3740 N. Lake Shore Dr. 11B seamlessly combines elegant vintage character with the contemporary amenities today's buyers demand. This thoughtfully upgraded, impeccably maintained two-bedroom, two-and one-half bath condominium offers a 2100 sf floor plan ideal for both comfortable living and gracious entertaining. Enter from a semi-private elevator lobby into a welcoming foyer to discover 11B's well-proportioned rooms - including the south-facing living room - flooded with daylight. Nine-foot ceilings with plaster moldings, hardwood flooring, original mill work, and the living room's custom zebra wood, art deco-style gas-burning fireplace will delight buyers who appreciate the aesthetics of a bygone era. The formal dining room is as welcoming for intimate dinners for two as for holiday parties of 20. A wet bar, wine refrigerator, and abundant cabinetry for storing glassware make entertaining effortless. The chef's kitchen offers a professional FiveStar six-burner double oven gas range, Miele dishwasher, and a new Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer with ice and water dispenser. There is also a pot filler and instant hot water dispenser, abundant prep and pantry space, quartz backsplash and countertops, custom cabinetry with full extension shelving, and marble flooring. An adjacent area extends the kitchen to accommodate seating/dining for six or more, with a convenient powder room adjacent, plus concealed-in-unit, full-size, energy efficient side-by-side LG laundry equipment. Separating public from private spaces, a central hall featuring original built-in storage gives way to two large bedrooms, both featuring two exposures and views of Wrigley Field and Chicago's skyline. The large primary bedroom offers ample storage, including a walk-in, organized closet, ceiling fan, and ensuite bath with steam shower. The second bedroom offers an ensuite bath with whirlpool tub, and is well-equipped to host guests or accommodate a work-from-home lifestyle with a custom built-in desk, abundant shelving, file drawers, and concealed printer housing. 11B boasts new, 3" fully adjustable LED downlighting, three new ADH-compliant toilets, newer thermal insulated windows, central air, an AprilAire humidifier, central stereo with Sonos components, and new window treatments. 3740 N Lake Shore Drive features 24-hour door staff and professional management.
