About This Property

Perfectly situated 3 blocks from Bayshore Blvd and Hyde Park Village and not in a flood zone, the residence at 817 S Willow Ave. is one of the most uniquely beautiful and functional historic homes in Hyde Park. Its 1925 architecture & finishes represent a mixture of exterior influences from half -timbered homes in Northern France & interior influences from 1910-1930 American Craftsman detailing. Some noted exterior features are the use of natural elements: wood, brick & mortar, brick columns & piers, a porte-cochere, a low sloping front roof, a broad front porch with a front stoop & a bead board ceiling, graceful wood framed glass doors, numerous casement windows, & ornamental wood trim. The inviting front landscaping neatly frames this newly painted mindful gray & simply white trimmed home. The wide, welcoming front porch is where you will watch & meet your neighbors as they stroll by. Other Craftsman features include a large living room with a wood & tile fireplace surround, a spacious dining room with built in shelving & plate rails, a butler’s pantry with wood trimmed glass display cabinets, & a sunroom. The kitchen includes a built-out center island (with beverage drawers, wine racking, cabinets, and a prep sink), an eating bar, top grade appliances, solid wood & glass display cabinets, & a built-in desk. The kitchen & dining bar open to the ample family room/ informal dining area. A walk-in pantry & separate utility room are nearby. From the screened back porch enjoy afternoon tea & the inviting pool, its handsome decking, sun shelf, patio, outdoor shower, & newly landscaped backyard. Also, there is an oversized 2-car garage with attic storage & ample parking in the driveway. An eye-catching double entry double staircase with casement windows at its back wall creates a beautiful architectural element seen upon entering the home. The 2nd floor landing branches out to the 4 bedrooms. First is the primary bedroom that includes a lounge/library area, a balcony, his & her walk-in closets, & the primary bath with tub, large walk-in shower, pedestal sinks & a make-up niche. There are 3 other bedrooms (all wonderfully appointed) & 1 shared bathroom. Note, architectural plans are available to show how easily a 3rd bath may be added. Lastly, the 3rd floor is that extra space you always wish you could have. Currently, areas of the room include TV viewing, a game table, a computer station, & more. With this home comes reassurance that support piers & a porte-cochere column have been renovated and certified and plumbing under the house has been replaced. Many other substantial upgrades have been made. For a detailed list, see the attached factsheet. Better yet, call today for a home tour. Bedroom Closet Type: Walk-in Closet (Primary Bedroom).
