5451 S Hyde Park Blvd. #3N, Chicago, IL 60615

This 1907 apartment building is the work of Emil Frommann and Emil Jebson - the architects of a number of buildings in Wicker Park and Pullman, many of them Schlitz owned corner taverns. The six-flat presents an exuberant mix of styles, and Chicago artist Roland Kulla restored this third floor condominium to its original splendor. The first thing that strikes you about the apartment is the dazzling woodwork. And there are abundant choices of space to enjoy; an inglenook with copper hooded fireplace, large parlor with molded plaster relief ceilings, pocket doors of a sitting room, a tiger-striped fumed oak dining room, and miraculously, the original bathrooms with nickel-plated accessories. Sunlight streams through art glass windows, their details repeated throughout in built-in cabinetry. It is a glorious space, built for people who chose to live in an apartment but wanted the feel of a house - large, accommodating and made with finest materials. Truly, the best of Hyde Park living!
