About This Home

Perched above Hyde Park with sweeping north-facing views of Lake Michigan and the city skyline, this beautifully renovated one-bedroom residence blends timeless design with thoughtful modern updates. Expansive windows frame the ever-changing backdrop of water and city, filling the home with natural light and creating a bright, airy living experience throughout. The interiors have been meticulously reimagined with approximately $55,000 in upgrades, resulting in a cohesive, elevated aesthetic. The kitchen is both functional and refined, featuring custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a soft-toned backsplash, and a full suite of newer stainless-steel appliances. An oversized island anchors the space, offering both preparation and gathering space while seamlessly connecting to the main living area. Rich flooring flows throughout, complemented by custom crown molding and baseboards-including subtle integrated lighting that adds warmth and dimension. The living and dining areas feel both open and defined, with the dining space perfectly positioned along the windows to capture skyline views throughout the day. The bathroom has been completely transformed into a spa-like retreat, with elegant tilework, updated fixtures, and a glass-enclosed shower. Additional improvements include new doors, updated lighting throughout, and top-down bottom-up blinds in the bedroom for both privacy and flexibility. This home also includes deeded parking and additional storage, offering everyday convenience in a full-service building. Residents enjoy a marble-floored lobby with 24-hour door staff, newly renovated hallways, an updated party room, rooftop sundeck, and a fitness center. Additional amenities include on-site dry cleaning, laundry facilities, bike storage, professional management, and an on-site engineer. Ideally located just moments from the lakefront, the University of Chicago, and downtown access, this is a turnkey home where design, light, and location come together effortlessly.
