Beautifully designed living and dining rooms sit side by side, opening into a bright sunroom overlooking a leafy street lined with mature trees. The entire condo-including closets-has been freshly painted, and genuine hardwood floors shine throughout. The original fireplace with vintage tile surround now features a gas log insert, perfect for cozy evenings as the weather cools, while four air conditioning units provide comfort in warmer months. Two of the AC units were new in 2021 and the portable unit was new in 2022. The kitchen and butler's pantry have been updated with white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a garbage disposal and reverse osmosis water filter from 2020. The dishwasher was replaced in 2023. Bedrooms and the dining room feature updated ceiling fans and light fixtures, and sparkling clean windows flood the home with natural light. The shared primary bath offers a new vanity and mirror along with a reglazed vintage tub. The laundry machines located in their own hall closet were new in 2020 and there is even a laundry sink (which is hard to find these days). Move-in ready, this pet-friendly association allows two pets per unit (up to 85 lbs. each) and requires contracts be submitted 30 days prior to closing. A recently replaced boiler was covered by a special assessment, which the sellers will settle in full at closing. Ideally located just blocks from the University of Chicago, 53rd Street's dining scene, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and the lakefront, the home earns high Walk Score ratings for walkability, bikeability, and transit. Buses run along East Hyde Park Boulevard with connections to express routes, Metra, and the Red and Green Lines, plus an express bus to the Loop is just a couple of blocks away. Residents also share a rear parking space for deliveries and moving. Sunny back porch too!
