Description
Very rare opportunity to own an exquisitely-renovated free-standing home on one of the most treasured blocks in the University of Chicago campus neighborhood. This classic home underwent a one-of-a-kind complete renovation 7 years ago, and the result is a stunning modern 6-bedroom, 4 1/2 bath home with a 3-car brick garage. Renovation included all new plumbing, electric, and HVAC systems, as well as roof, windows, floors, kitchen, and baths (a complete renovation list is available upon request). Beautiful professionally-landscaped yard. Just steps to the University and Lab School campuses.
