Monthly Estimate* How much can I afford?

First time on the market in over 25 years, this amazing 3-story, 5000 sq ft Queen Anne home offers 6 spacious bedrooms and 4.5 baths in a prized location on one of the most coveted blocks in the South Kenwood Historic Landmark District. Built in 1891 by the well-regarded firm of Patton & Fisher, it is sheathed in beautiful New York red slate, in a distinctive fish-scale pattern, above an imposing solid limestone base. Lovingly and sensitively maintained by its current owner, this home contains a wealth of stunning vintage detail, including original stained moldings, high ceilings, and hardwood floors throughout. The first floor features an impressively large and gracious entrance hall, open to the distinctive oval living room with wood-burning fireplace, paneled formal dining room, and elevated music area. The well-upgraded kitchen has plenty of room for a large table and overlooks the expansive private backyard with outdoor deck and patio areas, a convenient storage shed, and a highly-prized two-car garage. Upstairs, the 2nd and 3rd floors each offer 3 sizable bedrooms and two baths. The 3rd floor also features a large cozy tree-top family room. The house has fully unobstructed exposures on three sides, so has abundant natural light throughout. Though located on a quiet tree-lined street with little thru traffic, Lake Shore Drive access, the Metra station, and downtown bus stops are just a short distance away.
