Property Description
A special home on Harper in move-in condition with garage parking! This thoughtfully redesigned Victorian home is perfectly situated on one of Hyde Park's most popular and charming blocks. Highly upgraded by the current owners, the resulting 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home retains an abundance of historic vintage detail (high ceilings, hardwood floors), plus numerous modern upgrades, including central a/c, new baths and kitchen, and a wonderfully finished basement. The newly-redesigned open kitchen comes with hardwood cabinets, stone counters, a professional grade stove and hood, and a separate breakfast area. The basement has been recently completely renovated to include a TV/gaming area, an additional bedroom (perfect for guests and/or teens), and a modern full bath. Spacious deck off the dining room overlooks the deep, grassy backyard. Easy walking distance to downtown transportation, the shops on 57th Street, the University of Chicago campus, and both Lab School locations.

Explore Hyde Park
Hyde Park is home of the prestigious University of Chicago and the Museum of Science and Industry. This once prosperous hotel and lakeside resort area on Chicago's south side is quickly returning to its former glory with new residential development and scenic waterfront landscapes. The breathtaking sliver of shoreline along Lake Michigan is usually speckled with walkers, joggers, bikers and stroller-pushers, while the museum grounds teem with visitors from around the world. The rest of Hyde Park accommodates residents and students with a diverse mix of restaurants, bookshops, historic landmarks and several seasonal events, bike tours and neighborhood street festivals. Throughout Hyde Park are stunning vintage buildings and treasured architectural gems, some designed by famous architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe.
