Recessed from the traffic and noise of 55th Street, this condo overlooks the scenic courtyard that separates the two towers at University Park Condominiums (UPC). Thanks to the many upgrades made by the current owners, it is a standout. The open kitchen has been remodeled with Studio 41 Shaker cabinets, granite counters, stainless steel GE appliances, including a double oven, Bosch dishwasher, marble backsplash, dimmable under cabinet lighting, 24" sink and Waterdrop undersink reverse osmosis system (water filtration). The main living area is defined by tiered, paneled accent walls and a sliding panel door that leads to the second bedroom. When opened, this bedroom can extend the main living space, serving as a dining room, office or den. The primary bathroom has also been stylishly upgraded with new flooring, tile, vanity, lighting and hardware. Throughout the condo, new vinyl flooring has just been installed for durability and easy maintenance. An assigned heated garage space and storage cage are included. Building amenities include 24/7 door staff, on site property management, outdoor swimming pool, exercise room, package room, sun deck and bike storage. UPC is conveniently located near the 55th St. shopping center (Walgreens, La Boulangerie, Ascione Bistro, Trader Joe's, etc.) and across the street from the #55, #172 and UGo Shuttle bus stop. Investor-friendly building.
