Chicago, IL 60637

Live like royalty in an almost never available rental of this dramatic two story condominium overlooking the Museum of Science and Industry. Majestic 2 story windows flood the elegant living room with sunlight. The two story fireplace harkens to another time when these clearstory units (only a few in the building) were designed to look like the main rooms of medieval castles. Deep stained hardwood floors flow throughout this huge 4+ bedroom/4.5 bath duplex in the historic Jackson Tower. There is imported vintage woodwork throughout including beams, bookcases cabinetry and doors. Stained glass windows grace the library. The large eat-in kitchen has stainless steel appliances, white cabinetry and granite countertops. The Laundry Room/Butlers Pantry was originally the maids room and has a full bath. The primary bath was renovated with marble, a jacuzzi tub and a separate shower featuring deluxe controls. The walk-in primary closet has been outfitted with closet organizers. There is Space Pac central air conditioning system (electric blower) and replacement Pella windows throughout. This is an exceedingly gracious space for entertaining with plenty of rooms and baths for a large household. The Board of Jackson Towers is the official landlord of this unit, and although they will sign a one year lease (which could extend longer) there will be a contingency clause in the contract with a 30 day cancelation if the board needs to relinquish control. The listing broker would be happy to discuss the situation. This is an amazing location: across Lake Shore Dr to the famed 57th St sandy beach and the bike/walking path that extends from the South Shore Cultural Center all the way to Edgewater for terrific exercise opportunities. At the corner of 56th and Hyde Park Blvd are the express bus to the Loop and the 55th bus to Midway. Go west a few more blocks and you are on the campus of the University of Chicago. The Obama Center has already broken ground behind the Museum across the street, but much of Jackson Park will remain open for strolling and rolling. The Hyde Park Shopping Center is a few blocks away with the Walgreen's, Trader Joes and wonderful restaurant/cafe options. Also close are the Whole Foods and Marshalls and the foodie destinations on 53rd St. The Metra to the Loop and to the beaches of Indiana is just two short blocks away. Doormen and maintenance crew onsite. This building is known for its wonderful service. It's a great opportunity to live grandly at a price you might pay for a walk-up. And your heat is included! $350 move-in fee payable to the building. $150 lease fee payable to management. Basic credit report by Thomas Reports required. Board members will meet with tenant applicant before acceptance. Move-in Monday -Friday 8am-5pm
