Property Description

Welcome to 1311 East 55th Street, a Mid-Century "E" Townhouse designed in the 1960s by renowned architects I. M. Pei and Harry Weese. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Hyde Park, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence seamlessly blends architectural heritage with sophisticated, modern updates-all within easy walking distance to the lakefront, shopping, transportation, and the University of Chicago. The home was completely gutted and meticulously renovated in 2015, with upgrades including new plumbing stacks, new electric, European-style bathrooms with quartz walls and Grohe fixtures, new stairways, new windows throughout, and essential systems like a new roof, water heater, furnace, and AC. The high-end kitchen features sleek finishes, ample drawer and storage space, an induction range, and top-tier appliances (Liebherr refrigerator, Fisher Paykal oven). Additional highlights include a renovated family room and office, a new utility room with washer and dryer, and refinished hardwood floors throughout. The current owner has carefully restored the home's original mid-century character, honoring the trademark light, efficiency, and comfort of I. M. Pei's design. Buyers will enjoy tree-lined views of Nichols Park and the fountain just across the street, a large, sunny, peaceful patio paved with bluestone, generous storage, and one dedicated parking space. This is a rare opportunity to own an architecturally significant home that offers both modern convenience and timeless design in one of Chicago's most beloved neighborhoods.
