Description
Timeless, transitional and endlessly elegant. 199 E. Lake Shore Drive, unit 3, is a 4,500-square-foot, 4 bed/4.5 bath lakefront home with two terraces and a large private deck – an unheard of feature for a landmark residential building such as this – plus two prime parking spaces in an attached garage that are included in the price. Designed by renowned architect Benjamin Marshall and positioned at LSD’s iconic dogleg bend by Oak Street Beach, 199 is a highly sought-after co-op building for its Beaux Arts beauty, pedigree, and privacy (only 13 units over 11 floors). Professionally updated, designer-appointed and accessed by a private elevator foyer, this spacious unit features high-end fixtures and finishes throughout, hardwood floors, 10-foot ceilings, and expansive views of the lake, park, and beach. Accessed via a private entry, the floor plan begins with a formal foyer with double coat closets that leads to the home’s open-concept main living and entertaining spaces: a stately living room with exquisite millwork details and a bow window that overlooks the lake, a handsome family room with beautiful built-ins and fireplace, and a classic dining room that can accommodate large dinner parties. The light-filled chef’s kitchen by de Giulio features custom cabinetry, natural stone countertops, professional-grade appliances, a long island with counter seating, and a breakfast room with a built-in desk that effortlessly connects to the home’s super rare 29′ x 19′ back deck with built-in planter boxes. All three of this home’s gorgeous secondary bedrooms feature unique design details, deep closets (two are walk-ins), and full ensuite baths, and two of the bedrooms share a south-facing terrace. (Note: One of the secondary bedrooms is currently styled as den/home office.) The luxurious primary suite faces the lake and features a wall of custom wardrobes, three walk-in closets, its own private terrace, and a hotel-worthy ensuite bath with a custom vanity, a standalone shower, and a soaking tub. Additional callout details include designer wallcoverings and window treatments, antique and contemporary statement lighting, an in-unit laundry room, and abundant storage. Building amenities include a design-forward lobby, an exercise facility, a bike room, and additional storage space for each homeowner downstairs. Better still, this pet-friendly building comes complete with uniformed door staff, two full-time engineers, and onsite management to provide residents with the highest level of security, service, and convenience. Moments from the beach, the Mag Mile and world-class restaurants, 199 E. Lake Shore Drive, unit 3, is turnkey sophistication in one of the most prestigious residential buildings in Chicago.
