Property Description

This select property - in the Georgian Revival architectural style - represents the absolute best value on the market today. One of East Hyde Park's most distinguished historic residences, offering over 6,700 square feet of above-grade living area just moments from the University of Chicago, Museum of Science and Industry, Promontory Point, Lake Michigan, Metra, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and plenty of neighborhood dining options. Just minutes to Millennium Park via CTA Express Bus. Originally commissioned by Mrs. Emilie C. Weeks and designed by George H. Borst utilizing a rich red brick accented by detailed stone lintels over the windows and a matching raised stone perimeter wall. The facade features a perfectly balanced arrangement of multi-pane sash windows around a central entryway, a wide front portico supported by simple square columns extends across the home's width, elevating its monumental, traditional presence popular during Chicago's Gilded Age (roughly the 1870s to the 1900s). Former home to the Vivekananda Vedanta Society, this distinguished residence blends historic craftsmanship with extensive modern updates. Renovated in 2016, features include 10 bedrooms, 5 1/2 baths, soaring 11' ceilings on the first floor, 10' on the second floor and 9' on the third floor. Original hardwood floors, decorative plaster ceilings, marble fireplaces, copper plumbing supply lines, a center-island chef's kitchen with Wolf 6-burner range and Statuario marble countertops, updated 400-amp electrical service, high-velocity central air (1st & 2nd floors), efficient radiator heat, two covered terraces, rear deck, walk-in vault, partial basement (crawl space beneath kitchen) with expansion potential, and a spacious two-car garage plus flex spot. Eligible for an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) if desired. May qualify for Airbnb. A rare opportunity to own one of Hyde Park's most distinguished historic homes.
