This gorgeous condominium was the original model for the Abbey, the revered development in the Mansion District of Kenwood. It still looks like a model with grand space for the entire household. Imposing fireplace, great light, gleaming floors, granite counters, hardwood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, 3 full stone baths, big front balcony perfect for a grill. Back porch and parking. Remarkably efficient HVAC delivers low cost heating and central AC. This building was gut renovated in 2008 with such care and preservation of the exterior that it was awarded an historical tax freeze which will not transfer to the new buyer. Set in the neighborhood of fabulous mansions, its landscaped gardens and gracious balconies fit right into the block. It's an easy walk or roll to Z & H Deli, shopping & the express bus or Metra to the Loop. Just blocks from the Lake and the new Whole Foods. U of C is less than a mile away. Close to everything yet on a quiet and leafy block w/ easy guest parking
