6530 South University, Chicago IL 60637
Property Description
I am pleased to introduce the Flemish House, the most exclusive single-family residence in Woodlawn. The Flemish House, built around 1888, is fully embellished and is a spectacular property adorned with a slate roof, cooper gutters, two wood-burning fireplaces and the largest yard in Woodlawn. It is registered as a historic home "having significant historical and architectural significance." Five bedrooms and four bathrooms across four levels, all situated on four professionally landscaped lots, offer a lifestyle unique only to this address, in Woodlawn. This home has been beautifully updated over the years while keeping the charm of the late 1800s. Brilliant hardwood floors seamlessly connect over 3,800 square feet together in an intimate manner. Crown molding trims the primary and third-floor levels. The stained glass, two woodburning fireplaces, two majestic skylights, three beautifully preserved staircases and Palladian-styled windows all remind you that you are enjoying the stately craftsmanship of the past. They just don't build homes like this anymore. Experience one of the most revered blocks in Woodlawn, where every single-family home was built on a double lot. It is unlikely that another home with over 12,600 square feet of land in an isolated location will exist in Woodlawn again and certainly not at this price point. The possibilities and the opportunities are endless. You're not only buying a fantastic home but a property that can accommodate your lifestyle.
