4541 S Forrestville Ave

Experience the charm of Rycroft, a historically significant Bronzeville mansion, by being the first to occupy its newly renovated top-floor residence. This expansive flat is designed for sunlight lovers, with over 2,000 sq ft, featuring a vintage glass-roofed skylight and windows on all sides that bring in natural light with skyline views. Originally designed by architect Asbury Buckley as a residence for the Rycroft family in 1903, the single-family home was converted to apartments in the 1920s. A years-long renovation and restoration project has just been completed, skillfully incorporating modern comforts while preserving the warmth and soul 122 years in the making. The grand center entry opens to a skylight lit living area with original hardwood floors and treetop views. The wide and flexible 7-room layout allows for generous living areas and up to four king-sized bedrooms. The spacious primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and luxurious bath with step-in shower. A hidden pocket door allows for a private guest suite with a Carrara marble-slabbed bathroom featuring an original lion's-foot tub. A third bedroom with double doors can easily serve as a family room or formal dining room off the kitchen. The fourth corner bedroom is ideal to double as a sunny office or studio. The custom-designed kitchen showcases stunning quartz countertops and an eat-in breakfast peninsula opening to a dining or lounge area with original warm pine floors. All new Bespoke appliances in white glass include a smart induction range with air-fryer features, a large-capacity refrigerator with beverage center, and a Whisper Quiet dishwasher. Benefit from additional energy-efficient features such as an in-unit all-in-one washer/dryer, LED lighting, ceiling fans, and high-efficiency HVAC system and electric water heater. Enjoy multiple outdoor living options, on your private deck, common courtyard patio, or covered front porch. Take advantage of the ample closets, plentiful kitchen cabinetry, additional available storage in the basement, and shared bike storage. Garage parking will become available for an additional fee, while street parking is easy and plentiful on a tranquil, low-traffic block. Only two unique units remain, so hurry to lock in your selection. Why settle for bland, cookie-cutter new construction when you can call this historic one-of-a-kind place your home?
