About this home
Welcome to 5626 South Woodlawn Avenue - a gracious and architecturally significant residence nested within the University of Chicago campus in Hyde Park, one of Chicago's most historic and vibrant communities. One of two houses designed in 1911 by the esteemed firm of Riddle & Riddle - this was personal home of architect Herbert Riddle. Crafted with a distinctly French elegance, the remarkable entrance canopy evokes Hector Guimard's iconic Paris Metro stations. Gracefully arched windows and Art Nouveau railings further enrich the home's refined facade. Offering over 6,000 square feet of living space, the layout reflects the influence of European sensibilities on Riddle's work. The Living Room overlooks the garden and provides a tranquil retreat in the French tradition, while the formal Dining Room is positioned at the front of the home in the practice of 18th-century English custom. Now thoroughly renovated, the home seamlessly blends its architectural heritage with modern sophistication. In 2019 the current owners undertook a project that was comprehensive: it included a structural renovation for a new kitchen, new spa-inspired baths, updated lighting, new and refinished hardwood floors, and modern essentials like updated electrical, waterproofed basement, a new boiler, and water filtration system. At the heart of the floor plan, the dramatic, high-end kitchen anchors the home and features top-of-the-line appliances and sophisticated finishes, offering both style and functionality. The kitchen connects seamlessly to the adjacent bar, dining, and entertaining areas - complemented by a gallery, den, and private office. On the upper levels are a lavish Primary Suite that spans the width of the house, four additional bedrooms, a stunning two-story sitting room and a spacious Great Room designed with flexible options for living, working, or recreation. The partially finished lower level allows ample space for a gym, game room, laundry, mechanicals and storage. Set on an oversized lot, 5626 South Woodlawn is a rare opportunity to own an architecturally significant home that unites historic charm with modern sophistication - in the heart of one of Chicago's most beloved neighborhoods.
