Property Description

Experience the charm of Rycroft, a historically significant Bronzeville mansion, by being the first to occupy its newly renovated first-floor residence. This expansive 2,100 sq ft flat was the original main living floor, and exhibits stunning period millwork, high ceilings with plaster crown mouldings, walls of built-in cabinetry, stained glass, hardwood floors and other vintage elements. Originally designed by architect Asbury Buckley as a residence for the Rycroft family in 1903, the single-family home was converted to apartments in the 1920s. A years-long renovation and restoration project has just been completed, skillfully incorporating modern comforts while preserving the warmth and soul 122 years in the making. Enjoy all new amenities amongst the antique details in this bright and airy unit with sunny exposures, high ceilings, and large bay windows. A wide and expansive floor-plan provides palatial living areas and two en-suite king-sized bedrooms. A third bedroom has access to the third full bathroom and would also make a sunny office or studio. The show-stopping kitchen centers on a stunning quartz-topped 10-foot entertaining island with an L-shaped seating area against the backdrop of original walnut high-paneled wainscoting, a built-in mirrored buffet cabinet, and beamed ceiling. Bespoke black steel appliances include a smart induction range and Whisper Quiet dishwasher. Benefit from additional energy-efficient features such as a 4-zone state-of-the-art minisplit heating and cooling system, LED lighting, and a high-efficiency electric water heater. A generous mudroom incorporates a laundry area with an all-in-one washer/dryer, large utility sink, and plenty of room for coat and boot storage. Enjoy outdoor living on your private deck or common courtyard patio area. A large 120 sq ft private cellar storage area is accessible from the unit, with additional shared bike storage in the basement. Garage parking is under construction and will become available for additional rent, while street parking is easy and plentiful on a tranquil low-traffic block. Only two unique units remain, so hurry to lock in your selection. Why settle for bland, cookie-cutter new construction when you can call this historic one-of-a-kind place your home? Prime Location: Situated in the heart of Bronzeville, this area offers easy access to the Loop, lakefront, Hyde Park, and the University of Chicago's campus and hospital via car, bike, or public transport. Nearby Attractions: Just steps away from the Chicago Blues Entertainment District, the Bronzeville Farmers Market at The Sanctuary, Armstrong Park, Harold Washington Cultural Center, and historic landmarks like the birthplace of gospel music and Louis Armstrong's residence. Convenient Access: A quick six-minute drive leads to Lakeshore Drive and beach parking, or the University of Chicago and Hyde Park's dining and entertainment. Another six minutes up Lakeshore Drive takes you directly to the Loop business district.
