Description
High above historic Hyde Park/Kenwood, this vintage residence blends vintage architectural character with modern convenience including IN-UNIT WASHER/DRYER. Sunlight pours into the expansive living and dining spaces while glimpses of Lake Michigan and the urban landscape create a beautiful backdrop. Hardwood floors, a decorative fireplace, custom built-ins, and gracious room sizes reflect the craftsmanship of another era while elegant architectural details, oversized windows, and classic finishes throughout give the home warmth and character while preserving its timeless appeal.
