About the Listing 10317 - 133303
Considered one of Hyde Park's finest surviving examples of 19th-century residential architecture, this imposing three-story brick home, designed in the Italianate style, is truly one-of-a-kind. Built in 1869 for the Hoyt family-early Hyde Park residents who arrived as the neighborhood was emerging as one of Chicago's most desirable enclaves-this remarkable residence dates to the pivotal post-Civil War period, when Hyde Park was developing as a center of culture, education, and civic life. The home reflects the craftsmanship and architectural ambition of its era, and the current structure retains many of its glorious original features, including 15-foot ceilings on the main level, oversized windows and doors, four original marble fireplaces, and a graceful sweeping staircase to the second floor. These details speak to the home's original role as a statement residence, designed for both formal entertaining and comfortable daily living. Meticulously and thoughtfully renovated by its current owners, the home has been carefully updated to meet modern expectations while honoring its historic character. It now features a sleek contemporary kitchen, stylish modern baths, all-new systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), new windows, and a new roof-ensuring comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind without compromising architectural integrity. Gracious, elegant rooms for entertaining occupy the first floor; four bedrooms and three baths are located on the second level; and the third floor offers an additional bedroom, bath, and family room. Substantial room sizes throughout all three levels further underscore the scale and quality typical of grand 19th-century homes. A spacious deck and yard provide ideal outdoor space for dining and entertaining, with convenient side-drive parking. Ideally located in the heart of The University of Chicago neighborhood, just steps from the main campus and both Laboratory School locations, this extraordinary home offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved and thoughtfully modernized piece of Hyde Park history.
