Looking for a vintage one-bedroom charmer with views and unusually low HOAs in Chicago's historic Gold Coast? Watch the sun and moon rise over the lake and fireworks explode over Navy Pier from the living room and bedroom of this pre-war, rarely-available unit. This 1921 light-filled gem offers 9'3" ceilings, original mouldings, expansive bay windows and hardwood floors throughout. There's even an in-unit washer and dryer. The era's solid construction guarantees an ultra-quiet refuge. Cross the threshold into the high-ceiling chandeliered foyer with coat closet. The elegant living room includes a working fireplace, lovely crystal chandelier and a wall of dazzling windows. Beautifully rehabbed, the doll-house-like but highly functional kitchen includes all new cabinets, countertops, appliances, backsplash and floors. The lovely windowed, oversized bedroom offers ample closet space and storage -- and that golden-pink energizing light of each morning's sunrise. Only four units per floor in this boutique, European-like building lovingly maintained by long-time onsite husband-and-wife engineer team. Relax or entertain in the award-winning landscaped and outfitted courtyard. Located on the two-block-long Scott Street, you're walking minutes away from the lake, coveted Astor Street -- and Chicago's most famous draws. Available nearby garage options and permit street-parking, along with the No 151 bus and the Redline. No dog weight-limit. Tour this while it's still available - it's the antithesis of cookie-cutter. Easy to show.
