Welcome to this classic 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath Victorian single-family home ideally located on the University of Chicago campus. Generously sized rooms, beautiful period details, and timeless architectural character give this home a warmth and personality that new construction simply cannot replicate. Ready for its next chapter, the home offers an exciting opportunity for a new owner to make it their own. Some updating is needed, creating a rare chance to thoughtfully restore its original beauty or introduce a fresh, modern perspective while keeping the home's distinctive Victorian character front and center. Four bedrooms provide plenty of flexibility for family, guests, and dedicated home-office space. The eat-in kitchen overlooks a large, enclosed backyard with wonderful potential for entertaining, gardening, and outdoor living. All of this in an exceptional Hyde Park location just minutes from the lakefront and Promontory Point, 57th Streetshops and restaurants, University of Chicago, neighborhood parks, and convenient public transportation. A truly special Chicago home with incredible character, space, and potential.
