Property Description
Welcome to 6642 S. Drexel Avenue, a beautifully restored historic residence in the heart of Woodlawn that has been thoughtfully deconverted from a two-flat into a stunning single-family home. Combining timeless character with modern luxury, this home underwent an extensive renovation and restoration completed in 2026. From the moment you enter, you'll appreciate the beautiful hardwood floors that flow throughout the home and the expansive open-concept main level designed for both everyday living and entertaining.

Each suite offers privacy, comfort, and its own dedicated bathroom, creating the ultimate retreat for family members and guests alike. The fully finished basement expands the living space even further, offering two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and endless possibilities for recreation, a home office, fitness area, or extended living arrangements.
