In the late 1930s construction began on a row of sophisticated homes facing one of the Chicago Park system's crown jewels, Hollywood Park. There are only nine such exceptional properties and this one is on the market for the first time in 30 years. Freshly painted, updated, and lovingly maintained, the private residence at 5936 North Christiana spans nearly the full 60' feet of its double-lot frontage, with a perennial garden at the north end, and a paved drive to the attached garage at the south. Inside, the grand staircase draws light into an elegant foyer, the formal living room with WBFP, and the adjacent library. The dining room enjoys a north wall with preserved glass block windows, and opens via French doors to an exquisite west-facing sunroom, with sliders to the garden. The expansive kitchen features a greenhouse window, prep sink, double-oven, cooktop, SubZero refrigerator, dining bar, built-in work/study space, tons of cabs, pantry, and opens to a charming family room. Upstairs the primary bedroom features two separate closets with fitted organizers, French doors to outdoor space, ensuite bath with original marble surrounds, separate tub and shower, period-preserved trim and lighting. Two additional bedrooms complete the upstairs gallery, along with a shared 'jack-and-jill' bath, walk-in cedar closet, built-in storage and shelving, and additional outdoor access. The finished basement includes a generous recreation room with second WBFP, wet-bar, vintage lighting, and powder room, plus laundry, utility, storage, and tool rooms. You don't have to leave the city to enjoy phenomenal outdoor space, because the fully fenced west garden features a generous deck, separate dining patio, perennial floral beds, trees, shrubs, grotto, and raised vegetable beds. East-facing views are of a lush 7+ acre park with tennis courts, play space, and mature trees. GFA/CA, 220AMP Electrical. Level 1+ Peterson Elementary school district. 10 mins to 90/94, LSD, Brown Line at Kimball. A truly remarkable place to call home and your chance to own a piece of Chicago history.
