Amazing price drop of $50,000. Sellers are ready to move. Great deal on a beautifully redone home that is totally move-in ready. Newly re-painted George Maher designed home looks as fresh as it did when it was elegantly renovated in 2012. Unimpeded sunlight floods the living room and illuminates the curved window seat in the formal dining room. An inviting family room is in the front of the main level looking out to the front porch which faces the Boulevard. The living room has bay windows and a gas log fireplace. The eat-in kitchen features designer wood cabinets with plentiful drawers and granite countertops. A bar sink is adjacent to the dining room which has a pantry closet. The stainless steel refrigerator and dishwasher were replaced in 2021. All the hardwood floors throughout the main and second floors were newly installed in the renovation, and they still gleam as if they had just been finished. The marble baths are plentiful. A powder room is tucked in next to the front stairs leading to the finished basement. In the basement is a beautiful bath with a huge shower stall with a bench and glass doors. On the second level are 3 full baths: one ensuite with the front bedroom, one in the hallway with a tub/shower combination and the primary bath with a double vanity and a spacious glass enclosed double shower stall across from the two generous walk-in primary closets. The primary suite also opens to a 3 season sun room with 3 walls of older windows overlooking the back patio with its raised planters along the south side of the house, perennials bordering the patio and the brick 2 car garage. At the top of the stairs is a skylight which lights up the landing with more sun. In the renovation, there was new wiring, new plumbing, A/C, a whole house water filter, 2 ejector pumps to ensure a dry basement, new doors, new windows, the new front staircase and new trim. In the basement (which has 2 means of egress) is a terrific recreation room with its restored antique wet bar-original to Cyril's Tiki Lounge-featuring double nickel sinks and vintage lighting. The laundry room has side by side washer and dryer that were new in 2023 plus a fold out ironing board, sink, cabinets and a counter for folding clothes. The room in the far back has closets containing the hot water heater, water filter and the ejector pumps. It's a great room for working on projects or to put exercise equipment to work on yourself. The separate utility room houses a new furnace from 2022 and room for extra storage. There is even a small room with a window that the owners have dedicated for their cats' litter boxes. Cleverly constructed cat openings from the recreation room lead through the furnace room to the litter room. Except for the utility areas, the entire basement is tiled in travertine. The lot is a generous 150 ft long. The location in East Hyde Park can't be beat. Go east a couple of blocks and you are at the underpass to Promontory Point and the 57th St sandy beach with food shacks and a bathhouse. The Lakefront walking and biking path is a terrific place to exercise or travel all the way to the Loop and beyond to the north and to the South Side Cultural Center heading south. Both directions will get you to beaches, marinas, restaurants, festivals and other amenities that draw people all year around to the Lakefront. The express bus to the Loop stops right across the street and the Metra stops two blocks to the west. In the summer there is an express bus from the Museum of Science just a couple of blocks to the south all the way to Navy Pier with stops in the Loop. It's an easy walk or roll to everything that makes Hyde Park such a magnet for visitors and residents alike: foodie restaurants, taverns, shopping and parks. And of course it's an easy stroll to the University of Chicago just up the street beginning at 55th St. A local bus serving as a link to the University is right at the corner. Move in, unpack and enjoy great living.
