Elegant and beautifully finished, this vintage condo sits on the quietest block in East Hyde Park. The one-way street north of 56th is just minutes from Lake Michigan, the University of Chicago, the Museum of Science and Industry, the Obama Presidential Center, the Metra station, and the Hyde Park Shopping Center (with Trader Joe's, Walgreens, and lovely restaurants and shops). With the University bus system and the express bus to the Loop nearby, it's a perfect location. Inside, original details preserve the building's character, while updated features deliver modern comfort. Newly-refinished hardwood floors run throughout the unit. A gracious double foyer with a deep coat closet welcomes you in. The adjacent living room showcases original woodwork, a beamed ceiling, and large, sun-filled windows overlooking tree-lined Cornell Avenue. The street-facing windows remain original for historic uniformity, while the rest of the unit has been fitted with modern, double-pane windows. A built-in wall of white cabinets will stay with the home. A long (37'3) hallway leads to 2 large bedrooms and an updated marble-tiled full bathroom with a deep soaking tub, heated flooring, and a glass-enclosed shower. The main bathroom also offers a vintage built-in floor-to-ceiling cabinet with drawers. The dining room at the end of the hallway showcases original ceiling beams with recessed lighting and ample room for a large table for gatherings. The room is also complemented by its own built-in wall of white cabinets. The adjoining kitchen features a butler's pantry with glass-fronted cabinets and wood drawers for additional storage. The kitchen itself has maple shaker cabinets, granite countertops, a double-bowl undermount stainless steel sink, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances including a gas range, dishwasher, microwave/hood, and wide side-by-side refrigerator. A stackable washer and dryer are tucked in next to the refrigerator, with additional laundry hookups available in the third bedroom. The third bedroom located just off the kitchen offers flexible space - ideal as a guest suite or home office - with its own beautifully tiled, recently renovated ensuite bath featuring a walk-in rain shower head with a glass partition. Just off the kitchen, a door leads out to a spacious private back porch and a dedicated off-street parking spot for 1 car. Rated a walker's and biker's paradise, the neighborhood also offers excellent transportation options. Imagine being able to access the lakefront bike path each morning in just minutes. Being on the first floor of this lovely building means easy access in and out. Nothing could be more convenient. An exceptional property in an exceptional location.
