1140 E Hyde Park Blvd. #2D

The trees on the Boulevard are just starting to fill out with spring foliage, making it feel like you are in a tree house in the big sunroom that opens to the living and dining rooms which are both in the front of this huge condo which has just about everything (including a private garage stall out back). The entire place has been painted in designer colors. The formal foyer has vaulted ceilings with the original decorative plaster detailing and crown moldings. During the renovation between 2013-2015, new hardwood floors, new wiring and central air conditioning were all installed. New windows were installed in the rear of the unit. The original vintage windows up front have storms and screens. The Home Theater with projector TV, wired audio and a retractable movie screen will all come with the unit. The sellers are also happy to leave the two televisions which have been installed with brackets on the walls. Also in the living room is an attached floor to ceiling bookcase custom built to match the existing vintage woodwork in the room. Closets have been fitted with Elfa organizers. The shared primary bath features Carrera marble, a double sink vanity and a whirlpool tub. The 2nd en-suite bath has full porcelain tiled tub/shower and a Toto toilet. There is a terrific cook's kitchen with dual 30" Subzero refrigerators. Create gourmet treats on the Wolf 48" professional gas range with a grill, French Top and dual ovens. Huge vented hood above. The built-in microwave is a slide out drawer. Terrific cabinets with lots of drawers and a pantry cabinet with shelves that slide out. Sleek honed granite countertops. The butler pantry has a Viking 2 drawer beverage refrigerator, a Miele espresso maker and more glass display cabinets above and closed cabinets below with more drawers. The 36 ft long gallery hallway starting at the front foyer and ending at the master bedroom at the end of the condo has a unique curved vaulted ceiling and newer light fixtures. It's very special that there is a big sunroom in the front with sun all day long from the east/south/west exposures PLUS another sunroom at the other end of the condo with east/north/west windows. Glossy red front loading washer and dryer are in a closet in the hallway for easy access. Located at the edge of the historic Kenwood Mansion District, it is just a few blocks from the Metra & express bus to the Loop and the Whole Foods and Marshall's. The University of Chicago Campus bus stops at the corner, & the Lakefront is an easy walk or roll away. In fact, it's easy to bike throughout the neighborhood. Trader Joe's is just a few more blocks away and Binny's is in the opposite direction about the same distance north. It has a very walkable and very bikeable WalkScore. It's easy to get to the best restaurants & shops that make Hyde Park such a special place to be. Investors can rent this unit! Pets (up to 2 per unit) are welcome with no weight restriction. Assigned private big storage room and a bike room in the basement.
