5333 S University Ave.

This gorgeous, sunny, fully-renovated 3-story brick Georgian, on a highly-desirable, quiet block close to the University of Chicago campus, seamlessly allies vintage and modern features. With a size that is ample without being overwhelming and a floor plan that allows for maximum flexibility of living and design choices, it's truly a rare find in the Hyde Park/Kenwood neighborhood. The hardwood floors, two sun porches, numerous built-ins, two staircases, high ceilings and graciously proportioned rooms combine with all new plumbing and electrical systems, central A/C, second floor laundry, and handsomely renovated kitchen and baths. The main level is centered on a gracious entrance hall, which opens on to the living room with wood-burning fireplace, library/music room, and spacious dining room with adjacent sun porch. The second floor bedrooms are all large and evenly distributed. The primary suite includes not only a sunny corner bedroom, full bath with double-sized shower, and walk-in closet, but also a full dressing room with custom built-in cabinetry. The third floor features two more good-sized bedrooms, a full bath and a spacious, yet cozy and private, family room. The basement rec room has plenty of space and ceiling height for gym equipment, ping pong table, and gaming area, plus a full bath. The rebuilt brick coach house at the back of the expansive landscaped backyard features a three-car garage on the first level. Upstairs, there's a spectacular, newly renovated artist's studio with tree-top views. The central Hyde Park location places this wonderful home in easy walking distance to the University campus as well as the shops and restaurants along the 53rd Street commercial strip.
