The views from this light and bright, oversized studio condominium are lovely -- East views of the lake and Southwest views of the city. With a smart, spacious layout and copious closets this apartment lives like a larger home. The large entry foyer with closet could accommodate a bookcase or seating bench. The living area is large enough to differentiate living, dining and sleeping areas. There is a full size eat-in kitchen with newer countertop and newer appliances. The private dressing area with a full wall of closets plus a linen closet, offers space for a dresser. 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 membership required), 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, there is an onsite Go Grocer store for the convenience of the residents! 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! There may be the possibility to rent parking from the Association or another owner.
