Property Description
Spacious 1-bedroom-plus-den vintage co-op at 5470 S. Woodlawn, Unit 1W, in Hyde Park, Chicago. This nearly 1,000-square-foot residence lives like a 2-bedroom, with a separate den, all-season sunroom, or flex space that works beautifully as a home office, guest room, nursery, or art studio. Set in a beautiful vintage courtyard building with lovely landscaping, this move-in ready co-op is full of classic 1920s character. Inside, you will find original hardwood floors, decorative fire-place, elegant crown molding, wainscoting, original door hardware, and a beautiful built-in sideboard/hutch that adds warmth, charm, and timeless architectural detail. The layout includes both a spacious living room and a formal dining room, creating a comfortable and functional floor plan for everyday living and entertaining. The formal dining room opens to the all-season sunroom overlooking the courtyard, giving the home a bright and flexible bonus space. The generously sized kitchen features a stainless steel appliance package, ample cabinet and counter space, and built-in wine storage. As a co-op, the monthly assessment of $717 includes property taxes and heat, so there is no separate tax bill. Rentals are permitted, making this a flexible option for investors and owner-occupants alike. Ample street parking is available, and the home includes an additional large basement storage unit measuring approximately 10 x 5 x 10. The location is the standout. You are a 7-minute walk from the University of Chicago main campus and a 10-minute walk from the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools. Downtown Hyde Park, with its shops and restaurants, is within walking distance, along with Trader Joe's, Target, Starbucks and CVS. A bus stop is located around the corner, and Lake Michigan, Promontory Point, and surrounding green spaces are just a short walk away. This Hyde Park co-op offers the square footage and flexibility of a 2-bedroom at a reasonable price point, along with the charm of a true vintage gem in one of Chicago's most established lakefront neighborhoods.
