About This Home

An exceptional expression of architectural elegance and refined living, this distinguished 6-bedoom, 5.5-bath Kenwood residence offers the rare combination of grandeur, scale, and gracious comfort. Set on one of the neighborhood's most beautiful, tree-lined streets, this magnificent early 20th-century home is distinguished by its handsome brick facade, generous proportions and timeless craftsmanship, along with many significant modern upgrades. Spanning approximately 6,700 square feet, the residence unfolds across an impressive and thoughtfully designed floor plan, with soaring ceilings, exquisite hardwood floors, elegant millwork, and a wealth of original architectural character. The gracious entry leads to beautifully proportioned formal rooms, including an expansive living room anchored by a fireplace and an elegant dining room designed for memorable entertaining. The sophisticated yet inviting kitchen features top-quality stainless-steel appliances, a substantial center island, farmhouse sink, and abundant cabinetry, creating a refined setting for both intimate meals and large-scale gatherings. A private den offers an ideal retreat for work or relaxation. The sumptuous primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring generous proportions, two large walk-in closets, and a luxurious marble bath with dual vanities, a deep soaking tub, and separate shower. Additional bedrooms are also generously sized and complemented by beautifully appointed baths, offering exceptional comfort and privacy. The lower level further enhances the home's remarkable livability, with an expansive finished recreation room featuring built-in shelving, and recessed lighting -- an ideal setting for casual entertaining, recreation. A separate guest room with private full bath completes this level. Outside, meticulously landscaped grounds create a private and serene urban oasis, complemented by a spacious backyard and a concrete drive from the street leading to a detached two-car garage. Perfectly positioned near the lakefront, parks, premier schools, downtown transportation, and the cultural and academic institutions of the greater Hyde Park community, 4900 S. Kimbark Avenue represents a rare opportunity to experience the grandeur of a classic Chicago residence with the comfort and sophistication of modern living. The home is truly in move-in condition, having undergone extensive mechanical & structural renovations from sub-foundation to roof, including multi-zone radiant heat and air conditioning, continuous hot water, 400 AMP electrical service, and replaced water, gas and sewer lines.
