Beautiful, light filled, top floor apartment is a unique find with its original design influenced by Prairie School. Built in 1913 for 3 University of Chicago professors, it is ideally located in a peaceful corner of Hyde Park, just steps away from the Lab School and University of Chicago.

This true gem features many historic components that were preserved, including Roman brick fireplace, built-ins in the dining room and the kitchen, vintage woodwork and beautiful oak floors throughout. 2024 renovation included new bathroom, new laundry room in unit, updated kitchen with all new appliances, refinishing floors, new light fixtures, repairs and painting walls.
