5204 S Greenwood Ave., Chicago, IL 60615

Built circa 1903 by the major real estate developer of his day, S.E. Gross, and designed by the architect, J.C. Brompton, this house is one of twenty row-houses, which occupy the entire west side of the 5200 block of South Greenwood Avenue in Hyde Park. These brick and stone houses with distinctive classicizing facades is now a landmarked development, and is one of the first "rent-to-own" properties as devised by Mr. Gross. This home has been occupied by the current owner most happily for nearly fifty years, and while lovingly maintained, it is now ready for your tasteful improvements. Its eight rooms, five bedrooms and and one and one-half baths comprise approx. 1938 square feet of living space on two floors, plus a full and partially finished basement. An expansive yard and garden lead to a one and a half car garage off of Berkeley street. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, this home is a short walk from Hyde Park's business center and the University of Chicago
