Property Description


0.00 Acres Lot
Built in 1926
For Sale - Active
3 Units

Designed by the famous Chicago architect Edward G McClellan in 1925. Mr McClellan left his artistic imprint on this unique one of a kind property. This architectural marvel combines 17th century English Gothic Revival design with 20th century opulence and 21st century modern convenience and amenities. When you add it all up, you have 100 PERCENT luxury and a true one of a kind property. You will not find a property like this and at this incredible value ANYWHERE in Chicago. Three incredibly spacious units over almost 9,000SF of living space make this the perfect property to decide if you want a private luxurious castle, have all your family under one roof yet three separate living areas. Or take advantage of the close proximity to the University of Chicago, Hyde Park, Obama Presidential Library , Jackson Park Golf Course & Harbor, La Rabida Children's Hospital and lease two of the units. What is truly incredible is that all of the original doors and door hardware are intact. Original built-in cabinetry, moulding, wainscoting, hardwood floors, and in one of the kitchens and three of the bathrooms the original tile is still there and in magnificent condition. Third floor used to be the maid's quarters and is flooded with natural lighting with the skylight in the living room. The original bench where the maid's would sit while waiting their next instructions is still intact and in perfect condition!! While staying true to the original finishes , the owner has modernized and updated the second floor and third floor kitchen ( quartz counters and new cabinetry) , second floor and third floor hall bathrooms (3rd floor bathroom with dual vanity and brand new custom steam shower) and brand new basement bathroom with a luxurious dual rain shower bath. Three separate private exterior areas for outdoor enjoyment. Off the third floor is a private balcony with seating for 6. Perfect for enjoying an intimate dinner, or reading your favorite book. Relax and enjoy the serenity of the garden patio, surrounded by several kinds of lush hydrangeas. Take a dip in your brand new hot tub hidden in a private location in the back. Have all your friends and family over and entertain them on your 600 square foot private deck that sits on top of the three car brick garage. Lawn equipped with brand new sprinkler system. You can search far and wide, you will not find anything close to this property in the Gold Coast, Hyde Park, Beverly, Oak Park, Evanston, or anywhere else. Seller does require proof of funds or pre-approval prior to approving a private showing.
