Property Description

An opportunity to own one of the few two-bedroom residences on prestigious E Lake Shore Drive, home to Chicago's grand pre-war co-ops. Situated in the coveted Drake Tower, the spacious 1,852 square foot floor plan offers desirable north views of the lake and park from the 33-foot living room and large primary suite. The 2021 renovation transformed the kitchen with modern high-gloss cabinetry, the best appliances including a Bertazzoni gas cooktop and oven, a Bosch dishwasher, a Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, and a wine cooler. The new primary bath was enhanced with marble and modernized with a walk-in shower. Unique to this apartment is a bonus room that could be built-out as an office or a large walk-in closet. This elegant home features classic waxed wood floors, nine and half foot ceilings, an original 1928 marble fireplace, and original hardware designed by the building's architect Benjamin Marshall. The SpacePak air conditioning and new washer/dryer provide modern conveniences. With only 68 residences, shareholders enjoy personal, white glove service from a 24-hour door staff and an elevator operator, an on-site property manager, a live-in engineer and full maintenance staff. Exclusive amenities include a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a state-of-the art exercise room, and a planted terrace. Parking is conveniently located in the attached garage for $200/month, and guest parking is available. Pets are welcome and there is no weight limit for dogs. Contracts are subject to board approval and 50% financing is permitted. The total monthly assessment including property taxes is $4,265.
