1500 N Lake Shore DR #12A Chicago, IL 60610

Prestige, pedigree, perfection. This treasured building was built in 1927 and designed by New York architect Rosario Candela, with Chicago architectural firm, McNally & Quinn together creating the grace and scale that are hallmarks of this co-op residence. The current owners completely re-thought and restored the approximately 4200 SF space when they engaged the internationally respected partnership of David Easton and Marvin Herman to complete a total renovation - please request a full list of updates. This home begins at a private entry elevator vestibule leading to a generous foyer, covered in English de Gournay hand painted wallpaper. You are invited to walk into several striking rooms, all with 10' ceilings. The living room and library face Lake Shore Drive, providing morning light and remarkable lake views. Intricate wainscot paneling and impressive crown moldings frame the living room walls and fireplace. The handsome pine paneled library boasts 4 built-in bookcases that solidly anchor the room. A gracious dining room offers south facing windows and 4 cabinets for serving pieces. Onto the white and carrara marble Christopher Peacock butler's pantry, bar and kitchen area with wine cooler, refrigerator drawers, a bar sink and walk in silver vault and pantry. The kitchen has west-facing windows and seating at the breakfast bar. There is a large Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer and 2 Fisher & Paykel dishwashers. The 6-burner Wolf stove vents out and also has a griddle. There is an abundance of storage. Immediately next to the kitchen is a comfortable den with an additional dining area for casual meals. A full utility center holds the laundry room and back office. A wide, barreled ceiling hallway leads to the 3 private bedrooms, which are all ensuite and generous in size. (Some A units of the same square footage have 4 bedrooms so this is possible). The corner primary bedroom offers 4 wrap-around south and west windows overlooking Astor St. Large closets provide ample storage. The luxurious bath with carrara marble also boasts a jetted tub, separate shower, double vanities and a private WC. An added surprise is the television embedded into the vanity mirror. Each of the other spacious bedrooms has seasonal Gold Coast views, generous closets and a stone bath.
