Welcome to 6642 S. Drexel Avenue, a beautifully restored historic residence in the heart of Woodlawn that has been thoughtfully deconverted from a two-flat into a stunning single-family home. Combining timeless character with modern luxury, this home underwent an extensive renovation and restoration completed in 2026. From the moment you enter, you'll appreciate the beautiful hardwood floors that flow throughout the home and the expansive open-concept main level designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious floor plan offers generous living and dining areas, creating the perfect setting for gatherings of any size. The kitchen is truly the heart of the home, featuring backlit cabinetry, abundant storage, and ample space for a large eat-in dining area. Whether hosting guests or enjoying a quiet evening at home, this thoughtfully designed space provides both functionality and style. One of the home's most remarkable features is found on the second level, where you'll discover three spacious ensuite bedrooms-a rare and highly desirable layout seldom found in homes of this caliber. Each suite offers privacy, comfort, and its own dedicated bathroom, creating the ultimate retreat for family members and guests alike. The fully finished basement expands the living space even further, offering two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and endless possibilities for recreation, a home office, fitness area, or extended living arrangements. Additional features include a detached two-car garage and countless updates throughout the home that blend historic charm with contemporary finishes. Located in the rapidly growing Woodlawn community near Jackson Park, the University of Chicago, the Obama Presidential Center, and public transportation, this exceptional home offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Chicago history reimagined for modern living.
