About This Home

As of August 2018

A lovely home on Ridgewood Court! This elegant, highly-updated Victorian home is perfectly situated on one of Hyde Park's most charming blocks. The light-filled, newly-decorated 5 bedroom, 3 bath house retains much of its historic vintage detail (e.g., a working gas fireplace with original mantel and tile surround), while incorporating substantial modern upgrades, such as central A/C, R16 insulation in the roof and walls, all new plumbing, new electrical service and wiring, newer roof, and more. The upgraded kitchen comes with hardwood cabinets, just-installed Carrera quartz counters and subway tile backsplash, new appliances, and a separate breakfast area. The recently finished dry basement adds abundant usable square footage to the home, with a new slab floor with radiant heat and a brand new full bath. Spacious screen porch off the kitchen. Steps to Nichols Park. Easy walking distance to downtown transportation, the shops on 53rd Street, the U of Chicago campus, and Lab School.
