Property Description
Located in an A+ Gold Coast location just one block from the lakefront, this spacious 1,200-square-foot vintage residence offers an exceptional opportunity to own in one of Chicago's most coveted neighborhoods. Set within a professionally managed boutique elevator building with timeless Parisian charm, this home occupies the building's most desirable tier. South and east-facing windows fill the home with natural light and offer views of the lake, a rarity in the building. A spacious entry foyer opens to an expansive living and dining room with hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace. French doors lead to a separate east-facing den or office with a curved bay window and built-in bookcases, ideal for working from home or flexible living. The efficiently designed kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher and microwave. The oversized bedroom offers a walk-in closet, an additional wall of closets, and an en suite bath. Originally designed by Fugard & Knapp with large full-floor apartments, this distinguished 9-story building was later thoughtfully subdivided and converted into condominiums. Amenities include a lobby-level lounge, a beautifully landscaped garden with dining tables, fountain, and barbecue grill, laundry facilities, and additional storage. Leased garage parking is readily available nearby. Rich in character and scale, this home presents an opportunity to build equity in a neighborhood celebrated for its architecture, lakefront access, acclaimed dining, shopping, and vibrant city lifestyle.
