About This Home

As of June 2026

Move right into this stylish, high-end condo in the heart of Historic South Kenwood and located in desirable Madison Park, renowned for its lush private park and arboretum. This tastefully rehabbed home was redesigned (2020) with a contemporary palette, new central air and high-end modern finishes, yet still retains vintage features with high ceilings, crown moldings, original hardwood floors, handsome doors with original hardware and period woodwork. This home boasts a gracious entertaining layout with a large living room graced with a decorative fireplace, adjacent to a spacious dining room which is directly off a 3 season porch on one end and the 14 foot butler pantry on the other. The newly designed chef's kitchen and butler pantry has a ton of storage. It also features new quartz counters and porcelain backsplash with stylish white cabinets, stainess steel appliances with a chef's stove and vented hood with a charming breakfast nook and balcony. All three bedrooms have ensuite baths and ample closets. The primary bath with its gorgeous tilework and heated floors was enlarged and redesigned with wet and dry rooms. It includes designer double sinks, a stylish large shower with two rain shower heads and separate soaking tub. The primary bedroom has the 2nd and largest balcony overlooking the back garden and brick patio. This home also has a beautifully designed mud room and in-unit laundry, plus a garage space. Additional overnight parking in Madison Park is $500 per year. Super location- walking distance to UC, Whole Foods, shops and restaurants on 53rd and transportation.
