About This Home
As of August 2020Best known for his work at major American universities, James Gamble Rogers designed this extraordinary cruciform-shaped home, which is on the market for the first time in over 50 years. Featuring magnificent public rooms with glorious leaded windows, Art Nouveau lighting, mahogany pocket doors and woodwork, and masterful fireplaces - this home is just blocks from the University of Chicago and walking distance to all Hyde Park has to offer. The current owners redid the plaster, stripped the painted woodwork, installed the ductwork for air conditioning, and lovingly took care of the property for decades. The kitchen and adjacent Butler's Pantry provide ample space to prepare meals served in the wainscoted dining room. An imposing stairway over a connecting arched passage leads to three floors above. On the second level, three of the four bedrooms have fireplaces and include French doors that lead to outdoor spaces. Additionally there is a two car coach house with two bedroom apartment above and lovely yard. An opportunity to update a well-preserved gem - this house awaits the next chapter of it's incredible history.
