Feel like you're in London or Paris -- despite unusually low HOAs -- when you return home to this elegant 1921 European gem steps from the Lake and Michigan Avenue in Chicago's coveted historic Gold Coast. Turnkey after a meticulous and all-inclusive gut rehab, this bright home offers pre-war charm along with state-of-the-art modern updates. Throughout you'll see new thermal-pane Pella windows with premium custom shades along with new solid oak hardwood floors and thick three-panel doors. Solid pre-war, plaster-cement construction ensures a peaceful refuge. The elegant living room features a handsome working fireplace and decorative mantle, a wall of dazzling French bay windows with glimpses of the Lake and Stone Street mansions, and the 9'6" ceilings found in every room. The oversized bay-windowed bedroom offers oak crown molding, a custom-built 9'x 3'x 9' solid oak wardrobe, striking oak ceiling fan, and a nook that can be used as a dedicated work (or relaxing) area. A full bathroom rehab incorporates a 5.5'x3' light-filled window along with spa-like, high-end Kohler shower, vanity, toilet and fixtures, and Robin mirrored inside-and-out medicine cabinet. Not to be outdone, the updated kitchen includes all new appliances and refreshed cabinets, countertops, backsplash and lighting. There is ample storage throughout including a 7'x3'x9' foyer walk-in, customized closet. Owned by out-of-towners who only spent a few days a year in it over the past seven years, the home is in pristine condition. Only three other units share your floor in this nine-story Building lovingly maintained by a long-time onsite husband-and-wife engineer team. Relax or entertain in the award-winning landscaped and outfitted courtyard. The lobby and party room recently have been beautifully redone. The Building's location also enjoys a Walker-Paradise score including biking and transit. There are available nearby garage options and permit street-parking, along with the No. 151 bus a few steps away and the L a five-minute stroll. Imagine walking out your lobby door this summer to a shimmering Lake and Oak Street Beach beckoning you along with Rush Street restaurants, Magnificent Mile shopping, cultural and sports attractions, top-tier medical facilities and the 1,200-acre Lincoln Park. Tour this one while it's still available -- it's the antithesis of cookie-cutter. (The unit's like-new furniture, custom made by Thos Moser of Maine, may be purchased separately.)
