Transform this condominium into your dream home. Instead of settling for someone else's idea of the perfect home, this spacious condo is ready for you to customize and make it your special one-of-a-kind home with the finishes you have always imagined, as a full rehab is necessary.

Transportation is a breeze from this home, the University bus lines are steps from your door as are public buses, the Metra and DuSable Lake Shore Drive. Acknowledging that the condo requires a total rehab, it has been priced accordingly. This home is being sold "As-Is".
