About This Home
As of May 2025Welcome to this charming home-a true masterpiece designed by renowned architect George Maher! Nestled on an impressive oversized 150-foot-deep lot, this property has been lovingly restored and beautifully showcases its captivating historic features. As you enter, you'll be greeted by magnificent pocket doors, a stunning floor-to-ceiling pier mirror, and an elegantly crafted staircase with hand-tooled spindles that harmonize with the home's original details, speaking to its rich legacy. To your right is a beautiful front room, which offers endless possibilities for use: whether as a formal living room, a den, or a lounge. Beyond the front room, you'll find a warm and inviting family room and a sophisticated dining room. Here, a delightful built-in window seat, an exquisite breakfront, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace create the perfect ambiance for hosting memorable gatherings with friends and family. The breathtaking woodwork throughout the home is truly remarkable! The spacious kitchen is a wonderful space for enjoying meals together, featuring ample room for a table and easy access to the charming back deck, private yard, and convenient two-car garage. You'll appreciate the modern comforts of this home, including a full bathroom on the main floor, another upstairs, and a newly installed bathroom on the lower level. A bright and airy landing connects two of the four inviting bedrooms, while the other two are situated down a peaceful private hallway. The current owners have thoughtfully made numerous updates, including finishing the lower level, enhancing the HVAC system, completing roof work, waterproofing, and adding a sump pump and an ejector pump. Feel free to ask for a detailed list of these fantastic updates! Located in the vibrant Hyde Park neighborhood, this home is just minutes from the serene lakefront, the University of Chicago, the future Barack Obama Library and Museum, and a variety of lively shops. It also provides easy express bus and Metra access to downtown. What a wonderful opportunity! 2023 property tax with home owners exemption: $14,967.17
