Mid Century Modern living at its best. Completely updated townhome in the Common Corporation Townhouse enclave that was built in 1965 designed by a Harry Weese acolyte, Ezra Gordon. It is nestled right behind the Kimbark Plaza which boasts restaurants, shops, a CVS and the famed Hyde Park Produce store. Some of the homes face Kimbark, but this house faces south to the mature tree filled private walled courtyard. Freshly painted, it has a cool, open 60's feel with gleaming hardwood floors on both the main level, stairs and the upper level. The staircase is an architectural focal point encased in vertical oak planking rising from floor to ceiling in the living room. A major renovation in 2021 brought this house to the new century standard. The dining room chandelier is a recent installation and will stay with the house. The kitchen has white painted wooden shaker cabinets, black stainless appliances including the dishwasher and refrigerator which are new from 2023, a vented hood, white quartz counters with a marbled design, subway tiled backsplash and porcelain plank tiles on the floor. The kitchen has plenty of room for a table and chairs with views through the windows to the private walled patio and garden. The baths were also renovated with new fixtures and vanities as well as porcelain plank tiled floors. New copper plumbing and new electrical wiring were installed in 2021 as well as a hard-wired security system. The windows are all replacements. Recessed lights are in the living room, kitchen and the finished recreation room in the basement. The basement also has an unfinished room for the laundry (including a laundry chute), HVAC, a workbench and lots of storage. The private back yard is completely fenced and has a brick patio, a grassy area, raised planters and a beautiful tree. The HVAC system also dates from 2021 and the roof was replaced in 2019. An assigned parking space is in the parking lot accessed from the east on 52nd St and there is street parking as well. When you are in the house with views of trees through all of the windows, it is hard to believe that you are so close to all of the vibrant shops and restaurants that line 53rd St. It's an easy walk or roll to the University of Chicago, the Museum of Science and Industry and the lakefront. Everyone is eagerly awaiting the opening of the Barack Obama Center which promises not only wonderful programming, but also parks with activities surrounding it. Buses run up and down Hyde Park Boulevard just a block and a half to the north and the express bus to the Loop and the Metra are a few blocks to the east. It's a terrific home in a terrific location.

This is the opportunity of the year to purchase a mid-century IM Pei E1 row house in close to original condition aggressively priced to reflect a new owner doing substantial work to bring it to 2024 finish. On the University of Chicago campus, it is a terrific location across from the lovely Nichols Park with playgrounds, tennis courts, dog friendly areas and just a lovely place to hang out in all sorts of weather. There is a dedicated parking spot out back, although there is often street parking right out front. A protected bike lane on 55th will get you to the lakefront in minutes if you like to pedal. Trader Joes and Walgreens are down the street and you are surrounded by restaurants at every turn. The house itself is a classic E1 with hardwood floors on the main and third level and hardwood stairs edged by the vertical wood balustrades on the main floor and iron balustrades above. The sunny kitchen has original wood cabinets, the original harvest gold double oven which is currently inoperable, as are the dishwasher, cooktop and vent fan above it. The refrigerator works. The hot water heater and A/C are working well and the roof has had no leaks. Several of the ceilings have been redone. The primary bedroom with ensuite bath extends the entire width of the house with room for the king size bed as well as two closets. The other two bedrooms are flooded with south sunshine all day long. Below them, the dining room and kitchen share the sliding glass doors to the south facing balcony. There was carpeting covering the entire main level for many years which was recently removed to reveal hardwood floors in very good shape. Having all the floors and stairs refinished would bring them back to like-new condition. On the lower level, the owners historically worked from home years before it became the rage in 2020. They worked in their respective offices, so they built a corridor to the back door and enclosed what customarily would be the open family room in the back. One could keep them as separate closed rooms or open the rear one up to its original configuration. In the last many years, the owner was confined to this floor. Luckily the back room is filled with light overlooking the backyard which has a gazebo deck. The washer and dryer were moved out of the utility room into the closet of the front bedroom. The HVAC and hot water heater were enclosed by glass sliding doors and a large roll-in tiled shower was installed. There are no steps into the house from the parking in the back, so the lower level is wheelchair accessible. After rehab, the house will have great value because these are homes that people love to settle into and rarely leave. The perfect location with the Ray School, the Murray School, the Lab School and St. Thomas schools all close by as well as the Hyde Park Neighborhood Center right across the street. And of course, in this most walkable of neighborhoods, all of buildings of the University are just a short walk or roll away. This is, emphatically, an AS-IS sale. Assume that you will have to do everything and then be surprised when you don't.
