Property Description
Classic splendor awaits the discerning resident in the Historic Landmark block of Washington Park Court! This turn-of-the-century Chicagoland gem stands out with its gorgeous limestone facade and architectural detail. Built in the late 1800s, the 2,832+/- square foot single-family home exudes character and elegance with its original woodwork throughout, beautiful hardwood floors, airy ceilings, 3 wood-burning fireplaces, an original pier mirror, original intact pocket doors for privacy, and a built-in bench in the foyer to take your footwear on and off. With 4 bedrooms, 2.1 baths, and 4 stories including an unfinished basement, the layout and potential of this offering are incredible! This is a rare opportunity for anyone who loves old-world charm to restore this special residence and make it their own. Imagine the grandness you'll enjoy, met by a custom modernization that will truly set the house apart from anything else available. On the gracious main level, a spacious living room with bayed windows and adjoining dining area with a striking fireplace and built-in breakfront set the tone for entertaining. The large kitchen sits nearby for easy serving, as does a convenient powder room for guests. From the kitchen, you can access the wonderful 22'x16' deck for outdoor parties and pleasure. The second story is quite inviting as the sleeping quarters. Your generous primary bedroom sits up front with its own fireplace, expansive closets, and a sizable en-suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms with ample closets also occupy this level, as does a full hallway bath and lovely 2nd floor reader deck. The top floor presents what could be used as another bedroom or a multipurpose bonus room, that allows you to enjoy the rooftop. The unfinished basement is an exceptional perk which can be a recreation room and media/great room, featuring closets, storage and utility rooms as well. Other highlights are 2 hot water tanks and a new boiler. Set on a historic block in the city that's only 2 blocks long, 4905 S Washington Park Court is an exclusive address. Property being sold as is. The excellent location on a prime corner lot is close to Ryan Expressway and Lake Shore Drive, and just 1 block east of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.
