Description
Sophisticated urban living in the heart of the University of Chicago community. When David Swan designed this residence on Kimbark Avenue in 1985, his Post-Modern house replicated the rhythmic quality of other older houses on the block. However Swan used a series of geometric solids and voids to do so, that today blend beautifully into the streetscape. The home he created is a jewel, with broad windows encompassing the surrounding landscape and interiors that provide sizable volumes for each member of a family to find their own space. Situated in a coveted location, the house is contemporary yet malleable to a number of styles within. 5748 has been beautifully transformed by the current owner; windows have been replaced, Pella doors are new, hardwood floors redone, while a continuity of color palette and design flows through each of the four levels. The stunning high-end kitchen opens onto a family room, providing a space that is perfect for entertaining, with vistas out to the lushly landscaped patio and BBQ area. On the second level there are four bedrooms with high end and ingeniously designed custom closets in each, two new bathrooms and a large laundry. Sun porches and decks add additional welcome and private areas for summer enjoyment.The master suite encompasses the entire third level, with a separate office and fabulous bath - truly a room with a view. A dressing area and two walk-in closets add to the amenities. Full finished basement and, a necessity for this location, the requisite garage and parking pad. Meticulously cared for and a fresh departure from the surrounding Gothic structures of the University of Chicago, this house is move-in ready. A home where you can write the next chapter of it's extraordinary history.
