Welcome to historic Kenwood, where yesterday's grandeur meets today's elegance. Nestled on a scenic double lot, this grand three-story home formerly known as The Duchisois Residence and designed by F.R. Schock is located in the South Kenwood Historical District. This stunning 8-bedroom, 5-bathroom home exudes vintage charm with its original oakwood floors, trim, solid core doors, and three original fireplaces. Offering nearly 6500 sq ft of luxurious living space, it features recessed lighting throughout, updated electric and plumbing, a new roof installed in 2014, a newly installed boiler, and separate central air systems. The grand foyer entry with parlor showcases gorgeous stained glass. The formal living and dining spaces and main level family room provide ample space for entertaining. The master bedroom suite includes a spa bath, while spacious bedrooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors offer comfort and style, including a large cedar closet. The modern gourmet kitchen boasts built-in custom appliances, and updated baths enhance the home's appeal. The lower recreational space has a wet bar and a second functional kitchen adding versatility. Outside, a huge detached 2-car garage with a 1000 sq ft coach house on top complements the incredible gated yard featuring a luxurious patio and mature landscaping. Walking distance to Lake Michigan, shopping, and museums. Easy to show with occupancy upon closing. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Kenwood history.
