Property Description

A restored gem in the historic Kenwood neighborhood! In the early 20th century, "The Economist" advised readers that a contract had been awarded for an important new residence. On a huge city lot, 50 feet by 300 feet, an elegant house was under construction for J.B Cole. The home was to be "a picturesque structure in old English style of architecture." Ornamental iron doors would open to a "convenient" interior arrangement, with a circular stairway, oval dining room and "finishes of a very high grade." Today, Cole's picturesque 1904 residence has been thoroughly and lovingly restored to its earlier grandeur, with a floor plan and systems completely updated for modern living. The original ornamental iron doors are situated beneath regal stone lions on the facade of the three-story brick and stone house. Within is an entirely new house, accented by elements of an earlier era. The doors open into a dramatic entry enhanced by an original paneled fireplace surrounded by built in seating and accented by stained glass. The focus of the striking space is an elegant sweeping stairway, lit by a massive period chandelier. The two original parlors have been opened to create a formal and spacious living and dining areas. Pocket doors separate the chef's kitchen - with stainless steel appliances, quartzite countertops and plenty of space for banquette seating. The view flows toward a deck overlooking the huge back yard, fully fenced and landscaped with access to a Coach House with room for 4 cars and a one-bedroom apartment above. Back inside head up the curved staircase (or the convenient servants' stair) to the second level. Here is the massive primary suite, with a huge walk-in closet, dramatic marble clad bath with steam shower and heated sun porch overlooking the backyard. Your private oasis! There two additional bedrooms on this level, each with a decorative fireplace, and sharing a bath. The third level offers two large-scale bedrooms, each with custom closets and ensuite baths with steam showers. Throughout are wide plank wood floors and custom windows. But wait, there is one more floor, a fully finished lower level warmed by radiant floor heating. Media and family room space, large laundry room, the fifth bedroom with walk-in closet, storage, and nestled under the front porch is a wine cellar. Near all the University of Chicago, the Laboratory Schools, and all the amenities Hyde Park has to offer. Truly a spectacular Kenwood residence, ready for your finishing touches. Welcome home!
