This lovely 5 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath Victorian by architect F.R. Schock is located on one of the most desirable blocks in the S. Kenwood Historical district. With its vintage charm dating back to 1890, the home features high ceilings, original woodwork and wainscoting, two original fireplaces and oak floors. While the home is in good condition and could use some updating, it does have modern features, including a Samsung AC ductless mini-split system on all three levels and two newer baths. The Foyer features a grand staircase with oak wainscoting and this opens to a grand living room with its original fireplace, now probably decorative. There is a separate dining room that features oak wainscoting and stained glass. A sizable eat-in kitchen graces the entire width of the house and includes large LG washer and dryer and granite counters. The second floor includes the primary bedroom suite with its bay windows, oversized walk in closet with built ins and a full bath. Three additional large bedrooms on this floor share a new high-end bath with travertine marble. The third floor is quite special with its original ballroom, a luggage/storage room, the 5th bedroom and an attractive newly tiled bath with a walk-in shower. The basement is unfinished. The exterior of the home was painted within the last few years. This home is an estate and because the age of the mechanicals and roof are unknown, they are selling the home, "As Is." Close to a Lake Shore Drive access, the Metra, grocery shopping, restaurants and all that Hyde Park/Kenwood has to offer.
