About This Home

As of November 2025

Designed by renowned architect Paul Frederick Olsen, this elegant 1924 condo offers vintage charm and modern convenience in a prime Hyde Park location. Perfectly positioned at the eastern edge of the Midway Plaisance-just steps from the future Obama Presidential Center-this residence benefits from a $4 million neighborhood revitalization, including a new universally accessible playground, restored landscaping, improved drainage, and refurbishment of the Cheney-Goode Memorial. Set within a beautifully landscaped courtyard, the home spans nearly 1,000 square feet across the full width of the building, with serene garden views. A spacious living room opens to a Juliet balcony, while the formal dining room-ideal as a home office or family room-adds flexibility to the floor plan. Vintage details include original hardwood floors, picture-frame molding, and a classic tiled bathroom. Practical amenities include a window A/C unit, shared laundry, secure bike storage, and a private storage locker in the basement. Garage parking is available for rent next door at Vista Homes. Monthly assessments conveniently cover heat, gas, wireless internet, and property taxes. Smoke-free building. Unbeatable location-steps from the University of Chicago campus, Metra, and CTA #6 and #15 buses.
