60 E Scott St APT 403, Chicago, IL 60610

Feel like you're in London or Paris when you come home to this light-filled elegant 1921 European gem steps from the lake in Chicago's historic Gold Coast with its coveted old-world courtyard view. Throughout you'll find nine-foot ceilings, original historic details, updated kitchen and bathroom details, solid (and can be refinished) hardwood floors, updated electrical wiring, glamorous high-end light fixtures on dimmers, surround-sound, fresh Benjamin Moore White Dove paint and the solid construction only pre-war offers. Sunny eastern and western exposures fill the windows in every room - including the bathroom and kitchen. The living room hosts a wrecently converted gas or wood working fireplace and dramatic bay windows overlooking the building's award-winning landscaped courtyard outfitted with umbrellaed tables and chairs for your relaxing, grilling or entertaining. The lovely windowed, oversized bedroom offers a wall of closets and home office nook -- and that golden-pink energizing light of each morning's sunrise. Substantial thick walls ensure a quiet refuge. The foyer's huge walk-in closet houses abundant storage. Only three other units share your floor. Both the lobby and party room have just been beautifully updated in this nine-story, well-maintained boutique building with long-time onsite husband-and-wife co-engineers. The home also comes with separate general and coveted wood storage units. There are available nearby garage options and permit street-parking, along with the No 151 bus almost outside your door and the L three blocks away. Walk to Michigan Avenue shopping, beaches, Lincoln Park, Northwestern Medical Center, world-class restaurants and cultural events -- and Chicago's very best draws. Tour this one while it's still available. It's the antithesis of cookie-cutter.
