A singular apartment in Hyde Park's premier condominium building. Converted to condominiums in 1973, The Mews on Dorchester offers a unique combination of historic character, architectural elegance, and the ease of condominium living. Apartment One, originally the developer's residence, offers more than 4,500 square feet of living space, including the expansive lower level. Enjoy the gracious proportions of a single-family home enhanced by the convenience and peace of mind of a condominium. Currently configured as a five-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence, the apartment is equally suited for sophisticated entertaining, a work-from-home retreat, and multigenerational living. Graceful architectural details, hardwood floors, original millwork, and two wood-burning fireplaces create warmth and distinction. Generously proportioned rooms provide an exceptional canvas for both classic and contemporary interiors; while dual-zoned central air-conditioning delivers modern comfort. At over 1,100 square feet, the spacious lower level offers room for recreation, fitness, office use/homework, entertaining, and hosting extended family. A private garage dedicated to Apartment One is an additional convenience. Residents enjoy shared outdoor common spaces, providing a peaceful oasis for gardening, entertaining, or simply relaxing in a bucolic backyard that feels far removed from the city. Other common areas include a children's playroom and party room; bike and stroller storage in a common-area garage; and a woodworking room for use by residents that also serves as a convenient staging area for contractors. The Mews on Dorchester presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Hyde Park history while enjoying the space, flexibility, and comfort of modern-day living. All just a few blocks from The University of Chicago, The Lab Schools, Ray School, Metra and Hyde Park's rich array of cultural and culinary attractions. Owner is a licensed Illinois real estate agent.
