Description
Don't miss this opportunity to purchase this desirable 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath E-1 Townhome, designed by renowned architect I.M. Pei around 1960. This home is in the Ray School District. These townhouses are highly desirable for their ease of maintenance, with 8 rooms on three levels that are above ground. The main level (2nd) has a sizable living room, dining room and a mid-century modern kitchen in remarkable condition. There are two balconies, located off the dining room and living room. The upper level (3rd) has a skylight, a sizable primary bedroom suite with full bath, two additional bedrooms and another full bath in the hallway. There is plenty of storage, including a large storage room tucked between the 2nd and 3rd floors. The lower level offers a fourth bedroom, laundry/utility room, half bath and a large family room that opens onto the back yard, fully enclosed with an attractive cedar privacy fence. One parking space in the back is assigned and there is a hook up for an electric car. This home has been a parsonage of a church for a number of years, so it is being sold "as is" and taxes are not listed as they were Exempt. It has been freshened up with new paint and the carpeting was removed to reveal the attractive hardwood floors on two levels. Tuckpointing was done in 2012 and lintels replaced in 2015. The age of the mechanicals and roof are not known, but the roof is checked yearly. The location is wonderful - across from Nichols Park and the HP Neighborhood Club and close to schools, shopping, dining, the Metra and the University of Chicago.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe Kenwood Academic Center was a fantastic place for our daughter. In addition to great academics, she got to perform at Symphony Hall with Jason Moran from the Kennedy Center and the Kenwood Marching Band. Truly a once in a lifetime experience.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDo not send your child to this school. The reputation Ray School has does not hold up to what it is today.Ignore the diversity you see on the playground. Ignore the Friends of Ray group. Ignore the Meet the Principal invites (DEFINITELY ignore this!)Instead imagine this: Imagine your child is slammed against a wall unprovoked by another child. Imagine your child being called racists names by another student. Imagine your child is jumped on school property at dismissal. Now imagine none of these children face any consequences and the victims have to look their attackers in the face the very next day. And the next day. And the next day. This is Ray. These are Ray stories. And one day it WILL be your child. There is a reason most decent families leave the school before middle school – it’s unsafe. Sadly the safety issues are now starting as young as second grade. And many of the parents are just as culpable as the principal who ignores the problem. None of them care until something happens to their child. I admit I was one of those parents, but at least I’m speaking out about it. The reviews on Great Schools do not reflect even 1% of what happens at Ray. Most parents take their children and leave quietly, doing a huge disservice to the children left behind. Very few are willing to stand up to the culture, to the principal, to other parents. I doubt my review will turn most people away from this school. White parents espousing Ray as a “good school” is hard to ignore in a school system where most schools are failing and reading and math scores are woefully behind. But if I can reach just one family, if I can save just one child from enduring what my child and many others have endured at Ray, I will feel I have done something more than look the other way like most Ray parents. Keep looking. Ray is not where you want to send your child. Your child deserves better.Parent Review5mo ago
