MOTIVATED SELLER! PRICED TO SELL! This stately Greystone home is on the market for the first time in 51 years. Built in 1892, the current owner has thoughtfully updated the home while retaining the original elegance. A sense of grace and grandeur is felt upon entering into the large entry hall-gallery space which highlights a sweeping staircase. This main level is the perfect entertainment space. The open floor plan hosts an expansive living room area with woodburning fireplace leading into the spacious dining room and open kitchen. The kitchen was updated in 2018 and has a copious amount of cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and a wonderful island. The kitchen leads to the spacious 170 sq. ft. back deck. There is a powder room on this level as well as laundry with full size washer and dryer. Originally a 6 bedroom home, one of the bedrooms on the second floor has been opened and a skylight has been added, providing extra natural light. This open concept room is perfect for a family room or open office. There are 3 bedrooms on this level - one with a woodburning fireplace- and 2 updated baths. The third floor has 2 additional bedrooms with a bath. The full finished basement, with powder room, offers additional space for multiple uses: an area for a recreation room, an area for a playroom and an area for a workroom! The rear stairway leading to the kitchen remains, the hardwood floors on the main level have been replaced, the windows have been replaced, roofs have been replaced, the kitchen and baths have been updated, the carpeting is all new AND the home has a parking pad that accommodates two cars! The location of this home in the Hyde Park/Kenwood neighborhood is amazing! Only steps to transportation, parks, the lake, schools, shopping, restaurants, the Museum of Science & Industry, the Obama Center and to the University of Chicago.
