This lovely lakefront condo combines vintage details with updated finishes in an unbeatable lakefront location. Located in the North Kenwood Historic District in a classic 3-unit greystone built in 1892, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath condo features high ceilings (9.5'), large windows with both east and west exposures, and multiple outdoor spaces - an adorable front balcony, spacious back patio off the kitchen with a skyline view, and an enchanting shared walled garden. Both the front and back gardens of the building have been lovingly landscaped with hundreds of perennial flowers. Inside the unit you'll enjoy central AC, entirely brand-new kitchen appliances (2024), newer hot water heater (2021), newer stacked washer & dryer (2021), and newer remote-operated gas fireplace (2019). Oakenwald Avenue is a quiet enclave lined with historic homes, but with all the conveniences of Kenwood and Hyde Park close at hand. The 47th Street corridor is just a couple blocks away, with a Metra stop (~10 min to the Loop), express buses, Walgreen's, Binny's, and more. The new 43rd Street pedestrian bridge just one block away provides direct access to the Lakefront Trail and Burnham Nature Sanctuary by foot or bike. Vivian Harsh Playlot is directly across the street, and Kennicott Park & Field House is one block west. Plentiful street parking immediately in front of the building is always available. This home is a truly special retreat on the south lakefront, ready for its new owner. Offer accepted, status will be updated upon earnest money receipt.
