Love a Lush Backyard? A 5-Bedroom Row House: 5735 S. Dorchester in Hyde Park
This 5-bedroom vintage row house at 5735 S. Dorchester in Hyde Park came on the market in September 2018.
It is the row house on the left in the picture above.
Built in 1887, it is on a larger than standard lot of 24×151.
It has many of its original vintage features including 10-foot ceilings, crown moldings, pocket doors, hardwood floors throughout and 3 fireplaces, including one in the master bedroom and one in the living room which is wood burning and still has the original mantle complete with Dutch tiles.
The listing says the windows have been replaced with new Marvin windows.
There is also central air.
The kitchen has white cabinets, butcher block counter tops, a Subzero refrigerator, Dacor stove and a Bosch dishwasher.
There’s a small back deck and a lush backyard with lilacs and roses but there’s no garage or parking.
Originally listed in September 2018 for $1.1 million, it has been reduced $105,000 to $995,000.
Within just a few blocks of the University, the 57th street Metra stop and restaurants, is this property a Hyde Park classic?

wow over a million bucks for a small outdated home on the south side with an overgrown backyard and no parking? sign me up for this deferred maintenance nightmare!
It’s bad when your drive-by photo of the exterior is better than the one in the listing.
No parking, no garage, no finished basement, shared walls, no yard, and nearly everything needs to be touched up or refinished. Will this even sell for 750k?
Beautiful property at half the price you’d pay for similar in Lincoln Park. I disagree with the previous posters. I guess I like the out-of-dateness of it.
No parking, though -that’s a big drawback, I agree.
