A mid-century, 10-story condominium complex built in 1959 and located in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood. The property contains a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences arranged around interior corridors served by elevators. Architectural character is restrained mid-century modern with masonry facades and large window banks that provide skyline and lake views on many corner units. Interior features commonly found across units include granite counters, walk-in closets, in-unit storage and updated kitchens and baths in some homes; building-level services include a staffed 24-hour doorperson, on-site management, package receiving and public lobbies. Shared facilities emphasize recreation and convenience: a landscaped courtyard, outdoor pool, roof deck with grilling and fire-pit areas, an exercise/health room, and community party/meeting space. Practical amenities include controlled entry with TV-monitored doors, resident storage, laundry rooms, bike storage and at least some garage parking availability. The property is pet friendly and periodically marketed to investors as well as owner-occupants. Situated within walking distance of the University of Chicago, public transit, retail, and Lake Michigan, the complex offers a blend of campus-adjacent living and neighborhood conveniences.
