Nestled beneath a steeply pitched tile roof is a handsome row house, located just steps from the University of Chicago campus and the Laboratory Schools. Designed in 1904 by the distinguished New York-based firm Mann, MacNeille & Lindeberg, this historic residence is beautifully detailed in both its exterior brickwork and interior woodwork. The first level is graciously proportioned for entertaining with a sunlit living room focused on the arch of a wood burning fireplace, while the dramatic wood paneled dining room offers access to the large back yard through leaded glass doors. A beautifully appointed gourmet kitchen, powder room, hardwood floors, pocket doors and small secret stairway add to the amenities. Heading up the centrally located main staircase, one finds three bedrooms and a family room (or 4th bedroom) and a full bath. The third level primary suite is filled with light and offers a fireplace surrounded by bookcases, a south facing porch, large dressing/closet area and upgraded bathroom with heated floors. A charming alcove is situated across from a small stairway which leads to a private aerie above. The current owners use this skylit space as a gym; a full bath is located here as well. In the basement are a wine cellar, laundry, mechanicals and storage. Outdoors is a lushly landscaped yard with paved and gated parking situated behind a colorful mural by artist Ruben Aguirre. All these features, combined with the superb location, make this a highly desirable home - where you can write the next chapter of it's amazing history.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
