This property is a lovely garden unit on a tree-lined street in Hyde Park - walking distance to the lakefront, 57th Street restaurants, and University of Chicago. It is in a great location. It is technically a one bedroom; however, there were French Doors installed, along with drapes to cover the glass of the French doors (not seen in the above photos), in the office doorway. So, that office area can technically serve as a second bedroom if needed. As this is a garden unit, the unit has its own washer and dryer located outside the kitchen door, in the basement (no coin laundry). There is plenty of free street parking in this area. The price includes the following utilities - heat, water, garbage, internet, laundry. Tenant pays electric. Don’t hesitate to send a message to get a tour scheduled!
