About This Home
An extraordinary blend of historic Chicago architecture and modern luxury defines this oversized two-bedroom, two-bath condominium located at 3976 South Ellis Avenue in the heart of Oakland/Hyde Park township. Part of an eight-unit residence with a facade inspired by the iconic Greystones of the 1800s, the home delivers both timeless character and contemporary comfort. The interior showcases a spacious open floor plan with soaring nine-foot ceilings and maple hardwood floors set on a striking 45-degree angle, lending a true designer touch to every room. A gas-burning fireplace anchors the living area, creating warmth and architectural detail, while the chef-inspired kitchen features 42-inch cabinetry, quartz countertops, and brand-new Samsung appliances, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
