    What's special

    Professional landscapingMature treesTwo large sinksHuge side yardCustom sconcesWindow seatsMultiple vegetable gardening beds
    Experience a truly rare and unique blend of traditional charm plus modernized conveniences in one of Chicago's most intellectually vibrant and architecturally distinguished neighborhoods. This 19th century Queen Anne Victorian represents an exceptional combination of depth, history, and warmth coupled with extensive updates that will allow you to immediately move in and live comfortably in the space. Set on parts of three oversized city lots totaling 108' x 150', this property provides a quiet sanctuary in the midst of urban sophistication unlike any other property or neighborhood in the city. The property provides multiple areas of outdoor living space with a large multi level bluestone and brick paver patio with; built in brick walls that double as seating ledges, an outdoor kitchen with a built in gas Weber Grill, mature trees, professional landscaping, an extensive nine-zoned sprinkler system that covers the entire property, its huge side yard and multiple vegetable gardening beds which you can enjoy with the frequent bird, and bunny visitors to the property. This 1885 home was painstakingly restored (completed in August 2016) with an all-encompassing professional renovation (copies of specs available for serious buyers) that included all new electrical, plumbing, HVAC (dual zoned), improved insulation, and wired high speed Cat 6 internet capability throughout the home. The extensive renovations retained the appeal and the spaciousness of Kenwood mansions of yesteryear, while at the same time improving the home to accommodate a contemporary and modern sensibility. The home boasts three floors of finished living space in addition to a full unfinished basement that can be used for virtually limitless storage or can be finished for additional living space. The formal living room anchors the home with a stunning tiered crystal chandelier, custom sconces, and a sun-drenched original stained-glass transom window. One set of pocket doors separates the formal living and dining areas from a chef's kitchen, while another original set of pocket doors leads into a side family room that can be used as a study or reading/sitting room. This light-filled property boasts multiple bay and oriel window bays, window seats, and remote controlled custom blinds on the first floor. The upper floors feature window treatments that allow top down operation, which offers all of the benefits of bathing your rooms and yourself in sunlight while also maintaining privacy as desired. The kitchen and bathrooms were professionally and thoughtfully designed. The chef's kitchen features a 48 inch Wolf gas dual oven and range with included grill and griddle/Plancha cooking surface plus a custom commercial grade vent hood, a pot-filler, two large sinks, and a dual temperature zone SubZero wine/beverage fridge. The kitchen also features high end fixtures, including custom Crystal cabinets with leathered granite outer countertops and White Princess Quartzite on the large, custom island. The home boasts four bedrooms including two primary suites, each with an en suite bathroom and large walk in closets. The larger en suite bathroom includes an Oceania air jetted tub, as well as a separate shower with a stone floor. The third bedroom is also oversized and features a working fireplace and bay window. Situated near the border of South Kenwood and Hyde Park, this property is a short 12 minute drive to downtown Chicago, seven minute walk to the Metra, two blocks to Whole Foods and express to downtown CTA bus service, a ten minute walk to the lake front, across the street from the Solon Beman designed Blackstone Library, just over a mile to the center of the University of Chicago campus, and a short walking distance from restaurants, cafes, bookstores, parks, tennis courts, and local shopping. Truly everything you could desire in your urban retreat. Contact us today to schedule a private showing. ***Broker owned property, and broker's primary residence. ***
