The first floor includes an attached garage, a spacious family room, a bonus room with potential for a new half bath, and plenty of storage and utility spaces.

Walking distance to the University of Chicago, Laboratory Schools, Ray Elementary, the Lakefront and all of Hyde Park's shopping and dining.
