Nestled on leafy Elm Street, just off of Lake Shore Drive, sits this high first floor 2BR + Den/2BA condo that was completely renovated in 2019! Seriously, this unit is a JEWELRY BOX and will burn your retinas with its glitz and glam, so bring your sunglasses. Not a single detail was overlooked, and the sellers took extra care to preserve as many of the original 1890's details as possible--solid wood doors with new period-appropriate door knobs and hardware, hardwood floors throughout, and high quality millwork and mouldings. The bright, open living/dining room features 12 foot ceilings, fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling built-in bookcases. True to vintage Gold Coast apartments, this home has no shortage of closet space and storage. The central hallway is adorned with closets, a laundry closet (full sized side-by-side, not stackable!) and an awesome wet bar for entertaining. At the heart of the home is the eat-in kitchen, complete with a table nook, bar seating, quartz countertops, custom ceiling-height cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. Start and end your day in the primary suite, which has been well-equipped with ample closet space, a wall-mounted electric fireplace, and a primary bathroom with marble tile surround. Just off the primary bedroom is a den/office with stunning south sunlight, and leads to a private deck! The second bedroom and bathroom are great for guests. The second bathroom is the only room that hasn't been updated, but the green marble tile is so cool that it would be a shame to tear it out (the pictures don't do it justice, I promise you). Only a 4 unit building, and it's been meticulously and thoughtfully self-managed by a hands-on association. Parking is available to rent in several buildings nearby, and the seller has a transferable parking lease at 1110 N. Lake Shore for $300/mo.! The location speaks for itself--public transit galore (multiple CTA bus lines, 4 blocks to the Clark and Division Red Line Station), two blocks to Oak Street Beach underpass entrance, and all the best retail, nightlife and restaurants the Gold Coast has to offer. This has all the charm and amenities of a classic, million-dollar Lake Shore Drive co-op, for a fraction of the price and monthly HOA fees!
