Property Description
New on Woodlawn Avenue. Located in the heart of the South Kenwood Historic Landmark District, this imposing and gracious three-story brick residence is a rare architectural offering. Originally designed and constructed in 1904 by noted architect George Beaumont for prominent Chicago industrialist and philanthropist Bernard E. Sunny, the home was thoughtfully and comprehensively updated in 1937 with striking Art Deco era finishes, seamlessly blending historic character with modern livability. The light-filled interior is ideally suited for today's lifestyle, featuring an open and expansive floor plan across all three upper levels. A welcoming entrance opens to a dramatic oval reception hall, anchored by a sweeping curved staircase leading to the second floor. From this impressive entry, gracious rooms flow into a grand living room, formal dining room, designer kitchen with butler's pantry, and a cheerful breakfast room overlooking a private backyard with patio and garden areas. A true standout is the library off the living room, complete with distinctive leather-clad walls and a hidden bar, perfect for entertaining. The second and third floors open on to substantial landings and each features three bedrooms, two full baths, and additional flexible rooms ideal for offices or dens. Each bedroom is generously sized and uniquely detailed, with special features such as a sun porch, private terrace, or semi-enclosed reading nook. Abundant closet space is found throughout the home. The full-height basement provides excellent recreation and work-out space along with ample storage. Adding exceptional value, the rear of the property includes a recently renovated two-story coach house featuring a three-car garage on the main level and a beautifully appointed one-bedroom apartment above, complete with new windows, central air conditioning, in-unit laundry and up-to-date kitchen and bath, ideal for guests, in-law living, a nanny suite, or rental income. Conveniently located near The University of Chicago campus (including the Lab Schools), Lake Shore Drive, Metra stations, and downtown bus routes, this remarkable home offers historic elegance, modern comfort, and outstanding accessibility.
