Property Description
Lovely top floor 3 bed/2 bath condo in a perfect East Hyde Park location with well-preserved vintage charm throughout. The heated west-facing sunroom is flooded with natural light, plus a spacious east-facing rear balcony shaded by mature trees. The 9-unit building is impeccably maintained by the association, including a beautifully landscaped common backyard. And the location really can't be beat. You're on a quieter side street but still have everything you need at your doorstep: Metra, CTA buses downtown, Promontory Point, 55th street restaurants & retail, Trader Joe's, Walgreen's, and the new Night Heron wine bar opening at the end of your block this fall!
