Overview

This beautifully renovated Classical Revival residence is set on spacious grounds in the historic Kenwood neighborhood. In the late nineteenth century architect Solon Beman enjoyed significant success in Chicago and was widely regarded for his residential designs. His work was heavily influenced by the remarkable display of the classical architecture at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, reflected in this magnificent residence set well back from 49th Street. This iconic home, dominated by imposing columns and a striking two-story pedimented entrance, was the home of the famed architect. The house itself is an early structure of Kenwood and predates the neoclassical porch that is attributed to Beman. The current owners undertook an extensive renovation of the main structure and addition. While the screened porch still offers genteel views of the landmark neighborhood, the interior of the home is designed for modern living. The light-filled chef's kitchen overlooks the back yard, is adjacent to the formal dining room and has easy access to a deck to enjoy on warm summer days. Also on this level is the bright and spacious living room centered on a wood burning fireplace and accented by a charming reading nook. French doors lead to the screened porch, perfect for relaxing and enjoying views of the front yard. The Primary Bedroom has been thoughtfully enlarged and offers a luxurious new bath and custom storage. Down a new staircase are three bedrooms, centered on a family/play space with access to a private, enclosed yard. Also on this level are an additional bedroom and full bath. Refinished floors, new lighting, reconfigured stairway, new baths, mud room and breakfast area - see the full list of improvements provided. A beautiful blend of history and modernity - and in move-in condition. Welcome home!
