About This Home

As of August 2026

Perfectly located! The vibrancy of the Hyde Park neighborhood is at the doorstep of this wonderful vintage second floor condominium. Walk to shopping, restaurants, museums, parks, beaches, tennis courts, the University of Chicago, the Obama Presidential Center, and the list goes on! DuSable Lake Shore Drive, the Metra train and public bus transportation is steps away -- including the U of C bus line. This two bedroom home has spacious rooms, hardwood floors, bedroom ceiling fans, and replacement double pane drop-in windows. The flexible floorplan allows for creative use of space.

The large separate dining room is a plus offering a multifunctional space. The kitchen has copious cabinets, granite countertops and room for a cafe table. The back porch is approximately 4 years old! There is a large private storage space, a bike room and coin laundry. No investors-rental restriction applies. Seller requires a closing date of no earlier than August 15th.
