For architectural purists, designers, and creatives - buyers looking for unique properties, you will appreciate this beautiful vintage offering in a prized McNally & Quinn Gold Coast pre-war high rise. This unit, 1B, overlooking tree-lined Elm Street, is one of the few Maisonette apartments in Chicago, having it's own entry off of the building's lobby. 1B is a "gut rehab", in which the designer owner kept the best of the "old" juxtaposed with the modern amenities that buyers look for in today's market. The vintage details that set this unit apart from other units in the city, are beautiful crafted plaster moldings from the 19th century, original wooden flooring and doors, including two sets of original French doors, original hardware, arched ceiling and doorways and true plaster walls. The modern amenities added to the unit are double refrigerators, a European styled gas range, a bidet, a wet bathroom, new wiring, new windows, new AC, and new touch close handcrafted cabinetry, with only bottom cabinetry, as in keeping with today's more open kitchen design. The building has an amazing rooftop deck to extend your entertaining space and parking is available for rent, 1/2 block away. In addition, the owner has an office space in the building she may be willing to lease along with the sale of this unit.
