Welcome to 4857 S Kimbark – a spacious stone and red slate house in a desirable South Kenwood location. This home has completely updated mechanicals and wiring, and offers all the modern amenities you expect, yet it retains a wealth of original details such as a stately wrap around porch, inviting wood paneled foyer, carved mantel pieces, built in cabinets and pocket doors in Birdseye maple, cherry and quartersawn oak. Step through the front door into a grand entry foyer with original staircase, wainscoting, fireplace and inlaid floors. Perfect for entertaining and large gatherings, this level offers several rooms and open spaces that can accommodate more or less formal living.
