About this home
A Timeless Treasure in Kenwood - Where History Meets Modern Luxury. After a meticulous two-year renovation, this historic urban estate once again shines in all its grandeur - an extraordinary blend of early 20th-century elegance and contemporary design, nestled on an expansive 50 x 300-foot lot in the heart of the Kenwood Historic District. Originally built in 1904, J.B. Cole's residence was heralded by The Economist as "a picturesque structure in old English style of architecture," complete with ornamental iron doors, a sweeping circular staircase, and finely crafted finishes. Today, this architectural gem has been thoughtfully restored - honoring its storied past while seamlessly integrating the luxuries of modern living. Regal stone lions still guard the original iron doors, which open to a dramatic foyer showcasing a paneled fireplace, built-in seating, and intricate stained glass. A grand, sweeping staircase - illuminated by a period chandelier - sets the tone for the magnificence within. The main floor features reimagined open-concept formal living and dining areas, created by uniting the home's two original parlors. Pocket doors lead to a chef's dream kitchen, outfitted with stainless steel appliances, quartzite countertops, and generous space for banquette seating. French doors open to a sunroom with access to a large deck, overlooking a beautifully landscaped, fully fenced backyard. Upstairs, the curved main staircase (augmented by the original rear servants' stair) leads to a luxurious second floor anchored by the expansive primary suite - a private retreat featuring a custom walk-in closet, a marble-clad spa bath with a steam shower, and a sun-drenched, heated porch with views of the backyard oasis. Two additional bedrooms on this floor each include decorative fireplaces and share a tastefully updated bathroom. The third level offers two generously sized bedrooms, each with custom closets and en-suite baths with steam showers - ideal for guests or family members seeking extra privacy. Wide-plank wood floors and custom windows are found throughout, and the fully finished lower level is a home in itself. Heated with radiant flooring, this level features a spacious family/media room, a large laundry room, a fifth bedroom with walk-in closet, ample storage, and a wine cellar tucked beneath the front porch. Enhancing the property is a Coach House, complete with a four-car garage and a spacious one-bedroom apartment above - perfect for guests, extended family, or additional rental income. Ideally located near the University of Chicago, the Laboratory Schools, and all the dining, shopping, and cultural amenities the community has to offer - this is more than a home; it's a lifestyle. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Kenwood history - exquisitely reimagined for modern living. Welcome home!
