Description

On campus, serene, charming and airy, 1-bedroom 900 SF co-op apartment with hardwood floors; wood-burning fireplace; walls of windows with east, west and north exposures; and generous closets. In the heart of the University community, minutes from the gym, Regenstein Library and main quadrangle. If you work at home, you'll be tremendously pleased with this very quiet, pleasant home. Both the living room and dining room are spacious. The kitchen, which overlooks the beautiful backyard, has ample cabinet and counter space and all new appliances. Not only on campus, but also close to Lake Michigan; Jackson Park; museums; restaurant; and shops, including the much anticipated Trader Joe's that will open this Fall; public transportation; and access to Lake Shore Drive, I-94 and I-55. Come home and love where you live!
