Description
Beautifully updated vintage 3 bed | 2 bath penthouse in charming courtyard condo building tucked away on a quiet tree-lined street in Hyde Park. This home offers a perfect blend of vintage classic with modern updates including dark stained hardwood flooring throughout, lovely white crown molding and baseboard trim, and a gas starting, wood burning fireplace! Enjoy a morning coffee or night cap drink on the large front balcony that overlooks a well groomed courtyard or on the private back deck off of the kitchen. Step into a welcoming entry foyer that leads to a bright and spacious living, dining, and kitchen area flooded with natural light from the large N, E, and W facing windows. The updated kitchen highlights all SS appliances with wine fridge, granite counter-tops, and a breakfast bar/dining nook - perfect for entertaining. The master suite, large enough for a king-sized bed, is complete with a walk in closet and an en-suite bath with dual vanities. The second and third bedrooms, located off the entry foyer are connected by a jack and jill bathroom and offer plenty of closet space. Home comes with washer and dryer in unit.
