Property Description

On the market for the first time in many years, this charming 4-bedroom, 2 full-bath "E" townhouse is located on a quiet street in the University of Chicago campus neighborhood. Designed by I.M. Pei in the early 1960s, it features a wonderfully laid out open floor plan on three above-grade levels and is in excellent condition, freshly painted throughout and with upgraded baths and kitchen (stainless appliances). Hardwood floors throughout the upper levels. Central a/c. Lower level family room opens to a private garden behind the house. Street parking is ample with a purchased City zoning permit. There is also a private parking lot and playground on the block for the homeowners in this association. Just a short walk to the University campus and both Lab School locations, as well as the Trader Joe's shopping center and downtown transportation. NOTE: the HOA fee is Annual, not Monthly.
