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.
