Your chance to own a piece of Chicago history! Built in the year of the world's Colombian Exhibition in nearby Jackson Park, this stunning greystone is nestled between its neighbors on Washington Park Court, a Chicago landmark block of architecturally distinct rowhouses tucked away in a quiet corner of Grand Boulevard at the southern edge of Bronzeville. Lovingly maintained and modernized in the last decade, this beautiful home features a facade of Indiana limestone, original woodwork from 1893, and hardwood floors throughout the first and second floor. The home's main level flows from the front living and dining space to a massive, thoughtfully designed chef's kitchen. The original grand staircase in the entryway brings you upstairs to a bright sky-lit hallway with a spacious master bedroom featuring a newly renovated (2021) ensuite bath and west-facing bay windows that let in an abundance of natural light. The second floor also features three additional bedrooms, a full bath with a deep soaking tub, and plenty of storage, including built-in bookshelves. In the finished basement, you'll find laundry, another full bath, and an open flex space currently being used as an artist's studio and cozy den, all accessible via both front and rear private entries. Outdoors, a garage rooftop deck provides an intimate venue for summer socializing. The new (2022) garage's roll-up garage door means easy access to exposed rafters, offering extra storage potential for bikes, kayaks, or other gear. Coming home and getting away is a breeze, with the Loop, Hyde Park, and even Indiana all easily accessible via 90/94, King Drive (the original Grand Boulevard), and the Green Line. Walk or bike to Washington Park, shops, and restaurants along bustling 47th and 51st Streets. Don't miss the opportunity to call this home yours!
