Enjoy sweeping lake views and vintage elegance in this lovely 1 bedroom-1 bath co-op apartment in the historic Aquitania. Built in 1923 originally as luxury housing for the booming Chicago film industry, the Aquitania brims with period architectural details and stately features and exudes the sophistication of truly a golden age of style and design. Starting from the formal reception foyer of the apartment you enter the gracious living room with its dramatic views east over Margate Park and Lake Michigan. Plaster paneling and crown molding add refined elegance and gleaming hardwood floors run throughout the space. Next, a luxury rarely found in today's apartments, a formal dining room. This space also features beautiful period trim, elegant wall and modern chandelier lighting, and can accommodate a large table and storage furniture. The wonderfully appointed kitchen features white Calacatta marble countertops, all stainless steel appliances, classic wood cabinets, glass mosaic backsplash, under-cabinet LED lighting, and a butler's bar complete with beverage fridge. The large bedroom features a walk-in closet and west-facing windows that bring in great afternoon light. The bathroom has all original fixtures including white subway wall tile, pedestal sink, medicine cabinet, and cast iron tub. A smart storage corridor connects the room directly to the foyer with an additional closet and large built-in storage and display unit. Building amenities include 24 door staff, mailroom, laundry facility, bike room, and additional storage rooms. Your monthly assessment pays for everything- building operating expenses and maintenance, management, gas, heat, electricity, RCN cable and Internet, and real estate taxes. Building is pet-friendly and close to dog parks and the dog beach. Enjoy life in vintage elegance with all the wonderful conveniences of beautiful Margate Park and the vibrant Uptown neighborhood. Great shopping and dining abound on nearby Sheridan, Argyle, and Broadway. You will be walking distance from landmarks like the Green Mill, Riviera and Uptown Theaters, Aragon Ballroom, and close to Andersonville. It is just steps to the lakefront with its bike trails and beautiful beaches. Easy access to DuSable Lake Shore Dr, buses and nearby CTA Red Line make commuting and getting around the city a breeze. Welcome home to luxury life in the Aquitania.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
