A distinguished 19-story co-op built in 1927, this Gold Coast residence blends classic 1920s architecture with thoroughly updated interiors. Units are predominantly three-bedroom floor plans with grand public rooms, high ceilings, hardwood floors, and private elevator entries that open to individual foyers. Original period details — carved moldings, arched galleries, built-in bookcases and wood-paneled dining rooms — coexist with modern chef kitchens, marble baths, in-unit laundry and extensive closet and storage space. Common areas include a staffed lobby with doorman service, recently refreshed elevators, and planned health/fitness facilities; building services generally cover on-site management and package handling. Exterior features emphasize traditional urban living: private balconies on some apartments, storm windows, and nearby garage parking available for a fee. The co-op’s policies are owner- and pet-friendly in many units, with board approval required for purchases. Located on Lake Shore Drive in the Gold Coast, the building offers immediate access to the lakefront, high-end retail on the Magnificent Mile, neighborhood parks, and a dense dining and cultural scene, creating a lifestyle that balances historic character with contemporary conveniences.
