This isn’t the first heavy metal kitchen we’ve seen, but we usually spot them in uber-mod lofts, funky Bucktown contemporaries or, y’know, the International Space Station. This kitchen, though, with its stainless steel cabinets, countertops, sinks and backsplash, is located in a 1926 Hyde Park co-op building at 5842 S Stony Island Ave. Yesterday’s Carnival of Real Estate included a post on whether an extensive (and expensive) kitchen remodeling will up the value of a property — consider that when you take a look at the rest of the unit, which, despite some cool floor-to-ceiling glass shelving here and there, looks sorely outdated. We can only imagine an ultramodern Felix living here with an Oscar who still favors pink bathroom wall tile and paisley wallpaper. MetroPro Realty has the three-bedroom unit listed for $319,000.
