Property description
Dramatic price drop on this dramatic terraced home at the end of 4. Never repeated, this unique house is like nothing else in Hyde Park. Light pours into the interior of the house. The original architect re-designed & built a new kitchen featuring unique quartz countertops The house is noted for its private face to the street. However the breathtaking south facade (which is almost all glass) embraces the sun & beautiful gardens. Each room opens out to the patio & yard on the main floor & to decks that span the entire rear walls of the 2nd and 3rd floors. Four bedrooms: two on the 2nd floor (each with its own bath) & two more on the 3rd floor that share a hall bath. The laundry room is also conveniently located on the top floor. There is no basement: it is built on a slab. The roofs & HVAC were new in 2013. Completely tuckpointed in 2009. All of the parapet coping stones were replaced in 2016. Great location near U of C & the exciitement of 53rd St. Walk Score is 89 & Bike Score is 95!
