Description

ELEGANCE GALORE AND IN PRISTINE CONDITION!! This three bedroom, two bath condo on North Lake Shore in East Lakeview is breathtaking from the moment you arrive in the the barrel ceiling entryway, which extends into a long gallery perfect for displaying art. The ten foot ceilings and gorgeous original trim tell you immediately that this is not the standard issue city residence, but a home of such warmth and refinement that you will rarely want to leave! As you proceed through the gallery, you approach the grand living room, which includes original English oak paneling, expansive, ceiling-high, lead glass windows on both north and south walls, as well as a majestic WORKING wood burning fireplace with built-in book cases on either side. The patterned plaster ceiling completes the elegant feel of this unique room, where a roaring fire on a cold night feels like something out of a story book. The bright kitchen has stainless steel appliances, including a Sub Zero refrigerator/freezer, as well as granite countertops and recently replaced hardware. It has all the conveniences required by the discriminating chef while still harmonizing beautifully with the surrounding elegance.

Adjacent and open to the kitchen is the dining area, while across the hall is the built in bar...cocktails anyone? The large main bedroom continues the elegant feel with gorgeous original wood trim, TWO closets and an en suite European style bath. The second and third bedrooms continue the theme with the ten foot ceilings and original trim. The second bathroom is immediately adjacent to the larger of the two remaining bedrooms which includes a wall-to-wall closet. All bedroom closets have been finished with high-end organization installations within the last six months. Hardwood floors throughout (refinished within the last year) and an in-unit washer and dryer complete the picture along with location, location location! You are steps from the lake, and a short express bus-ride to the Mag Mile (the bus stop is steps from the buildings front door). Come visit this incredible home in the East Lakeview neighborhood, which was recently named by HouseFresh as one of the top ten residential neighborhoods in the nation. There is no parking in the building for this unit. Rented parking is available a short distance from the building.
