About this home
Presenting a special opportunity to own an architecturally significant townhome designed by renowned architects I.M. Pei and Harry Weese. 1470 E. 56th Street is tucked away on a peaceful, tree-lined street in the heart of Hyde Park. Offering three levels of living space, 4 bedrooms, and 3 full bathrooms, this distinctive home blends iconic mid-century architecture with thoughtfully updated interiors and generous private outdoor space. Buyers will appreciate many recent updates, including a 2026 kitchen refresh that includes all-new KitchenAid appliances, addition of a wine fridge, new quartz countertops, stylish backsplash, and updated lighting. The primary bathroom was completely gutted and reimagined in 2026, featuring beautiful marble shower flooring, updated tile, a new vanity and lighting. The additional third-floor bathroom was also remodeled in 2025. Truly special to this property is the original hardwood flooring and cabinetry, which has been well preserved and expertly refinished. Your new home also features cozy boiler heat complimented by central AC for cooling, a wood burning fireplace, 2026 washer, 2025 water heater, a brand new rood in 2014. The outdoor living space is also appealing, with a generous private rear patio and two additional balconies on the 2nd floor. Residents enjoy access to a private playground and shared barbecue area, with an exceptionally low $100 HOA fee covering maintenance of the common areas, playground, and parking lot. One dedicated parking space is included in the price.
