Nestled beneath the steep eaves of this enchanting residence are seven bedrooms and two full baths, offering an exceptional blend of historic character and modern practicality. Set on a large, professionally landscaped lot with a three-car garage, the Tudor-style home is just a short walk from the main campus of the University of Chicago. Designed in 1904 by the distinguished New York architectural firm Mann, MacNeille & Lindeberg, this picturesque enclave of four homes includes 5309, originally built as the residence of physicist Charles Riborg Mann. Rich in architectural heritage, the home retains many exquisite period details, including stone fireplaces, built-in bookcases, leaded glass windows, hardwood floors, and a gracious, thoughtfully designed layout that reflects the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Featured in Crain's Chicago Business, this remarkable property awaits its next steward-an owner ready to thoughtfully update and enhance the home while preserving its architectural integrity, writing the next chapter of its extraordinary history.
