This terrific condo is under contract with a contingency to close on the sale of the buyer's property. We still welcome you to see it and make an offer if it looks like a great place for you. Located on the lip of the University of Chicago campus, this corner condo looks out to the neighborhood through mature trees. The distinctive I.M. Pei design shines through the arched exterior windows. The wood laminate floors throughout give it a modern feel. The renovated kitchen was opened to the living/dining room. It has 42" wood cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a peninsula for dining. The hall bath has lovely tiles and an updated vanity. Both bedrooms are roomy enough for both work and sleep. The master bath has a full size tiled shower stall and a newer vanity. This unit comes with an exterior parking space which is a valuable commodity in this end of the neighborhood. There won't be much need to drive, however, because you are in the center of the vibrant Hyde Park neighborhood. The Hyde Park Shopping Center with the Trader Joes and Walgreens as well as restaurants, shops and a bakery are an easy block east. To the west are restaurants and coffee shops on 55th. On 57th are more restaurants and bookstores. You are just two blocks south of the restaurants and shops on 53rd. An easy walk or bike to the the University of Chicago classrooms and offices, you'll also have all the attractions of the University. Concerts, films, theater and museums make this a cultural destination. It's also easy to get to the Loop on Lake Shore Drive or taking an express bus or Metra train close by. Beaches and Promontory Point on the lakefront are just blocks away. The building has attentive management, great security and a large engineering staff. It has a lovely pool you can join by the season and an exercise room. Few know about the breezy sun deck on the roof, but everyone knows about the big courtyard anchored by a center fountain. A storage locker (#70) comes with your unit too. Owners can have one dog and 2 cats. No pet weight limit. The parking space (#27) is in the the secure lot across the street from the North entrance at Blackstone. The spot is including in the price.
