This beautifully renovated home was a part of Hyde Park's first planned community, built way back in the 1880s, and then known as Rosalie Villas. To this day Harper Avenue remains one of the neighborhood's most special and coveted locations. When the current owners purchased 5740, the house needed complete renovation. The planning was undertaken thoughtfully, preserving the character of 19th century details while upgrading the house for modern living. After taking the interior down to the studs, the house now offers all new electrical and plumbing, new windows, zoned air conditioning and forced-air heating, new oak flooring throughout, new bathrooms, large walk-in closets, a chef's kitchen, main level powder room, and fully finished lower level. The front door opens into the foyer where one is immediately impressed with spaciousness; this is a warm and welcoming house with an open floor plan that defies its age. Light fills the living and adjacent dining room, that flow into the large chef's kitchen, enhanced by a family room and breakfast area overlooking the verdant back yard. Moving up the beautifully detailed staircase accented by original stained glass, one enters a spacious hallway with built-in bookshelves that provides a welcoming landing to three bedrooms and two luxurious full baths on this, the second level. The entire third floor has been transformed from an attic/maid's quarters into handsomely finished space, with two bedrooms and a full bath. Heading downstairs, the lower level was recently completed and offers a family room, storage, a laundry room (washer/dryer also on the second level), and a full bath. And the property offers a rarity on the block, a garage. Located a short walk from the University of Chicago, the Laboratory Schools and all Hyde Park has to offer......! And now just a bit of background history. Remarkably, nearly all the Queen Anne and shingle-style homes on Harper are still standing nearly a century and a half after completion. Years before the founding of the University of Chicago, the development was established by Rosalie Buckingham, a wealthy heiress whose name Chicagoans will likely recognize from Buckingham Fountain in Grant Park, named for Rosalie's cousin. In 1883, she acquired two city blocks in rapidly expanding Hyde Park Township, which was then still a separate suburb. Solon S. Beman, who had just designed Chicago's most famous planned community Pullman, was hired to oversee a plan for 42 houses for her. We do not know the architect of 5740 Rosalie Court, but early records list attorney Henry Thurston Chace as the home's fist resident. All of this is to say .... today Harper Avenue remains a very, very special place.

This charming home was a part of Hyde Park's first planned community, built way back in the 1880s and then known as Rosalie Villas. To this day, Harper Avenue remains one of Hyde Park's most special and coveted locations. When the current owners purchased 5724, the house has been in the hands of the same family for the forty-two years. They then undertook a thoughtful renovation, preserving the character of 19th century details while upgrading the house for modern living. With new electrical, zoned air conditioning, new hot water heater, water filtration system, new bathroom, new flooring and lighting, and a completion of the entire third level (formerly an unfinished attic) - the house has been beautifully updated. The large front porch opens into the foyer, where one is immediately impressed with spaciousness. This is a warm and welcoming house, with an open floor plan that defies its age. Light fills the living and family rooms; a lovely separate dining room, large kitchen with pantry, breakfast room and powder room complete this level. The breakfast room opens to a deck that overlooks the lush back yard. Moving up the beautifully detailed staircase, there are four bedrooms that can be used in a variety of ways, and two full baths. From there one sees a remarkable transformation - the entire third level has been renovated into handsomely finished flexible space. The open area is accented by two smaller rooms and under the eaves is a charming space to relax. Heading downstairs, the lower level is a work in progress but offers all new windows, storage, a laundry room with new washer/dryer and full size freezer, and the space is plumbed for a full bath. The owners are offering a home warranty plan for all appliances. And the property offers a rarity on the block, a large two-car garage. Located a short walk from the University of Chicago, the Laboratory Schools and all Hyde Park has to offer. And now just a bit of background history. Remarkably, nearly all of the Queen Anne and shingle-style homes on Harper are still standing nearly a century and a half later. Years before the founding of the University of Chicago, the development was established by Rosalie Buckingham, a wealthy heiress whose name Chicagoans will likely recognize from Buckingham Fountain in Grant Park, named for Rosalie's cousin. As she neared the age of twenty-five, Rosalie decided to become a property developer in the rapidly expanding Hyde Park Township, which was then still a separate suburb. In 1883, she acquired two city blocks from 57th Street to 59th Street near the Illinois Central tracks and hired Solon S. Beman, who had just designed Chicago's most famous planned community Pullman, to oversee a plan for her land. Beman provided the overall vision and there were rules that homeowners and other architects had to follow for each of the 42 houses. This led to the continuity of size and style of homes visible and appreciated to this day. We do not know the architect of 5724 Rosalie Court, but early records list attorney Addison Beardsley as the resident. All of this is to say .... 5724 Harper is one very special place.

Mid Century Modern living at its best. Completely updated townhome in the Common Corporation Townhouse enclave that was built in 1965 designed by a Harry Weese acolyte, Ezra Gordon. It is nestled right behind the Kimbark Plaza which boasts restaurants, shops, a CVS and the famed Hyde Park Produce store. Some of the homes face Kimbark, but this house faces south to the mature tree filled private walled courtyard. Freshly painted, it has a cool, open 60's feel with gleaming hardwood floors on both the main level, stairs and the upper level. The staircase is an architectural focal point encased in vertical oak planking rising from floor to ceiling in the living room. A major renovation in 2021 brought this house to the new century standard. The dining room chandelier is a recent installation and will stay with the house. The kitchen has white painted wooden shaker cabinets, black stainless appliances including the dishwasher and refrigerator which are new from 2023, a vented hood, white quartz counters with a marbled design, subway tiled backsplash and porcelain plank tiles on the floor. The kitchen has plenty of room for a table and chairs with views through the windows to the private walled patio and garden. The baths were also renovated with new fixtures and vanities as well as porcelain plank tiled floors. New copper plumbing and new electrical wiring were installed in 2021 as well as a hard-wired security system. The windows are all replacements. Recessed lights are in the living room, kitchen and the finished recreation room in the basement. The basement also has an unfinished room for the laundry (including a laundry chute), HVAC, a workbench and lots of storage. The private back yard is completely fenced and has a brick patio, a grassy area, raised planters and a beautiful tree. The HVAC system also dates from 2021 and the roof was replaced in 2019. An assigned parking space is in the parking lot accessed from the east on 52nd St and there is street parking as well. When you are in the house with views of trees through all of the windows, it is hard to believe that you are so close to all of the vibrant shops and restaurants that line 53rd St. It's an easy walk or roll to the University of Chicago, the Museum of Science and Industry and the lakefront. Everyone is eagerly awaiting the opening of the Barack Obama Center which promises not only wonderful programming, but also parks with activities surrounding it. Buses run up and down Hyde Park Boulevard just a block and a half to the north and the express bus to the Loop and the Metra are a few blocks to the east. It's a terrific home in a terrific location.
