1140 E Hyde Park Blvd. #3

This glorious condominium has space, quality finish, vintage detailing, wonderful breezes and fabulous light. Perched at the top of the trees on the Boulevard, this huge condo 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 mouldings. The living room, dining room and kitchen are all up front. Doors close to separate the front entertaining spaces from the bedroom and bath spaces in the back so that there can be happy noises up front while others are sleeping in the rear. The elegant living and dining rooms open to each other through a wide archway and are both open to the sunny, south facing sun room. The original tall wainscoting in the dining room and the deep cove moldings in both rooms hearken back to the building's early historic beginnings. There is an LED fireplace in the LR which the sellers are willing to leave. The galley kitchen (which has room for a small eating area) and the long walk-through pantry were totally renovated in 2016 with new cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite counter-tops and subway tiled back-splash. Under cabinet LED lighting provides cool light. The pantry has tall cabinetry with glass fronted top cabinets, more granite counter-top space and drawers and cabinets below. (Can there ever be enough kitchen drawers?) There is even a mud room space in the pantry with hooks for jackets and room for boots when you come up the enclosed back stairs from the garage. A small bedroom off the kitchen has the stacking front loading washer and dryer (new in 2019) in the closet. The other bedrooms are large, with deep walk-in closets and tall windows. Both bathrooms have had updating. The master bathroom had a complete renovation in 2019 with new tiles, custom glass doors for the shower, medicine cabinet and sink vanity. Off the other bedroom at the rear of the home is a carpeted sunroom with 3 walls of windows. The windows throughout were all replaced in 2009 with high quality double pane windows and have the terrific feature of being able to be lowered from the top with full window screens. No fear of anything falling out of bottom opening of windows that are so high off the sidewalk. 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. 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, Michael's 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. 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 storage and a bike room in the basement. Everything has been done to make this condo completely move-in ready.
