1373 E 55th Pl., Chicago, IL 60637

Desirable mid-century "E" townhouse designed in the 1960's by the renowned architect I.M. Pei, within easy walking distance to the Lake, shopping, transportation downtown and the University of Chicago. This lovely family home on 3 levels offers 4 bedrooms, 1.5 bath, an open kitchen, wood floors on the upper two floors, sunny back yard, parking, and the trademark efficiency and comfort of the I.M. Pei design. Current owners have thoughtfully restored the mid-century character while offering modern amenities such as Advanced Window Corp replacement windows (2020), new tear off roof (2020), new skylight that opens, and improvements to plumbing. The kitchen has newer stainless appliances, updated doors on the solid wood cabinetry and a delightfully bright countertop. No central air but modular units make the house cool in the hot months. Efficient hot water radiator heat plus solar gain from south facing windows mean the heat costs are low. Samsung washer (2015) and LG dryer (2022) are included. The back yard is planted with no-mow grass, and includes a Monarch butterfly waystation garden.
