Considered one of Hyde Park's finest examples of 19th century residential architecture, this imposing 3-story brick home, designed in the Italianate style, is truly one-of-a-kind. Built for the Hoyt family in 1869, just as the nation was emerging from the Civil War, the current structure retains many of its glorious original features, including 15-foot ceilings on the main level, oversized windows and doors, four original marble fireplaces, and a graceful sweeping staircase to the second floor. Meticulously and thoughtfully rehabbed by its current owners, this beautiful 5-bedroom, 5-full-bath home now has a sleek modern kitchen, stylish contemporary baths, as well as all-new systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), and a new roof. Gracious elegant rooms for entertaining on the first floor, four bedrooms and three baths on the second, and a bedroom, a bath, and a family room on the third. Note the substantial room sizes on all three levels. Spacious deck and yard are perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. Parking on the side drive. Located in the heart of The University of Chicago neighborhood, just steps from the main campus and both Laboratory School locations.
