4424 S. University Ave | North Kenwood's Best-Kept Secret Tucked into one of North Kenwood's most storied blocks, this rehabbed vintage duplex offers a rare chance to live inside a piece of Chicago history - reimagined for the way people live today. Just steps from Lake Michigan and minutes from Lake Shore Drive, the location places you at the crossroads of Kenwood, Hyde Park, and Bronzeville - three neighborhoods known for their architecture, culture, and community. The home itself sits on a quiet, one-way residential street directly across from Kennicott Park, lined with classic North Kenwood townhomes and framed by an unobstructed park view right outside your door. Step inside Unit 1 and the scale is immediately felt: soaring ceilings, exposed brick, and abundant natural light pour through a thoughtfully laid-out, approximately 1,900-square-foot floorplan. Two original fireplaces anchor the living spaces, while generous living and dining rooms create the kind of flow made for both quiet nights in and entertaining. Two spacious bedrooms round out a home that feels equal parts historic and livable. Modern comforts are woven in throughout - a stainless-steel kitchen with dishwasher and microwave, in-unit washer/dryer, central air, and updated mechanicals. The building itself has been meticulously maintained, with new windows, a rebuilt front porch, a brand-new back porch, and a freshly paved parking space in the back - plus ample street parking for guests. This is vintage Chicago living, done right: soulful, spacious, and steps from the lake. *Available for lease. Contact us today for more details or to schedule a private showing.*

BRONZEVILLE
About Bronzeville
Head a little south of downtown and you'll find Chicago's
historic Bronzeville neighborhood. Home of the Bud Billikin Day
Parade, the U.S.' second largest annual parade, as well as a
plethora of other important events for the trajectory of black
history. Located south of Chinatown, along the shores of Lake
Michigan, Bronzeville apartments lie mostly within the bounds of
the Douglas and partially within the Grand Boulevard community
area. U.S. Cellular Field, home of the Chicago White Sox, is on the
boundary of Bronzeville, and the IIT campus is located within it.
The CTA's Red and Green line 'L' trains serve Bronzeville.
Apartment Snapshot
Bronzeville residents are predominantly renters in mid to
high-rise complexes with 50 or more apartments. Renters seeking an
apartment can expect to pay upwards of $1,000 to $1,500 for an
apartment close to IIT with nice amenities.
