Move right into this attractive townhome - located within walking distance of the University of Chicago, and the many shops and restaurants of Hyde Park. With four bedrooms and two full and one-half baths, the post-modern style home is located within the University Circle development. Enter under the archway on off a quieter stretch of 53rd Street, the welcoming yard the front door opens to a high-ceilinged living and dining room combination. One is immediately impressed by the abundance of natural light that filters throughout the open plan. Up a short flight of stairs is the kitchen that opens to a spacious family room, with hardwood floors, a decorative fireplace, and a wall of windows overlooking the back courtyard. The appliances were all replaced by the current owners within the last five years. The dramatic stairway rises to the three bedrooms of the second level - two spacious bedrooms share a bath and the Primary Suite has an abundance of closets. The top level of this well-maintained home offers another bedroom or study, with two private decks for enjoyment on warm summer days, and an attached 1-car garage for inclement ones. Additionally there is a parking spot within the gated courtyard. The lower lever offers a powder room, laundry and mechanical room and direct access to the garage. And the roof was replaced in 2020. A beautiful home, freshly painted and offered at an attractive price.
