A truly distinguished offering in Chicago's coveted Kenwood Historic District, this magnificent estate brings together architectural stature, exceptional scale, and beautifully appointed living spaces, in a setting of remarkable privacy and serenity. Set on an expansive half-acre parcel, the impressive 1922 brick residence encompasses more than 10,000 square feet of living space, with seven bedrooms, six-and-one-half bathrooms, three fireplaces, and the convenience of an elevator. Its generous proportions offer an extraordinary foundation for elegant entertaining, private retreats, with ample opportunity to create a residence of exceptional distinction. A separate brick coach house adds another dimension to the property, featuring a spacious three-car garage and a fully renovated two-bedroom, two-bath apartment above. An attached greenhouse provides an inviting space for gardening and year-round enjoyment of the outdoors. The park-like grounds are a destination in themselves. Mature plantings, thoughtfully composed garden spaces, a charming gazebo, and a stocked koi pond create a tranquil, secluded setting rarely found within the city. Whether hosting outdoor gatherings or enjoying a quiet afternoon among the gardens, the grounds offer a remarkable extension of the home's living spaces. Surrounded by Kenwood's tree-lined streets and distinguished historic architecture, the estate enjoys convenient access to Hyde Park, the University of Chicago, cultural attractions, neighborhood parks, and the lakefront. This is a rare opportunity to experience the scale, privacy, and enduring character of a landmark Chicago neighborhood while creating an extraordinary urban sanctuary.
