An exceptional expression of architectural elegance and refined living, this distinguished 6-bedoom, 5.5-bath Kenwood residence offers the rare combination of grandeur, scale, and gracious comfort.

Additional bedrooms are also generously sized and complemented by beautifully appointed baths, offering exceptional comfort and privacy. The lower level further enhances the home's remarkable livability, with an expansive finished recreation room featuring built-in shelving, and recessed lighting -- an ideal setting for casual entertaining, recreation. A separate guest room with private full bath completes this level. Outside, meticulously landscaped grounds create a private and serene urban oasis, complemented by a spacious backyard and a concrete drive from the street leading to a detached two-car garage. Perfectly positioned near the lakefront, parks, premier schools, downtown transportation, and the cultural and academic institutions of the greater Hyde Park community, 4900 S. Kimbark Avenue represents a rare opportunity to experience the grandeur of a classic Chicago residence with the comfort and sophistication of modern living.
