Property Description

5638 South Woodlawn Avenue represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of Chicagos architectural heritage. Designed in 1911 by celebrated architect Howard Van Doren Shaw for publishing executive Henry Hoyt Hilton and his wife Charlotte, this three-story Federal-style residence embodies timeless elegance and thoughtful design. Shaw, later honored with the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal, was renowned for his refined use of symmetry, proportion, and classical detail-hallmarks clearly evident here. Meticulously restored and updated, the massive 8,000-square-foot home blends original grandeur with modern luxury. Historic details – majestic fireplaces, gleaming hardwood detailing, and an elegant main staircase-are complemented by a new chefs kitchen, renovated baths, a reimagined third-floor great room, as well as the practical including a spacious laundry. The lower level adds a workout room, media room, and abundant storage. With six bedrooms, five full ensuite baths, and three half baths, this residence offers both scale and versatility for modern living. Set in the heart of the University of Chicago community, this historic property is as livable as it is significant – a piece of architectural history, seamlessly blending Shaws timeless vision with contemporary elegance in one of Chicagos most celebrated neighborhoods.
