Time to sell - a significant price adjustment presents the opportunity to own an extraordinary piece of Hyde Park history. Nestled beneath the steep slate roof of this enchanting Tudor residence are seven bedrooms and two full baths, offering an exceptional blend of historic character, architectural pedigree, and remarkable flexibility. Set on an oversized professionally landscaped lot with a three-car garage, the home is ideally located 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, 5309 is part of an intimate and picturesque enclave of four architecturally significant homes. Originally commissioned as the residence of noted physicist Charles Riborg Mann, the property carries a rich legacy of intellectual and architectural importance. Inside period craftsmanship remains beautifully intact, including leaded glass windows, decorative fireplaces, built-in bookcases, rich hardwood floors, and graciously scaled rooms thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and elegant entertaining. The home's flexible floor plan offers exceptional versatility while preserving the warmth and romance of a bygone era. Featured in Crain's Chicago Business, this remarkable residence awaits its next steward - an owner with vision and appreciation for historic architecture, ready to thoughtfully enhance and preserve one of Hyde Park's truly special homes while writing the next chapter in its storied history.
