Welcome home and experience gracious vintage living on an exceptional scale. Spanning over 2500 square feet, this remarkable three-bedroom, two-bath residence at the full-service Vista Homes combines two 10th floor units into one expansive home. Large, elegant formal living and dining rooms serve as the centerpiece of the home. Both rooms face east, capturing breathtaking views of Lake Michigan to enjoy the sunrises that fill the home with natural light. The floor plan offers a wonderful balance of grand entertaining spaces and private retreats. Generously proportioned living and dining rooms provide an elegant backdrop for hosting and everyday living, while a spacious, west-facing breakfast room offers a more cost setting for morning coffee and casual meals. The galley kitchen was renovated in 2023 and is adjacent to a versatile mudroom with a separate entrance-an especially practical feature for daily arrivals and additional storage. Beautiful vintage details lend the residence enduring character, including graceful arched doorways, artistic crown moldings, hardwood floors, and many spacious closets throughout. The two classic bathrooms feature soaking tubs, original pedestal sinks, and timeless subway tile. The three well-proportioned bedrooms offer western views and sunlight. Vista Homes residents enjoy full-service concierge living and access to the property's landscaped grounds, including lush gardens for outdoor entertaining, a playground, and a barbecue area. Just steps from Lake Michigan and Jackson Park, the location offers easy access to beaches, lakefront trails, golf courses, marinas, and outdoor recreation. Hyde Park's vibrant retail and dining destinations and renowned cultural institutions are nearby, including the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry, Hyde Park Art Center, Court Theatre, Smart Museum of Art, Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House, Rockefeller Memorial Chapel, and the Obama Presidential Center. Public transportation options are exceptional, with express bus service to the Loop and University of Chicago buses just outside the front door, and Metra trains and Divvy bikes just one block away. This charming residence combines remarkable space, historic character, and an enviable lakefront setting in one of Chicago's most unique and special neighborhoods: Hyde Park.
