About This Home

As of August 2020

Hands down, the best deal in town. Enormous 3000 square foot vintage condominium in preferred tier of a classic pre-war elevator building offers classic elegance and a wonderful floor plan for living and entertaining. Enter the residence through a fabulously grand barrel vaulted gallery flanked by large formal living and dining rooms. In contrast to most vintage condos, this has a fantastic great room off the kitchen with enough space for a kitchen table and huge hang-out area. Three good-sized bedrooms include master with a renovated bath with double bowl vanity. Complete laundry station set up next to the wet bar off the kitchen. Separate den could be used as 4th bedroom if needed. Central air. The building is located on a peaceful street set back from Lake Shore Drive without any hint of noise or traffic. Terrific onsite staff. Great common roof deck w/grill, table, chairs and views. Walk (run or bike) to the park, lake, and all the neighborhood amenities steps away!
