There is so much to love about this East Hyde Park rowhouse. The top floor residence has rosette crown molding, a balcony with French doors, and a beautiful shared courtyard with tall trees.

The three-bedroom, three-bathroom home is separated well into entertaining and living spaces. The bedrooms at one end of unit with the spacious living and dining rooms on the other. A long hallway connects the spaces, which has been transformed with custom redwood shelving into a library. Other noteworthy details include panel modeling, new chandeliers, ceiling beams, and light hardwood floors.

The pass-through butler’s pantry and kitchen are oddly shaped and separated from the rest of the home. Originally built in 1911, the layout isn’t surprising. Glass panels on the cabinets in the pantry and a bright, large window over the kitchen sink make the space feel special.

The unit has a balcony, but there’s also a shared courtyard. It’s incredibly charming with landscaping that’s more on the wild side: overgrown vines, leafy bushes, and tall trees. There are old wooden benches, outdoor dining tables, grills, and even a smoker.

Do you love 1629 E. Hyde Park Boulevard Unit 3? It’s asking price is $314,900 and monthly assessments are around $976.

There is a black leather couch and two chairs around a circular marble coffee table. There are green walls and framed paintings hung on the walls.
Notice the rosette crown molding in the living room.
There is a wooden table with six chairs. An exposed bulb light fixture hangs from a ceiling with white beams. There are three paintings of women’s portraits on the wall.
The dining room can open up to the balcony.
A narrow hallway with rows of books on wooden shelves. There is a white wall with picture frames on the opposite side.
The long library hallway with custom shelving.
There is a bed, a dresser, two nightstands with lamps, and a chair with a foot stool.
The master bedroom is at the end of the home and has plenty of natural light.
There is a tub and shower, sink, and radiator. The window has a blue and white stained glass pattern and the wallpaper is a blue and white floral pattern.
The bathroom features a pop of color with the wallpaper and stained glass window.
