This home is a don't miss, special opportunity to live in a most sought after location - vibrant downtown Hyde Park! Transform this condominium into your dream home. Instead of settling for someone else's idea of the perfect home, this spacious condo is ready for you to customize and make it your special one-of-a-kind home with the finishes you have always imagined, as a full rehab is necessary. A wonderful sunroom adds space for multiple uses; sit back and read, use it as an office, a play area, or a perfect spot for your plants. The living room is highlighted by a decorative fireplace and surrounding bookcases. The large separate dining room is perfect for hosting dinners. And there is a wonderful back deck for relaxing outdoors. Free laundry is located in the basement but in-unit laundry can be installed. This three bedroom condo is at the doorstep of everything this neighborhood has to offer. Walk to the University of Chicago, shopping, restaurants, the lake, multiple parks, the Museum of Science and Industry, the DuSable Museum, and the soon to be Obama Presidential Center. Transportation is a breeze from this home, the University bus lines are steps from your door as are public buses, the Metra and DuSable Lake Shore Drive. Acknowledging that the condo requires a total rehab, it has been priced accordingly. This home is being sold "As-Is".
