About this home
Wake up to the lake and unwind with the city; this beautifully positioned 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers rare east and west exposures in one of Lake Shore Drive's most prestigious full service buildings in the Gold Coast. A 27-foot lake facing balcony showcases sweeping views of Lake Michigan, Oak Street Beach, the Air & Water Show, and Navy Pier fireworks, while two juliet balconies capture stunning city skyline vistas from the bedrooms. A gracious foyer opens into expansive living and dining spaces designed for both elevated entertaining and effortless everyday living, all framed by unobstructed lake views. Generously sized bedrooms offer excellent closet space and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. In unit laundry. Thoughtful recent upgrades include newly installed sliding doors in the living room and both bedrooms, an enhancement that would command approximately $80,000 at today's replacement cost. The home also features a brand new water heater, with all valves and electrical components recently upgraded as part of a $10,000 investment. Enjoy the best of Gold Coast living in a full service, pet friendly luxury building featuring 24-hour door staff, on-site management and engineer, a rooftop indoor pool with panoramic lake views, two spacious sun decks, a fully updated party room with indoor/outdoor seating and catering kitchen, fitness center, heated valet garage with guest parking, receiving room, and assigned storage. Smoking is permitted on balconies only. The building is financially strong with $3.6M in reserves and no special assessments. Rentals are not permitted.
