Description
With its curved brick facade and welcoming front porch, 5402 S University belongs to the Victorian streetscape that gives Hyde Park much of its character. Designed by Milton S. Eichberg, this four-bedroom home dates to the neighborhood's World's Fair era, when Chicago's South Side captured the world's attention. Inside, high ceilings, tall windows and hardwood floors create an easy sense of space. A handsome wood staircase anchors the main level, where generous living and dining rooms connect through a broad arched opening. A wall of built-in bookshelves gives the adjoining sitting area the feel of a home library, with room for reading, conversation or a desk. The kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a walk-in pantry. Just beyond the dining room, a heated, window-lined heated three-season room provides a quiet place to begin or end the day. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a spacious front bedroom following the curve of the bay, while a clawfoot tub adds a touch of period character. Outside, established plantings frame a stone courtyard for dining and gardening. A detached one-car garage and full unfinished basement with yard access provide practical space, storage, and significant potential for additional living space. The University of Chicago and the shops and restaurants of 53rd Street are close by, placing everyday conveniences within the rhythm of an unmistakably Hyde Park setting.
