A rare piece of Chicago's history, the Thompson House at 915 N. Dearborn stands as one of the Gold Coast's original architectural treasures. Designed in 1888 by Cobb & Frost, the renowned architects behind the Newberry Library and University of Chicago, this grand residence was among the first to define the Gold Coast neighborhood after the Great Chicago Fire. For the next century, it was owned and used by the Scottish Rite. The property was meticulously restored by its current owner beginning in 2009, blending 19th-century grandeur with modern luxury. The Thompson House is now a nationally registered Historic Landmark. This masterpiece preserves its rich past while offering a remarkably livable floor plan where history, elegance, and everyday comfort coexist effortlessly. Constructed from refurbished exterior sgraffito walls and granite mosaic, this 5-bedroom, 4.2-bathroom home spans 13,400 square feet, with an additional 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom carriage house above the 3-car garage. This home showcases exceptional craftsmanship with one-of-a-kind finishes and details throughout. Some of the elements include a refurbished original mosaic floor, custom millwork, hand-carved marble fireplaces from Italy, and custom stained glass. Throughout the home, all wood features, including beams, doors, and trim, are custom made from solid Honduras Mahogany, with intricate touches such as paneling and carving. The staircase, also Honduras Mahogany, was hand crafted to mimic the home's original balusters. Modern features include an elevator servicing all levels, a Control4 system, integrated audio and speaker systems, smart HVAC controls, and full smart home capabilities, making this home as functional as it is beautiful. Enter the home to a large parlor paneled in mahogany. The details greet you right away - hand carved columns, custom stained glass windows and doors, marble floors imported from Turkey, and a hand carved marble fireplace. The adjacent great room is full of natural light from the large, curved windows and south and west exposures. The great room has earned its name sake with a Swarovski crystal chandelier, a hand-carved, book-matched onyx fireplace from Pakistan, and exquisite mahogany woodwork with in-wall cabinetry. Silk wall coverings and marble flooring add to the grandeur. On the opposite side of the foyer you will find the kitchen overlooking the walled courtyard with fountains and fireplace. The kitchen area features two dining areas, high-end appliances, a large island, custom cabinetry, and a laundry room tucked away. The second level landing showcases a stunning library framed by an intricate hand carved arch. You will also see the custom stained glass dome skylight up above. The second floor features the luxurious primary suite, complete with a wet bar, and en-suite bath, and a second bedroom or office with an en-suite bath. You will also find a screened in 3-season porch. On the top floor, there is a sitting room, three additional bedrooms, including two rooms sharing a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, and a third large bedroom with its own en-suite bath. The lower level is designed for relaxation and entertainment, featuring two seating areas, a bar, and a spa. The media area includes a hand-carved Italian Botticino marble fireplace and marble floors with bronze inlay. The galley bar offers an in-wall wine display, and the spa features a sauna, jacuzzi, steam suite, spa dressing rooms, a massage and zen room, and an additional laundry area. A Murano glass mural with an integrated waterfall and glass-blown ceilings add unique artistic elements rarely found in modern homes. Across the courtyard, you will find the cozy coach house, perfect for guests or additional living space. The home includes a heated 3-car garage. The Thompson House is more than just a home; it's a timeless work of art that embodies elegance, craftsmanship, and luxury living in the heart of Chicago.

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.

650 N Ridgeway Avenue, Chicago

$625,000

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.

This is the opportunity of the year to purchase a mid-century IM Pei E1 row house in close to original condition aggressively priced to reflect a new owner doing substantial work to bring it to 2024 finish. On the University of Chicago campus, it is a terrific location across from the lovely Nichols Park with playgrounds, tennis courts, dog friendly areas and just a lovely place to hang out in all sorts of weather. There is a dedicated parking spot out back, although there is often street parking right out front. A protected bike lane on 55th will get you to the lakefront in minutes if you like to pedal. Trader Joes and Walgreens are down the street and you are surrounded by restaurants at every turn. The house itself is a classic E1 with hardwood floors on the main and third level and hardwood stairs edged by the vertical wood balustrades on the main floor and iron balustrades above. The sunny kitchen has original wood cabinets, the original harvest gold double oven which is currently inoperable, as are the dishwasher, cooktop and vent fan above it. The refrigerator works. The hot water heater and A/C are working well and the roof has had no leaks. Several of the ceilings have been redone. The primary bedroom with ensuite bath extends the entire width of the house with room for the king size bed as well as two closets. The other two bedrooms are flooded with south sunshine all day long. Below them, the dining room and kitchen share the sliding glass doors to the south facing balcony. There was carpeting covering the entire main level for many years which was recently removed to reveal hardwood floors in very good shape. Having all the floors and stairs refinished would bring them back to like-new condition. On the lower level, the owners historically worked from home years before it became the rage in 2020. They worked in their respective offices, so they built a corridor to the back door and enclosed what customarily would be the open family room in the back. One could keep them as separate closed rooms or open the rear one up to its original configuration. In the last many years, the owner was confined to this floor. Luckily the back room is filled with light overlooking the backyard which has a gazebo deck. The washer and dryer were moved out of the utility room into the closet of the front bedroom. The HVAC and hot water heater were enclosed by glass sliding doors and a large roll-in tiled shower was installed. There are no steps into the house from the parking in the back, so the lower level is wheelchair accessible. After rehab, the house will have great value because these are homes that people love to settle into and rarely leave. The perfect location with the Ray School, the Murray School, the Lab School and St. Thomas schools all close by as well as the Hyde Park Neighborhood Center right across the street. And of course, in this most walkable of neighborhoods, all of buildings of the University are just a short walk or roll away. This is, emphatically, an AS-IS sale. Assume that you will have to do everything and then be surprised when you don't.

The Hutchinson Street Historic District is well-known and long-admired for its rich history, storied architecture, and lush landscapes. This house is no exception. Built in 1913 for Edward L. Thornton, Vice President of the John E. Burns Lumber Company. Thornton wanted to bring a little bit of his "west coast" roots to Buena Park (which, at the turn of the century, was a lakefront oasis for Chicago's most notable names). Thornton commissioned architect Leon F. Urbain (later known as the father of "tongue and groove" hardwood floors in 1927) to design this Spanish Mission style home, a design then-popular in California. The house was met with criticism from neighbors concerned about the home's stucco facade, where the rest of Hutchinson Street was comprised of mostly all-brick homes. Urbain brilliantly incorporated elements of Prairie and Craftsman influences into the design, such as a porte cochere with sleeping porch above, second story planter box, and side-entrance front door to give the illusion of privacy, like many other homes on Hutchinson Street. The facade is so important that in 2002, a facade easement agreement was granted by Landmarks Illinois to ensure this masterpiece will retain its character for generations to come***! Through the large arched front door entrance is the grand foyer, with natural light pouring in from the large windows in the living room, dining room, and landing atop the sweeping staircase. The grand yet cozy formal living room features an incredible marble fireplace, and could be broken up into several seating areas for entertaining. The tall arched windows of this room are the central focus of the house, both inside and out. A square formal dining room is perfect for large dinner parties and holidays, or could be more casual with a round-top table. The kitchen is fully equipped with 42" cabinetry, Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, and center island. The breakfast nook features great storage space under the seating, and leads to a tranquil, beautifully landscaped patio with a fire pit. The upstairs floor plan is truly unique for Chicago. Four bedrooms all on the same floor, plus a den/library/office that could easily be used as a 5th bedroom, if needed. The primary suite has two walk-in closets w/updated closet organizers, an updated en suite bathroom with walk-in shower and jetted tub. Two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom, one of the bedrooms leads to a sitting rm (used to be the sleeping porch over the porte cochere). Another guest bedroom has its own en suite bathroom (was likely a servant's quarters when built). At the back of the house is the den/library/office with built-in floor-to-ceiling bookcases, and wall-to-wall windows on east and west sides of the room--great for enjoying morning light and sunsets. The walk-up attic isn't quite tall enough to be finished into living space, but is perfect for additional storage space! The finished basement rec room is a great space to escape to for movie night or video games, and has a recently updated wet bar, along with a powder room, large storage space/mechanical room, and cellar access to the backyard. The house sits in the middle of Buena Park, known for "Good Living By the Lake". Lakefront bike path and beach access is right at the end of the street, plus a plethora of public transit options (CTA 146 and 148 express buses are on each ends of the blocks, plus several other CTA bus and train options nearby). Two blocks to Jewel, Target, Aldi, & dinner options like Bar on Buena & The Reservoir! Easy access to Lake Shore Drive (you can be on the drive in less than 3 mins) & a quick drive to downtown! It's no wonder this house has had so few owners, and why homes like these are a once-in-a-generation opportunity. This house awaits the next owner to write its next chapter. ***Facade Easement Agreement is available for review and only protects the south, east and west exterior elevations. The interior is not historically landmarked.***
