About this home
A rare opportunity to acquire a light-filled 1,500 square foot, three bedroom, one and a half bath residence within a prestigious, 3-unit Chicago Landmark. The Keck-Gottschalk-Keck Building was designed by the renowned Keck brothers and served as their personal residences. This iconic 1937 building is one of the city's earliest and most celebrated examples of International Style modernism, earning recognition by Chicago Magazine as one of its Top 50 Buildings. The Keck's commitment to innovation is evident in the distinctive external blinds, which allow the control of light and privacy while embracing the home's historical passive solar design. The 4th-story condo offers a unique living experience with a coveted four-sided exposure, ensuring optimal light throughout the day. It features original Keck-designed built-ins throughout the living room, dining room, and bedrooms, complementing the building's modern aesthetic and maximizing functional space. The unit has exclusive roof rights for future potential, in-unit combination washer/dryer, a dedicated ground-level storage space, access to a common workshop and laundry space, an attached garage space with a Tesla charger, and a private 7' x 27' terrace, overlooking a large, shared rear yard. The Hyde Park lifestyle awaits with its cultural amenities and easy access to Lake Michigan. Directly adjacent to the University of Chicago campus, the home offers residents a unique, rich environment with a strong academic and community atmosphere.
