Unbeatable East Hyde Park location for this recently renovated (2015), roomy condominium in a friendly 6 unit brick building on the Boulevard. It's an easy walk or roll to the Museum of Science and Industry, the 57th St Beach, Promontory Point, Trader Joe's, Office Depot, Walgreens, shops, restaurants and the University of Chicago. There is a bus stop at the corner to the Loop and the U of C. Head to the train tracks and you'll be at the Metra stop going north to the Loop or south to the Indiana Dunes. Hop on a bike and you can be pretty much anywhere you want to be in minutes, including the famed Lakefront bike path. The living room has recessed lighting, a decorative fireplace flanked by glass fronted bookshelves and a french door leading out to the private front porch; perfect for watching the world pass as you work from home in the shade of the trees. There are two large bedrooms off the long hallway, each with a door leading into the shared master bath. The bath has double sinks set into a marble topped cherry wood vanity, travertine floors and a large and impressive travertine tiled shower stall with a glass door. In the hallway is a recessed curved bench with a boot caddy: a throwback to the building's historic roots. The formal dining room has 3 tall bay windows, adding to its charm. Since the unit is on the south side of the building, all of the rooms get sunlight. The thermopane windows have just been washed to bring in the glow. The hardwood floors have been stained a deep cherry color and gleam throughout the condo. The kitchen has 42" cherry cabinets, quartz counter tops, stainless steel appliances (including a gas range), a stainless steel farmhouse sink, glass subway tile back splash and ceramic tiled floors. The maid's room off the kitchen (even 2 bedroom Hyde Park apartments were historically 1 bedroom apartments with a maid's room...imagine!) has its own private bath with a fully tiled tub/shower and a cool rectangular sink vanity. Also in the kitchen is the laundry closet with full size front loading washer and gas dryer. Step out the back door and you are on a private back porch overlooking the wide back yard. In the basement there is plenty of room for bicycles and your own private storage room. The heat is included in the assessments and there are 4 air conditioners that will remain with the unit. One AC is a portable unit that you can roll into any room. It's priced to sell. For the finish and the location, it's a great deal!
