Description
The three story brick building located at 5036-38 South Drexel Blvd was designed by the architect Frank C. Jobson in 1910. The facade is distinguished by large pillars and three wide arches which are not often seen in combination along the Boulevard, Hyde Park or Kenwood. During the time of the buildings construction, Drexel Boulevard was a thriving beautiful street anchored by stately mansions and manicured gardens. Today, the Boulevard once again is adorned with lavish gardens and sidewalks creating a 2 mile centerpiece. Unit 2S is a spacious 3BR,2.5BTH updated arts and crafts condominium. The owners have maintained the original mahogany paneling, floor trim and ceiling moldings. Two large decorative fireplaces with original mahogany mantels create the focal point of the living room and family room. The 10 foot ceilings contribute to the properties arts and crafts aesthetic. All of the bedrooms are generously proportioned with walk in closets. The dining room features quarter sawn oak paneling, original oak ceiling moldings and built-ins with side hutches-all original. The kitchen is spacious with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops and ample storage. The condo has in unit laundry and all of the windows with the exception of the living room have been replaced within the last four years. New custom radiator covers were incorporated within the last two years. The property also offers a large front balcony overlooking the boulevard and a back porch. The building has a parking lot with five spaces. Parking is on a first arrival basis. With close proximity to public transportation, Hyde Park and The University of Chicago.
