A 3-Bedroom Vintage Beauty with Lake and Wrigley Views: 3500 N. Lake Shore Drive in Lakeview

This 3-bedroom co-op in 3500 N. Lake Shore Drive in Lakeview came on the market in September 2018.

This building was designed by Robert DeGolyer in 1927 and has 64 units.

It has a doorman and exercise room as well as a common deck.

This 13th floor unit has 3 exposures, South, East and West, which includes Wrigley Field and the Lake.

The listing says this unit has new electric, plumbing and air conditioning, which is space pac.

Two of the bedrooms are en suite.

The kitchen has white cabinets, stainless steel appliances and what looks like stone counter tops.

The unit has a full-sized washer/dryer, which can be rare in the older vintage buildings.

However, there doesn’t appear to be any parking, which is quite normal given the construction date. How could they know that everyone would be owners of automobiles?

This property last sold in 2014. The listing described it as a “diamond in the rough” and said to bring your architect and designer.

Apparently, that’s what happened.

At 2500 square feet, is this a single family home alternative for those who want to live up in the sky?

Kelly Mead at Baird & Warner has the listing. See the pictures here.
