Welcome to this lovely 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom condo nestled on a tree-lined Hyde Park block. This home offers 2 living spaces including the front living room adorned with a decorative fireplace and built-in shelving. The rear living space with its beamed ceiling is located right off of the recently updated open kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, lots of smart storage, newly installed tile flooring and subway tile backsplash (2018). The condo has great storage throughout including a large hallway walk-in pantry and a walk-in closet within the primary bedroom. Bright and lovely tiled bathroom includes a new marble top vanity (2022). High 9.5' ceilings and beautiful newly refinished hardwood floors throughout. The vintage character of this condo has been maintained including crown molding and the custom wood radiator covers. There's also an in-unit washer/dryer for your convenience. You have your choice of 3 outdoor areas to enjoy: the private front balcony overlooking Blackstone and an oversized shared rear deck which overlooks the community's courtyard - your 3rd outdoor space. Hidden from street view, there's an incredible enclosed community courtyard complete with seating, community gardens, grilling areas and a swing set. Definitely a nice bonus to have as an extension of your home. The building is very well-managed. There's additional assigned storage in the basement along with workshop areas for your use. This location is close to downtown Hyde Park's restaurants and shops, blocks from the lakefront, parks and the University of Chicago. Easy access to Lake Shore Drive.
