1505 E 56th Street

Beautiful modernist "D" townhouse with 4 bedrooms, 2 offices, and 3 baths on the south side of 56th street near Harper. Either or both offices could be used instead as bedrooms. Extensive renovation took place in 2009, including a new kitchen with stainless appliances, 3 baths fully redone, copper plumbing, all new Andersen windows, new tear off roof, and finishing of the lower level to add family room, guest room, laundry and storage room. The most notable differences with other "D" townhouses are a full bath on the first floor which is accessible from the hall, a reconfigured primary bath enlarged to accommodate a dual sink vanity, soaking tub and separate shower with glass door, and an entry/coat closet next to the kitchen. Recent updates in 2021-22 include new glass patio door, new furnace and AC, tuckpointing in back and in front, and a new 50 gallon water heater. Lovely southern exposure and private back yard with paved patio and garden beds. Parking space on the private drive adjacent to the yard. The location is extremely convenient to shopping in Hyde Park, the University of Chicago, both Lab school campuses, the lake and transportation to downtown. Owner is a licensed realtor in IL.
