The story
Unit UNIT 1709 at 1000 North Lake Shore Drive is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo in Chicago, IL with 1,250 sq ft of living space and 1 garage space, built in 1953. It is currently listed at $485,000, with a monthly HOA fee of $1,560.
Perched high above Lake Shore Drive in the heart of the Gold Coast, this beautifully renovated 2-bedroom, 1.1-bath residence pairs sweeping Lake Michigan views with a thoughtfully transformed interior. The sellers have extensively updated the home, including a gut-renovated kitchen and bathrooms, new wall A/C units, and the addition of in-unit laundry-a coveted convenience in a classic Gold Coast high-rise. The east-facing living space is filled with natural light and framed by expansive windows overlooking the lake, creating a spectacular backdrop from morning through evening. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features ample cabinetry, generous prep space, and an open connection to the living and dining areas. Both bedrooms are well-proportioned, with the primary offering excellent storage space and an en-suite bathroom. Residents of 1000 N Lake Shore Drive enjoy 24-hour door staff, valet parking, a fitness room, rooftop sundeck, on-site dry cleaning, private storage, bike storage, and professional on-site management. A pedestrian underpass provides convenient access to Oak Street Beach and the Lakefront Trail, while Michigan Avenue, the Magnificent Mile, neighborhood favorites along Rush and State Streets, and some of Chicago's best shopping and dining are just blocks away. A rare opportunity to enjoy the character and location of an established Gold Coast building without taking on the renovation project-just move in and enjoy the lakefront lifestyle.
