Set back off the main street in a beautifully maintained, professionally managed three-story walk-up, this unit offers a quiet retreat away from traffic noise. Being on the top floor, it enjoys an extra level of peace and quiet. The home has been freshly painted throughout, and the bathroom features a new vanity, mirror, and light fixture. The kitchen and dining area are flooded with natural light from south-facing exposures - a layout some similar units have altered, but this one preserves the open, bright dining space. Three spacious walk-in closets and an assigned large storage locker in the basement provide generous storage. Laundry facilities are located in the building's basement (three laundry rooms available); no in-unit laundry is permitted at this time. Public transportation is easily accessible, taking you anywhere in Hyde Park and downtown via CTA or Metra. Walk to the University of Chicago campus and hospital, plus nearby trendy restaurants and shops. Cat-friendly building (up to two per unit). A wonderful opportunity for comfortable, low-maintenance living. ## Location - **Address:** 5551 S Kimbark Avenue #18, Chicago, IL 60637 - **County:** Cook - **Coordinates:** 41.79365, -87.594446 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=41.79365,-87.594446 ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Biserka Ferenac - **Brokerage:** Baird & Warner - **Broker Phone:** (708) 354-7355 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/5551-S-Kimbark-Ave-Apt-18_Chicago_IL_60637_M75842-40655?f=listhub&s=MREDIL&m=12743897&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![5551 S Kimbark Avenue #18 - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/acf1950a341566d13fb61b39ecb09931l-f1446577122r.jpg) ![5551 S Kimbark Avenue #18 - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/acf1950a341566d13fb61b39ecb09931l-f1848574885r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 12743897 | **Updated:** 2026-10-24 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 Midwest Real Estate Data, LLC.
