About this home
A rare offering in the vibrant Hyde Park Kenwood neighborhood, 4856 S Cornell presents an exceptional blend of comfort, sophistication, and convenience. Nestled within the sought-after Cornell Square community, this four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom single-family residence with two-car garage enjoys partial lake views and a thoughtfully designed floor plan that balances everyday functionality with refined living. Upon entry, gleaming hardwood floors extend across the main and second levels. The wood burning fireplace and mantel ensure a warm glow on cold winter nights. The updated kitchen serves as the heart of the home, showcasing custom finishes and elegant design details that make both everyday cooking and entertaining a pleasure. Neutral paint and white Hunter Douglas shades throughout give this beautiful home a cohesive, modern look. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with a recently renovated spa-inspired bathroom designed to elevate daily routines into moments of quiet luxury. The beautifully finished lower level expands the home's living space, featuring recently installed carpeting, a fourth bedroom with ensuite bathroom perfect for guests or a nanny, and a flexible area well suited for a media lounge, home gym, or playroom. Outdoor living is equally inviting. The spacious backyard provides an ideal setting for summer gatherings or a private area for pets to roam. Just down the street, Burnham Park offers immediate access to the lakefront along with baseball fields, playgrounds, and scenic green space. Whether commuting to the University of Chicago, exploring Hyde Park's vibrant cultural and dining scene, or heading downtown, residents enjoy convenient university shuttle service, easy access to public transportation, and seamless access to the city.
