5439 S Drexel Ave., Chicago, IL 60615

This fantastic 5-bedroom, 4-full-bath Hyde Park home, with 2-car garage, was renovated from top to bottom in 2011 and is in pristine condition. The unusual location, adjacent to a small, child-friendly park, gives the home full east, south, and west exposures, meaning that it is flooded with natural light. The entry level features an open floor plan: the living room flows to the dining area and then to the amazing cook's kitchen, with custom cabinetry, soapstone counters, and high-end stainless appliances. As a bonus, the first floor also has a good-sized bedroom and full bath, great for visiting guests. The second floor features 3 additional bedrooms and 2 baths, including a spacious master suite with private bath (double vanity, soaking tub, separate shower) and abundant closet space. The full height lower level is completely finished with a family room, a fifth bedroom, a fourth full bath, and a full-sized laundry room. The 2011 rehab brought in all-new plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, new kitchen and baths, new windows, new doors and flooring. Central A/C. Two-car garage. Easy walking distance to the University of Chicago and public transportation. Note: current owners are not taking the Homeowners Exemption, so property taxes can be lower.
