The primary bedroom includes a cozy home office nook and double closets, while all bedrooms enjoy generous natural light and ceiling fans. The finished basement, newly refreshed with luxury vinyl flooring, adds valuable living space with a comfortable family room, recessed lighting, built-ins, and bookshelves. A large cedar closet and laundry area with a utility sink provide ample storage.Recent updates by the current owner include a newer hot water heater, Pella windows and patio door, updated can lighting, and numerous cosmetic improvements.

The University of Chicago, museums, parks, and public transportation are nearby, with easy access to Lake Shore Drive. Two private parking spaces and low monthly assessments (covering landscaping and snow removal) complete this rare offering.
