Description
Built in 1896, by the renowned Chicago firm of Wilson & Marshall, this fabulously restored 3-story free-standing limestone home is well located on a double lot within the historic South Kenwood landmark district. Truly in move-in condition, this elegant mansion has an abundance of light-filled rooms and a floor plan conducive to both elegant entertaining and comfortable family living. Original vintage details abound, including high ceilings, glorious wood trim (including a majestic main staircase), and inlaid hard wood floors. Modern features include updated kitchen and baths and central A/C. There is a private enclosed verdant side yard as well as an amazing renovated coach house with a 3-car garage and a 3-bedroom, 2-bath apartment above, with potential rental income. Over $150k in recent improvements, including a new tear-off roof, new HVAC systems in both the main house and coach house, and an outdoor sprinkler system.
