About This Home

As of September 2025

Luxury Living in the Kenwood Historic District - Award-Winning Design, Massive Yard! Nestled in the heart of the prestigious Kenwood Historic District, this luxurious residence is a true architectural gem, boasting a massive, beautifully landscaped yard that spans nearly half the length of a football field. Designed by award-winning architect, Anthony Akindele in 1999, this home blends timeless elegance with modern comfort, highlighted by a striking turret staircase, soaring ceilings, and walls of windows that bathe the interiors in natural light. Step inside to a formal foyer adorned with custom stonework that sets the tone for the craftsmanship throughout. The main level features an expansive living room with a wall of windows and a cozy double-sided fireplace that opens to the formal dining room-perfect for entertaining guests, holiday dinners, and family gatherings. A stylish powder room adds convenience, while the gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream with top-tier appliances, granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, double ovens, a cooktop with a vented hood, and an oversized refrigerator. The kitchen's serene view of the backyard makes it a tranquil space to cook, gather, and unwind. Ascend the gracefully curved turret staircase to the second floor, where you'll find three spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a utility room. The highlight of this level is the sprawling primary suite, featuring custom closets and a spa-like bathroom complete with granite floors and walls, a dual-sink vanity, an walk-in shower with body sprays, and an oversized luxurious elevated whirlpool tub-your personal sanctuary. The grand lower level offers high ceilings and a large family room with a fireplace and wet bar, two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and an impressive laundry room with tons of storage space. Whether you're hosting game nights or housing extended guests, there's room for everyone. The lower level does have an exterior door. But the crown jewel is the yard-truly breathtaking. From the elevated deck to the custom stone patio and the expansive grassy field lined with privacy trees, lush plants, and vibrant flowers, this outdoor oasis is ideal for everything from backyard parties to family sports tournaments. It's rare to find this kind of outdoor space in such a coveted urban setting. Additional features include a 3-car garage and a prime location within walking distance of Hyde Park's shops and restaurants, the lakefront, and the University of Chicago. Meticulously maintained and in pristine condition, this home is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece in one of Chicago's most storied neighborhoods. Welcome home!
