A seven-story cooperative constructed in 1924, this vintage low-rise presents traditional 1920s architecture with characteristic masonry facades and large Palladian windows. Unit types are primarily one-bedroom, one-bath residences and a handful of corner and penthouse plans that emphasize daylight and views. Interiors commonly retain period details—hardwood floors, original millwork and high ceilings—alongside selectively updated kitchens and windows. Shared building features are modest and practical: elevator service to upper floors, on-site storage rooms, a communal laundry facility, and professionally managed co-op operations with board approval required for sales. Monthly assessments typically bundle real estate taxes, heat, cooking gas and general maintenance; some listings note owner-occupant residency rules and cash-purchase preferences or financing restrictions. Parking is handled via permit street parking or nearby rental options rather than a private garage. The property sits immediately adjacent to Rainbow Beach Park and within walking distance of Lake Michigan, local Metra and CTA transit stops, recreational courts and trails, making the setting both park-facing and transit-accessible within Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood.
