Property Description

Historic Hyde Park Condo in a Landmark Building. Experience timeless charm in this beautifully maintained vintage condominium located in one of Hyde Park's distinguished landmark buildings, designed by renowned architect Horatio Wilson, who also designed the first luxury high-rise on DuSable Lake Shore Drive. Completed in 1910 and featured in the December 1910 edition of American Architect magazine, this architecturally significant building offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Chicago history. Ideally situated directly across from Harold Washington Park, just steps from the 51st Street Pedestrian Bridge and only 1.5 miles from the Obama Presidential Center, this exceptional location provides easy access to the lakefront's scenic walking and biking trails, the University of Chicago, museums, shopping, dining, and public transportation. Inside, this inviting residence combines vintage character with modern updates. The thoughtfully designed floor plan maximizes every square foot and features newly refinished hardwood floors (2026), fresh paint throughout (2026), abundant natural light, and a spacious bedroom. The well-appointed kitchen includes a stunning SMEG refrigerator, quality appliances, generous cabinetry, and everything needed for comfortable everyday living. The bathroom preserves its historic appeal with a classic Art Moderne Japanese soaking tub installed during a 1940 renovation, complemented by original-style white tile, glass tub walls, and heated floors. Additional conveniences include a large private storage room located just outside the unit's front door, plus an assigned basement storage cage (SL856). Owners also have the opportunity to install a private washer and dryer in a designated basement space through the association.
