1448 N Lake Shore Dr is a prestigious building in the heart of the Historic Gold Coast neighborhood. The building was completed in 1927 and designed by the prominent architects Childs & Smith. They claimed the Chateau de Blois as inspiration for 1448. The exterior is faced in Bedford stone and brick, while the spectacular lobby is adorned with faience French tile floors, oak paneling, and a hand-painted ceiling. The foyer of apartment 1A still showcases the same original, well-preserved faience tile floor. Step up from the foyer into this raised first-floor apartment with lovely views of the front garden and Lake Michigan. The home features 11-foot high ceilings, oak hardwood floors, crown molding, an original fireplace mantle, and grand windows to let in sunlight. The kitchen boasts high-end appliances and a charming butler's pantry, separating the dining room and kitchen with extra storage and a wine refrigerator. The primary bedroom is ample in size, with an en-suite bathroom and two closets. The second bedroom features built-in shelving, a queen-sized Murphy bed, and an in-unit washer/dryer. A fitness center was just remodeled on the top floor. A large storage locker will transfer with the home. A pet-friendly building with leased parking is next door on 1440 N. LSD. This is a professionally managed and service-oriented building. The building has completed a list of substantial capital improvement projects. The building has been meticulously maintained and cared for, including over 10 Million in recent building projects: boilers replaced, domestic hot water heaters and storage tanks replaced, all risers and pumps replaced, roof replaced, facade work, and updated passenger and service elevators. Rentals are allowed. The building has a rental cap. A historic Building Tax Freeze is in place that will freeze taxes for the next eight years.
