NOTE: Seller is offering a $2000 closing cost credit to the buyer! Welcome to historic and beautiful Hyde Park! Here's your opportunity to live in an updated condo in a nice residential neighborhood that is easy access to the University of Chicago, University of Chicago Hospital and the iconic Lake Shore Drive and Lakefront Trail! A recent price improvement makes this lovely condo even more attractive. All the hardwood floors have been recently refinished and the entire unit has been repainted. Three bedrooms and two full baths mean room to spread out ~ or use the third bedroom as a cozy office, den or hang-out space! There is a spacious sunroom at the front of the unit that gets wonderful late-afternoon light and a private, covered deck at the back~perfect for alfresco dining. Kitchen has a large butcher-block counter, stainless steel appliances and lots of storage. There's an in-unit washer/dryer, gas heat and central air (which many Hyde Park condos do not have). Lounge in front of the wood burning fireplace as your Hyde Park neighborhood welcomes the change of season!
