About this home
Condo · Built 1923 · Historic
Spacious one bedroom condo in a vintage courtyard building on the campus of the University of Chicago. South-facing with wonderful natural light, this unit is located on a high first floor and features separate living room and dining room, beautiful hardwood floors, crown molding, and ample closet space, including a pantry in the kitchen. The closet in the living room houses an intact Murphy bed, which can accommodate overnight guests, making this a two bedroom in a pinch. Laundry and storage are located one flight down the back stairs. Near shops along 53rd and 57th St. and Nichols Park. Heat is included in the monthly assessment. Smoke-free building. Sorry, no dogs. Cats are allowed.
