This classic Chicago Greystone sits on an oversized lot in the heart of Bronzeville, seamlessly blending timeless architecture with modern living. This completely rebuilt home in 2017 features 5-bedrooms and 3.1-bathrooms and retains its original facade while offering the comfort, efficiency, and design of new construction. But the exterior cannot be recreated. The main level welcomes you with soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, and an abundance of natural light that pours through the open layout. A statement staircase sets the tone, while the living room, anchored by a gas fireplace, flows seamlessly into the dining area, perfect for everyday dinners or hosting on a larger scale. An additional rear sitting area overlooks the backyard and creates a versatile spot. The gourmet kitchen is the true centerpiece, featuring custom cabinetry, top-of-the-line Wolf and Bosch appliances, quartz countertops, and a walk-in pantry. Step outside to the expansive rear deck and generous backyard, ideal for summer entertaining, while a stylish powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, vaulted ceilings and skylights fill the upper-level hallway with natural light. This level offers four bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a convenient laundry room. The primary suite is a sanctuary with a walk-in closet, its own balcony, and a spa-like ensuite bathroom featuring a skylight, double vanity with ample storage and a glass enclosed bubbler tub/shower combo. Three additional bedrooms share a beautifully appointed hallway bath with Kohler fixtures, tub/shower combo with glass door and linen closet. The lower level is just as impressive as the rest of the home. With oversized ceilings, natural light, and a walk-out design for an in-law arrangement, it’s a space made for gathering and everyday enjoyment, whether as a family room, play area, game room, or weekend hangout spot. Along with an additional bedroom, a separate den perfect for a home office, full bath with a sleek walk-in shower and dual heating and cooling systems. Outside, the expansive fenced backyard offers privacy and security, while a two-car garage completes the property. Ideally located with easy access to major highways, Lake Shore Drive, Lake Michigan’s scenic lakefront trails, IIT campus, McCormick Place, you’re just minutes from downtown and Hyde Park, home to the University of Chicago, Griffin Museum of Science and Industry, and the soon-to-be Obama Presidential Center. CTA bus and train routes nearby as well. If you’ve been searching for classic, historic charm with modern day convince, this is not one to be missed.
