Sunny & spacious w/ high ceilings & balcony access, near UChicago

Description

This is a bright and spacious apartment on the third floor of a walk-up. The building is a classic Chicago brownstone, on a tree-lined street, 5-minutes away from Lake Michigan. The apartment is fully furnished. It has one bedroom, a living room with an office-corner set-up, a dining room, kitchen and bathroom equipped with a tub. The bedroom has access to the balcony, which has two-chairs, a small table, & a parasol for summer lounging. As of summer of 2024, the apartment is now equipped with a powerful AC unit. Building: This is a very quiet building, with kind neighbors. Our street is fairly quiet, but the occasional siren will pass and you might hear some rumblings during rush hour, when there is a heavy traffic on 55th st. We have video surveillance in the lobby & entry, and a remote-buzzer system. There is a bike room in the basement, as well as a laundry room with a couple of washer and dryer machines. Neighborhood & Access: The apartment is a 20-minute walk to campus, or 6 minutes on a bike. It is a hop-skip and a jump away from Promontory Point, a peninsula which juts into Lake Michigan, where you will find lovely views and a promenade, alongside a bike lane which goes all the way up into the Loop (downtown). It is about 10-12 minutes from the shops on 53rd st., including Whole Foods, Target, and smaller coffee shops and restaurants. Transportation includes a Metra stop (regional train) around the corner, as well as express-bus station across the street (#6 bus), and #171 & #55 local buses. Conditions: The monthly cost includes all utilities, which covers heat, gas, water, and high-speed internet. This is a smoke-free apartment, and you should keep the noise level down on weeknights. I have a good relationship with my neighbors and I'd like to keep it this way. I have a good amount of closet space and I will be storing my clothes and some of my books away so there is space for your belongings.
