4819 S GREENWOOD AVE Chicago, IL 60615

SOLD BEFORE IT WAS TOLD! Situated on approx 3/4 of an acre, with a grove of mature oak trees in the front yard and a tennis court in the back, this home represents Kenwood's finest. The Georgian-style structure was built in 1904 for Joseph Schaffner, of Hart Schaffner and Marx Clothiers fame. It was designed and constructed by Holabird & Roche Architects, the firm associated with notable buildings in Chicago, including the Board of Trade, Palmer House, Cook County Court House and Soldier Field. The nearly 10,000 square foot home, with steel post & beam and masonry construction, was fully renovated in 2011 with all new windows, mechanicals, plumbing, wiring, kitchen and bathrooms. Arranged around a gracious center hall, the first floor features a formal living room, front parlor, dining room, four-season sun room, center island kitchen with butler pantry, breakfast room, half bath and generous mud room. Additionally, there are five ++bedrooms, five full bathrooms (two w/steam showers), his and her's office/library rooms, second floor laundry, third floor ball room, a fully finished basement and eight fireplaces. In back, besides the tennis court, is a four car tandem garage and a large patio with gas grill. Set almost 140 feet back from the street, the home, in a neighborhood of exceptional homes, is exceptionally unique for its spacious grounds and privacy. It is the perfect home for both family living and grand entertaining!
