Property Description

An exceptional expression of architectural elegance and refined living, this distinguished 6-bedoom, 5.5-bath Kenwood residence offers the rare combination of grandeur, scale, and gracious comfort.

A separate guest room with private full bath completes this level. Outside, meticulously landscaped grounds create a private and serene urban oasis, complemented by a spacious backyard and a concrete drive from the street leading to a detached two-car garage. Perfectly positioned near the lakefront, parks, premier schools, downtown transportation, and the cultural and academic institutions of the greater Hyde Park community, 4900 S. Kimbark Avenue represents a rare opportunity to experience the grandeur of a classic Chicago residence with the comfort and sophistication of modern living.
