Description

Welcome to one of Kenwood's most prominent houses 4935 S. Greenwood Avenue, originally known as the "Turner Residence," this home was designed in 1888 by the renowned architect Solon Spencer Beman, best known for the Chicago Fine Arts Building, Grand Central Station and the Pullman Community. This stone and brick mansion was originally constructed for a merchant of dry-goods, Edward H Turner (1847-1900) and was later owned by Adolphus W Green (1843-1917), co-founder of Nabisco, National Biscuit Company. This unique home combines multiple architectural styles including a prominent Queen Anne 2-story turret, that inspired other architects building in the Kenwood area at that time.The colonnaded classical entrance comes with bracketed eaves and a classical large round veranda. Elegant entrance, including original mosaic floor, leads into a grand entry hall, round family/music room and stately living room flowing into beautiful dining room that opens to the sun room/porch through set of large glass doors. Both, dining and living rooms feature impressive, original, marble fireplaces. Oversized kitchen, with opening to the dining room and access to the backyard features modernized fireplace. Above, on two floors there are 7 bedrooms, 2 ensuite and additional 3 full baths. On the second floor one finds an elegant, yet warm and inviting wood (mahogany) paneled library that features a whimsical fireplace with carved heads, beautiful built-ins, decorative ceiling and one-of-a-kind glass doors. The library opens to a large 4 season porch/sun room. Much of the original features are still in place and include a secret passageway, alcoves, priceless woodwork including rare carvings in the library mantel, tile art in the master bath complete with hidden shower, marble fireplaces, an original panel rumored to be painted by artist Aaron Bohrod, ballroom with elevated views, wainscoting throughout, original built-ins shelves and glass cabinets, dumbwaiter structure, brass call buttons, original light fixtures, original doors, original toilets with gold leaf, original pulls and handles, clawfoot tub, marble sinks, original porcelain tiles, leaded glass windows, and more. The house requires substantial renovation and it is sold "as is" Property includes a large backyard (57 x200) that can accommodate 2-car garage. Access to the back of the property is through a shared driveway. The coach house is a separate property and does not belong to 4935 S Greenwood Ave.This unique property offers an opportunity to restore and own an important piece of Chicago's history.
