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. Gated exterior parking available to rent through the HOA. Located a rock's throw from Metra public transit, Trader Joe's, Walgreens, Cornell Park, the Museum of Science and Industry, Lake Michigan, and all that the Hyde Park restaurant and shopping scene has to offer!
