INCREDIBLE SPACE & VALUE IN EAST LAKEVIEW! FIRST TIME ON MARKET IN OVER 50 YEARS!! MINT CONDITION, ELEGANT VINTAGE ONE BEDROOM IN A CLASSIC, FULL SERVICE, ART DECO HIGH-RISE!!! "THE EDDYSTONE" building was meticulously constructed right before the 1929 Stock Market Crash with the finest materials and highest level of craftmanship by the architects of some of the city's most beloved buildings. No two units are the same! There are only 2 units per floor...except on this floor, the unit across the hall from 16A was combined with another unit so you have a rare, private terrazzo floor lobby entry for your condo ONLY when you step off the elevator for true PRIVACY! The almost 18' long entrance foyer to this unit will blow you away with it's 9'+ barrel vaulted ceiling, arched doorways, gorgeous original oak herringbone hardwood floors and stunning mid-century style chandelier! Hope you have huge art or always wanted to do a gallery wall because there is TONS OF WALL SPACE for your collection! Truly turnkey condition with freshly painted warm nuetral plaster walls with incredible original wide crown molding and trim everywhere! Unbelievably stunning newly refinished herringbone oak hardwood floors in ALL ROOMS! Grand, graciously scaled living room has tall bay windows with peekaboo east facing views of lake and Belmont Harbor! The large dining room was opened up to the kitchen with a peninsula breakfast bar. Solid wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances and pretty granite countertops with full slab matching backsplash and under cabinet lighting. Lovely south and west cityscape views from this high floor, corner unit give you year round sunsets and Wrigley Field lights at night from the dining room, kitchen and bedroom. King size bedroom has walk-in closet and even original safe! Small hallway off bedroom leads to the updated bath with Sloan valve plumbing, soaking tub with window and retro gold fixtures! All of the windows were replaced with high-end Anderson period appropriate high-efficiency, thermopane windows at a cost of 55K!!! The owner of 16A LOVED hosting dinner parties & music events in this beautiful home and walking, biking, sailing and even cross-country skiiing on the golf course in winter! Easy access downtown with express buses around the corner. Truly perfect walking location to E. Lakeview's cafes, shops and restaurants. Well run, professionally managed association with full-time staff including maintenance and a 24- hour doorman, a first-floor gym, separate storage, and a bike room. Newly renovated sundeck with panoramic lake and city views + eating areas, common area grills and lounge seating. Rental parking available directly behind the building at 3200 N Lakeshore.
