Description
This classic Gold Coast one-bedroom, one-bath residence on coveted State Parkway offers an exceptional opportunity to experience quintessential Chicago living. Whether envisioned as an elegant pied-a-terre or a full-time city residence, this home combines timeless architectural character with an enviable location. Nestled among some of Chicago's most iconic historic landmarks, the residence sits next to the original Playboy Building and just around the corner from the legendary Three Arts Club. Originally owned by renowned interior designer, Michael O'Malley, the home retains many of its original architectural elements, thoughtfully preserved to honor its history. The original fireplace, a true focal point of the living space, has been lovingly restored by the current owner. Unusually generous proportions distinguish the residence, with an expansive living room, oversized bedroom, abundant closet and storage space, and nearly 10-foot ceilings creating a sense of scale rarely found in a one-bedroom home. Gorgeous crown molding and dramatic dark-stained parquet floors create an unmistakably elegant Chicago aesthetic. The living room overlooks State Parkway from a particularly picturesque stretch where street parking is not permitted, allowing the idyllic view to remain beautifully unobstructed. The galley kitchen preserves valuable square footage for the residence's unusually generous living and bedroom spaces. The sizable primary suite provides an inviting retreat and connects to a generously proportioned bath which offers exceptional space and flexibility for future personalization. Additional amenities include an extra-large private storage unit and free laundry conveniently located just steps from the residence. The beautifully maintained building also features a wraparound brick-paver patio surrounded by lush landscaping, an inviting and sophisticated setting to relax and unwind. And then there is the location. From this exceptional Gold Coast address, the lakefront, Magnificent Mile, world-class shopping and some of the city's finest dining are all just moments away. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of historic Chicago architecture in one of the city's most coveted neighborhoods.
