A timeless treasure just minutes from the University of Chicago. This Arts & Crafts residence was designed by local architect Thomas McCall. Regarded as "among the foremost of Hyde Park architects in the finish of work and original ideas" the residence showcases McCall's commitment to craftsmanship and artistry. Step inside to find original woodwork, gleaming hardwood floors, built-ins and stunning stained-glass windows. A beautifully detailed entry foyer welcomes you to a gracious space that flows seamlessly into a formal living room and adjacent dining room. The gourmet kitchen has been expanded, is adjacent to a versatile family/flex space, and has access to a porch to enjoy on warm summer days. The large back yard offers a tranquil private retreat and convenient access to a two-car garage with electric charger. Ascend the stairs to discover four well-appointed bedrooms complemented by one full and one half-bath on the second level. The lower level has been thoughtfully finished with a large library, laundry room, full bath and a rejuvenating sauna. Plenty of storage as well within this handsome residence, ensuring practicality meets elegance. This exquisite residence combines historic charm with modern conveniences, including running on solar energy. Situated on a quiet block, and within walking distance to neighborhood schools and all Hyde Park has to offer. Welcome home!
