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.

    "Dogs everywhere on leash. Plenty of grass. Plenty of exercise. Options to get out of the city easily."
  • Lori Roberts
    "It’s a lovely neighborhood and you see lots of moms and some dads pushing a stroller with their baby l/babies. It seems safe, but crime does come into the area sometimes. I’ve never seen that though."
  • Trulia User
    "There are plenty of people walking their dogs around this neighborhood so it will definitely be a common occurrence to see people walking their dogs"
  • Trulia User
    "Overall safe area. usually heavy traffic. Close to beaches, great for summertime. Close to best restaurants and grocery stores."
  • Trulia User
    "Great - wonderful - fantastic - superb - great - fantastic - amazing - excellent - running out of things to say"
  • Trulia User
    "This area is safe and friendly. I always feel comfortable going outside and walking my dog at anytime or walking home from the bars. There is a heavy police presence in the area so you will never be far from one. I am in walking distance of grocery stores and parks and coffee shops. "
  • Maralyn O.
    "If you live in the historic part the trees are wonderful lining the streets. And it’s quiet tucked away in some of these streets. High end shopping and dining in this area."
  • Dorothy A.
    "Transportation is easy and many services available. Walkable to many places. Major subway lines and buses, lakefront bike path, very walkable."

    "It is near the park and beach and safe. It has nice stores for shopping. It has good transportation to downtown museums."
  • Joseph G.
    "I find this neighborhood to be diversified and have blocks of different architecture, good maintenance. "
  • Renblank
    "11 minutes to get the loop via a cab for about 10 dollars. Red line is also very convenient and so it the bus."
  • Dan F.
    "Incredible proximity to the lake, mag mile, and city center. Amazing waking stress and close to the park. Arguably, the most desirable area to live in Chicago"
  • Madelynn J.
    "Sometimes crowded on the 151 bus, but they’re pretty frequent. I would leave some extra time. The red line also is super crowded at the clark/division in the morning so leave some extra time. Always better to have more time than not enough when trying to commute from this part of town"
  • Joseph G.
    "Convenient, but needs better scheduling during peak hrs. Also, bus status at each stop! Dangerous to be standing out! "
  • Trulia User
    "It is beautiful and clean and it has gorgeous views of the lake with little crime. All of the buildings are well kept. It feels like the upper east side of New York. "
  • KT
    "I travel a lot for work, so my commute is typically a cab to the airport. Cabs are readily available in the neighborhood. I prefer them to Uber / Lyft, which are also readily available in the neighborhood. Other than that, probably 95% or more of my trips are by foot."
  • W.S.
    "The festivals during the Summer months are lively, many are music based yet also have art related aspects to them as well."
  • K
    "I travel frequently for work. O’Hare is about a 25 minute cab ride Monday morning. Thursday night varies a lot but is usually 45-55 minutes. When I’m not traveling, my office is in the Loop, a pleasant 30 minute walk from my apartment."
  • Asya p.
    "Beautiful, well manicured lawns; abundance of fun places to grab food and drinks, lots of groceries, and shopping. Close to the lake. "

This area is served by K-12 Ogden International School, which has a 1+ rating with CPS -- the highest rating possible."
