfast porch just off the dining room or find focus in the dedicated private office. As the sun sets, the living room's decorative fireplace provides a cozy backdrop, leading into a stunning treetop solarium that captures sweeping western views.
