Flanked by the University of Chicago campus and the newly opened Obama Center, the location is getting a lot of buzz. It's also super convenient, with immediate access to transportation. The Metra station is within two minutes' walking distance, just beyond the Divvy bike station, while the #6, #10 and #28 bus stop is one block east. A short stroll/5 minute bike ride takes one to historic Jackson Park and the lakefront bike trail. There is ample street parking, and a garage space may be available for rent in a nearby garage. The building, designed by Paul F. Olsen and built by Albert W. Swayne in a quirky "Mediterranean-Gothic" style, has all the hallmarks of '20s charm and efficiency. The compact interior features hardwood floors, picture frame molding, 9' ceilings, an eat-in kitchen, a workspace niche, built-in cedar wardrobe and storage, and a vintage bathroom with penny floor tile, subway wall tiles and a deep soaking bathtub. The unbeatable low assessment of $364 covers heat, cooking gas, property taxes, water, common insurance and exterior maintenance. For location, convenience and economy, it's a standout. Sorry, no investors. Sold as-is. ## Location - **Address:** 1522 E 59th Street #3E, Chicago, IL 60637 - **County:** Cook - **Neighborhood:** Midway View - **Coordinates:** 41.787994, -87.58815 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=41.787994,-87.58815 ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Marie Levesque - **Brokerage:** Compass Real Estate - **Broker Phone:** 7734821917 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1522-E-59th-St-3E_Chicago_IL_60637_M98739-60518?f=listhub&s=MREDIL&m=12700676&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![1522 E 59th Street #3E - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/3ee9ddd691e44a4b11d134c4aa287e4dl-f2572214274r.jpg) ![1522 E 59th Street #3E - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/3ee9ddd691e44a4b11d134c4aa287e4dl-f3225277549r.jpg) ![1522 E 59th Street #3E - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/3ee9ddd691e44a4b11d134c4aa287e4dl-f542069348r.jpg) ![1522 E 59th Street #3E - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/3ee9ddd691e44a4b11d134c4aa287e4dl-f1670729435r.jpg) ![1522 E 59th Street #3E - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/3ee9ddd691e44a4b11d134c4aa287e4dl-f1733603695r.jpg) ![1522 E 59th Street #3E - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/3ee9ddd691e44a4b11d134c4aa287e4dl-f3048545757r.jpg) ![1522 E 59th Street #3E - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/3ee9ddd691e44a4b11d134c4aa287e4dl-f64897212r.jpg) ![1522 E 59th Street #3E - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/3ee9ddd691e44a4b11d134c4aa287e4dl-f4267007210r.jpg) ![1522 E 59th Street #3E - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/3ee9ddd691e44a4b11d134c4aa287e4dl-f3578828763r.jpg) ![1522 E 59th Street #3E - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/3ee9ddd691e44a4b11d134c4aa287e4dl-f3539912019r.jpg) ![1522 E 59th Street #3E - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/3ee9ddd691e44a4b11d134c4aa287e4dl-f3861097314r.jpg) ![1522 E 59th Street #3E - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/3ee9ddd691e44a4b11d134c4aa287e4dl-f1148553226r.jpg) ![1522 E 59th Street #3E - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/3ee9ddd691e44a4b11d134c4aa287e4dl-f2631811480r.jpg) ![1522 E 59th Street #3E - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/3ee9ddd691e44a4b11d134c4aa287e4dl-f999498483r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 12700676 | **Updated:** 2026-09-25 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 Midwest Real Estate Data, LLC.
