Description

Located on a quiet, tree-lined block in the heart of The University of Chicago campus neighborhood, 5530 S Kimbark Avenue offers timeless architectural features paired with modern comfort. Set on a deep lot, the home showcases classic curb appeal with an inviting limestone facade, mature landscaping, and gracious proportions throughout. Inside, you'll find sun-drenched living spaces highlighted by generous ceiling heights, oversized windows, and beautifully preserved architectural details. The flowing open floor plan on the main level is ideal for both everyday living and elegant entertaining, with spacious formal and informal gathering areas, a thoughtfully designed kitchen, copious closet space, a powder room, and seamless indoor-outdoor connectivity. The upper level features three well-appointed bedrooms offering comfort and privacy, including a serene primary suite retreat. An additional flexible den/family room provides the perfect setting for a home office, library, TV room or guest accommodations. The lower level is a real bonus in this well-designed home. Recently fully renovated, it features a large bright recreation room and contemporary full bath, the perfect play area and/or additional overnight guest space. Outdoors, the landscaped yard offers a private oasis-ideal for relaxing, gardening, or hosting summer gatherings. The highly-desirable detached full 2-car garage with ample storage completes the property. Perfectly positioned near neighborhood shops, restaurants, parks, and public transportation, 5530 S. Kimbark Avenue is a rare opportunity to own a distinguished home in one of Chicago's most sought-after communities.
