5346 S Drexel Ave., Chicago, IL 60615

This just painted Hyde Park 1888 grey stone house retains the best of vintage details -- high ceilings, hardwood floors, original trim, a handsome staircase -- but is beautifully updated to meet the demands of today. The living room flows into a lovely parlor opening onto the formal dining room and leads to the kitchen. The updated gourmet kitchen, designed with stainless appliances and granite counters includes a large island. On the second level the master bedroom is en-suite with walk in closet and beautiful updated master bath. Two bedrooms share an updated bath with whirlpool tub. The fully finished and totally rehabbed basement provides added living space: a large bedroom, a huge family room with built-in cabinetry and desk, a wet-bar/kitchenette with two beverage refrigerators, a full bath and laundry. The fully fenced back yard has a huge deck, a garden and an over-sized one car garage. Location is the best - only steps to shopping, transportation and the University of Chicago.
