247 E Chestnut St

A midcentury boutique high-rise in Streeterville, this 26-story condominium building was completed in 1965 and primarily offers one- and two-bedroom residences organized with about four units per floor. The exterior is a straightforward tower form typical of the era with large window runs that deliver broad city and lake views to corner units. Interiors commonly feature hardwood or wood-laminate floors, built-in storage, walk-in closets, in-unit laundry hookups or washers/dryers in some units, wet/dry bars, and updated kitchens and baths in many renovated homes. Shared spaces include a staffed lobby with 24-hour doorperson, receiving room, on-site maintenance and engineer, coin or common laundry facilities, and private storage. A recently reimagined rooftop sundeck provides seating, dining areas, grills and a fire pit; the building also maintains an exercise room, updated common areas and secure bike storage. Parking is available through nearby garages or on-site arrangements; valet options are often used. The pet policy is generally friendly in listings, and assessments commonly cover utilities such as heat, air conditioning, gas, cable and internet along with exterior maintenance and building services. Located steps from Lake Michigan, Oak Street Beach, the Magnificent Mile and Lakeshore Park, the building sits in a highly walkable neighborhood with immediate access to dining, shopping, recreational trails and major medical campuses.
