5529 S Hyde Park Blvd. #G

This spacious garden unit is going back on the market after condo board updated its building share and halved the monthly assessment. This is a terrific opportunity to buy a place of your own in the heart of Hyde Park. The condo is located at the south facing end of a magnificent Arts and Crafts style building, which places the windows away from any public space, a huge plus in a garden unit. It features warm, original maple hardwood floors (all but one bedroom, which has a vinyl plank floor), which distinguish it from most garden units and signifies that it is a dry space, super important at the garden level. This condo has a cozy, but not cramped feel, the square footage being substantial. Only blocks east to the lake and then only a couple hundred yards to the incomparable Promontory Point. Two blocks west to Trader Joes, pharmacy, Metra, French bakery, restaurants, hardware store, etc. The University of Chicago is an easy walk or super quick bike ride away. There is also a large semi-finished rear room that could be great studio, workshop, or storage space. Relax and socialize in a beautiful back yard amidst flowers and vegetable gardens, featuring a shared patio and even a few resident chickens (no crowing roosters!). The space has character and a really fantastic location.
