What's special
Wrought-iron gates border 5300, which gracefully anchors the corner of South Hyde Park Boulevard and 53rd Street. Recessed entryways crowned with triangular Grecian pediments reflect a slight Gothic influence. The creamy limestone base supports and elevates a rich red brick facade, which varies in color and depth to highlight expansive, projected bay windows, ushering in morning sunlight and providing views of Lake Michigan to the east and the bustling street just below.
