The association is selling this big space for little money. The last owner started some rehab work and got lost along the way. With some cash and a lot of elbow grease, you could make this bright unit a terrific home. Some of the floors have been sanded and some of the woodwork ha been stripped, but come prepared to re-make this space into your own vision. The location couldn't be better. On a quiet leafy block, you are just steps or a roll from the Metra train, the South Side Cultural Center (where the Obamas got married), the beach, 2 golf courses and the lakefront path. This is a co-op, but they do allow rentals. There is a back porch for catching the lake breezes.
