Built in 1891

Welcome home! Built just prior to the 1893 World's Fair and designed by a well-respected architect of the time, W. Irving Beman, this brick townhome has been beautifully updated. While maintaining the features of the earlier era, the house is designed for today's living. The original woodwork, fireplaces (now ventless gas), elegant staircase and vintage aesthetic now coexist within a modern, open floor plan and a spacious addition to the original structure. The current owners have undertaken work both glamourous and practical since purchasing the property. New windows have been installed on the facade and west elevation, three skylights now illuminate the second level, the chimney was rebuilt, the roof is new, the parapet rebuilt, flashing replaced, exterior partially tuckpointed and the charming parkway was freshly landscaped. The eat-in kitchen offers a new refrigerator, stove and microwave; the living and dining areas have recessed lighting and are freshly painted. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths; downstairs a playroom, laundry, storage and new full bath. Additionally, a French drain was installed in the partially finished lower level, the washer and dryer are new, as are the hot water heater, the furnace with HEPA air filter, and the a/c compressor. This well-cared-for home has an outdoor space to enjoy on warm summer nights and two parking spaces. Move-in ready and near the University of Chicago, Laboratory Schools and all the Hyde Park community has to offer!
