Overview

Beautiful condo on the quietest block in East Hyde Park. It's one-way north from 56th St, so there is hardly any traffic. Close to the Lake, the University of Chicago, the Museum of Science and Industry, the METRA station, the Hyde Park Shopping Center (with Trader Joes, Walgreens and lovely restaurants and shops) and the express bus to the Loop; it's a perfect location. The living room has original woodwork, a decorative fireplace flanked by bookshelves, beamed ceiling with recessed lights and a door to the front porch overlooking Cornell. A bedroom opens from the living room through an original massive sliding pocket door. It has floor to ceiling bookshelves spanning an entire wall and has customarily been used as a study/library. It would also be perfect as an extra bedroom. All of the windows facing the street are original for historic uniformity, but the rest of the windows in the unit have been replaced with double-paned windows. There is a gracious double foyer with a deep coat closet. The long (37'3) hallway has a window and recessed light and leads to 2 more bedrooms and a full tiled bathroom with a charming footed tub with shower and wand attachments. It has a built-in floor to ceiling cabinet with drawers below. The bathroom also has a medicine cabinet and extra room for a cabinet or an easy chair. The dining room at the end of the hallway has the original ceiling beams and room to sit around the longest of tables. The kitchen has a butler's pantry with a built-in cabinet with glass fronted doors and drawers below the wood counter. The kitchen has maple cabinets, black granite countertops, a double bowl stainless steel sink, a professional 6 burner U.S. Range with an oven big enough for 2 turkeys. The refrigerator/freezer is a GE Monogram. The Electrolux washer and dryer are 2 years old and the dishwasher was replaced this year. The 4 A/C units were replaced in the past few years. The fourth bedroom is off the kitchen with its own ensuite bath. Gleaming hardwood floors extend throughout the condo. A custom door leads out to the spacious private back porch. There is parking out back for 1 car. The location is deemed a walker and biker's paradise. Imagine being able to access the lakefront bike path each morning in just minutes.
