3846 Charlotte Street

Stately Central Hyde Park house on quiet street, with a canopy of mature oak trees. Not a through street, and so has little traffic. Last house on the block not yet rehabbed. A view of Hyde Park. Larger windows and taller ceilings than typical in this SE corner of Central Hyde Park. Wood floors throughout, oak on first floor. Dramatic interior oak woodwork, including a three-story, open-well staircase, said to be quite rare in Hyde Park. (The Loose Mansion on Armour Blvd. has such a staircase.) THIS HOUSE HAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL. 5 bdrm/2.5 bath. The glorious oak woodwork on the first floor has its original 1905 finish, mostly in lovely, original condition. Large kitchen/pantry area, instead of a galley kitchen, as is so common in Central Hyde Park; plenty of space for a chef’s kitchen, including an island. A perfect space for a laundry area, adjacent to the kitchen. On the second floor, plumbing has been roughed-in for a potential third bath, in a potential master suite, to be created by connecting two of the bedrooms. Full apartment on the third floor – the original servant’s quarters – including a full bath. Vinyl, double-pane windows throughout. Two-car detached garage. The roof and mechanical systems (HVAC, water heater, etc.) are recent and in good condition, according to the inspector. The electrical service has been replaced and upgraded to 100-amp service, including a new breaker panel. The house has been re-plumbed (supply and drainage), and the house has been largely re-wired throughout. The front, side, and back yards have extensive flower beds that have been recovered (cleared of major weeds) and covered with mulch, ready for the new owners’ choice of landscaping. A professional inspection in 2024 identified repairs and other items to be addressed. Just over 4,000 person-hours and more than $100,000 (including extensive and expensive repairs) have been invested, to bring the house to “rehab-ready.” The house should now pass inspection.
