This light and bright, oversized studio condominium has much to offer. The spacious, smart layout has an entry foyer with closet. The living area is large enough to accommodate living, dining and sleeping areas. There is a full size eat-in kitchen and a private dressing area with a full wall of closets and space for a dresser. The views are lovely -- East views of the lake and Southwest views of the city. The floors are wood laminate. The windows have been replaced, as has the air conditioner. The Newport Condominium is Hyde Park's full amenity high rise offering an indoor swimming pool with summertime outdoor deck access, an exercise room and sauna (health club fee is $16.67/month), a receiving room, a laundry room, an on-site manager, 24-hour door staff and engineer, AND an association owned shuttle van for quick trips around Hyde Park. Yet another plus, the association is anticipating the opening of an on-site convenience store! The lake and park are at your doorstep. Shopping, dining, public transportation, the Museum of Science and Industry, University of Chicago buildings and the upcoming Obama Presidential Center are all within walking distance. And the bus that services the University of Chicago main campus is only two blocks away. All add up to the perfect place to call home!
