232 E Walton Place Unit 3W

Chicago, IL 60611

Nestled within an elegant Streeterville block of boutique buildings steps from One Mag Mile and East Lake Shore Drive, and only a stone's throw from Lake Michigan, is a 3, 800 sq ft, half floor residence awaiting your vision. Facing south with serene tree top views, this c.1920-21 canvas designed by Fugard & Knapp is primed with many original architectural elements, including exceptional moldings, high ceilings, and generously proportioned rooms not often found in contemporary buildings. The original floor plan (almost entirely intact), offers a graciously defined but seamless transition from public to private spaces. The large entry foyer opens onto a generous living room to the south and formal dining room to the north. The home offers 3 large bedrooms, 4 full baths, wood panelled library, large kitchen with butler's pantry. To the north of the kitchen the "maids quarters" includes 2 small bedrooms, a full bath, laundry, and a sitting area which can all easily be converted into a family room, office or gym. An outdoor terrace, a rare amenity in vintage buildings, can be added off this area. Unlike similar buildings in the neighborhood, the property has a beautifully landscaped shared courtyard perfect for al fresco dining with friends and family. Designed by Maria Smithburg/Artemesia, the backyard is private and secure and includes a large gas grill, dining tables/chairs, lounge seating, chaise lounges, and a small children's play area with slide, swing, fort and kiddie climbing wall. A separate, sizable dog run is adjacent and easily accessed. Additional storage is available on the first floor. 232 E Walton is an exceptionally well maintained property, offering the full services of a 24 hour door staff that delivers packages, mail and groceries to your door as well as an on site engineer. Secure monthly parking is available in a variety of nearby buildings. Note that as a coop, property taxes are included in the monthly assessment.
