Property Description

This charming, half-timbered Tudor Revival, set on one of Kenwood's loveliest blocks, offers the visitor one delight after another, from its front porch that runs the width of the home, to the back deck overlooking an idyllic back yard. Many updates and renovations grace this surprisingly ample beauty: On the first floor, an inviting double parlor with room for multiple conversation areas--note the French doors, tall windows, handsome built-ins, and high ceilings. The moody, atmospheric dining room, perfectly sized for intimate or large gatherings, leads to a breathtaking new kitchen (2021) with high-grade appliances, plentiful cabinetry, and stylish finishes. Continuing further back, you'll find the recently rebuilt screened-in porch and balcony, and a lush, gorgeous back yard. Rounding out the first floor is a chic, new half-bath, an essential added by this homeowner. The 2nd floor offers three spacious bedrooms plus a large office/guest room, and two updated full baths (primary bath renovated 2014). And on the top floor, you'll discover a beautiful 3rd-story retreat that could be a palatial primary bedroom, the kids' preferred social hangout, a work-from-home aerie, or truly anything you can imagine. This sun-drenched space includes a full bath and access to your future roof deck. Home also offers two-car brick garage, as well as a shared, newer concrete driveway. Live half a block from the tennis courts and playgrounds of Kenwood Park; half a block from a U-Go shuttle stop; 7 minutes from Whole Foods; 3 minutes from Lake Shore Drive; close proximity to buses, trains, schools, shops, restaurants--and to everything else you love in Hyde Park and Kenwood. Come see this wonderful home soon!
