Property Description
Perfectly situated in a desirable Hyde Park neighborhood, this campus townhouse is just steps from the University of Chicago, the UC Lab Schools, shopping centers, and only one block from the Metra station. Designed by the world-renowned I.M. Pei, this meticulously renovated corner-unit townhouse perfectly blends mid-century modernist clean lines with contemporary architecture. The sun-drenched interiors feature Pei's signature skylight, solid oak hardwoods, and expansive windows that create an airy, open feel throughout the living space. It is move-in ready, with a fully renovated kitchen, an updated upstairs bathroom, a new roof, and a new water heater. Unlike most area townhomes, this residence features a full central HVAC system with a whole-house humidifier for year-round comfort. The newly replaced patio door at the rear of the home enhances both energy efficiency and a clean, modern aesthetic. The half-finished basement includes a full-size washer/dryer and offers a flexible canvas. Whether you need a home gym, a quiet workshop, or a future living room expansion, this space provides the functional footprint to suit your needs. Situated on an oversized 2,500 sq. ft. corner lot, the property offers one of the largest footprints in the area. The private, wrought-iron fenced backyard and side yard provide a secure sanctuary for gardening or entertaining. Best of all, one extra-long private parking is located just outside the gated backyard, easily accommodating two vehicles.
