Incredible price improvement!! Exclusively private and immaculately renovated for the refined homeowner, this 3 bed/4 bath, approx. 2,950-square-foot duplex maisonette, located in the iconic Marshall and Fox building at 1200 N. Lake Shore Drive in the Gold Coast, lives like a single-family home-but with all of the luxuries you expect from a highly sophisticated condo building. Benjamin Marshall and Charles Fox, the celebrated architects behind The Drake and the Edgewater Beach Hotel, originally erected the highly intimate, 12-story building in 1912 for prominent Chicago families. A proper maisonette, unit M5 has two points of entry: through the building's lobby or via a private entrance on Stone Street. Inside, an open floor plan with generously proportioned living and entertaining spaces will undoubtedly appeal to the modern homebuyer, beginning with a stately foyer that teases the first-class finishes that can be found throughout. At its center, the main level features a large great room that encompasses both a formal dining space and a light-filled living room with built-in wet bar, both of which find elevation from espresso hardwood floors, grasscloth wallcoverings and timelessly chic light fixtures. The first floor also features a stunning, all-white galley kitchen with custom cabinetry, high-end Italian countertops, a seamless slab backsplash and Viking appliances, plus a pretty powder room and a mudroom that affords direct access to the garage. Upstairs, three spacious, en-suite bedrooms unfold all on one level, plus a handsome home office and second-floor laundry. The primary bedroom receives wonderful natural light thanks to its corner position, and features a gorgeous en-suite bath with a dual vanity, a glass-encased spa shower and a private water closet. Impressively polished from end to end, this home also boasts new windows, custom window treatments, custom closets and continuous hardwood floors throughout. Treetops views and frontage on quiet Stone Street provide the best of all worlds with the home being just steps from the lakefront, but residing on a sleepy hidden block. Posh building amenities include professional management, full-time door and maintenance staff, a receiving room, and a beautiful roof deck with lounge chairs, dining tables, a grill and panoramic lake views. Additional recent building improvements include a complete renovation of the marble lobby, elevator replacement, and boiler replacement. Turnkey, SFH-style living with the convenience and security of a full-service building, all within walking distance of Lincoln Park, Oak Street Beach, Division Street Farmers Market and the Mag Mile-you truly can have it all. (This is a pet-friendly building with a private entrance for quick and easy lakefront walks. Leased garage parking is available steps from the back door. Fully furnished option available.)
