20 E Cedar St

Erected in 1924 and rising 19 stories, this landmark Gold Coast condominium building by Fugard & Knapp blends historic architecture with full-service residential living. The property is organized primarily as large multi-bedroom duplex residences and generous single-floor plans, many featuring dramatic two-story living rooms, soaring cathedral or coved ceilings, oversized period windows, original moldings, ornate staircases and extensive built-ins such as bookcases and cabinetry. Interior finishes frequently combine restored vintage millwork, hardwood floors, marble baths and updated chef-caliber kitchens, while practical conveniences include in-unit laundry, abundant closet/storage space and modernized HVAC. Common areas and building services emphasize concierge-style living: a 24-hour doorman, on-site maintenance, elevator service, package handling and a fitness room. Exterior amenities are intimate and urban scale — a landscaped garden with grills, a roof deck/sundeck overlooking the city and lake, and monitored entry; leased valet parking is available nearby. The staff- and amenity-supported environment, pet-friendly policy, and proximity to Lake Michigan, upscale shopping, restaurants and transit make the building a quintessential Gold Coast residence that frequently “lives like a single-family home.”
