Entire building is VACANT but ready to IMMEDIATELY OCCUPY OR RENT for your maximum flexibility. This double-lot, 55'-wide vintage home is in the sought-after East-of-Broadway Lakeview East neighborhood on a quiet, tree-lined street, steps to Lake Michigan, Lincoln Park, and Diversey Harbor.

Significantly newly renovated to provide the perfect balance of modern convenience and historic elegance, allowing maximum opportunities for a purchaser to occupy from one to all four floors. Each apartment currently lives like a single floor, single-family home. Blending a unique combination of Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau and Prairie Style architectural details, the striking facade displays both Flemish and English-bond brickwork and ornate ironwork. Bright sunrooms with windows on three sides overlook Surf Street and local architecturally significant skyline. Existing RM 6.5 (highest residential level) zoning also allows additional density and multiple additional permitted uses, including bed and breakfast, educational and cultural institutions, health care and religious uses. Multiple options for in-law, nanny, and similar accommodations. Large formal living rooms with abundant windows, soaring ceilings (10'+), original built-in bookshelves, stained-glass, and deep crown molding. Welcome guests to the gracious dining rooms with built-in china cabinets and unique arched ceiling and beautiful Art Noveau French doors. Large, eat-in kitchens plus breakfast rooms and walk-in pantries with separate laundry areas, and private exterior porches. Other features include formal entrance foyers and wide, spacious 24-foot-long hallways that serve as generous art gallery spaces. Opportunity for a huge roof deck. Stands away from surrounding buildings for natural light and breezes from all sides. New marble/granite bathrooms, frameless shower doors, refinished oak and maple hardwood floors. Of the 21 total bedrooms, 14 are king-sized, dual-window bedrooms with generous closets. Low-maintenance landscape with outdoor garden seating area.

Historic tax incentives potentially available as significantly located in both a National & Chicago landmark district. Designed by renowned architect Samuel Crowen in 1910, the building served as the Greek Consulate and residence of the Consul General during the 1950-70's. Strong 30-year leasing history. Owner-occupied for 20+ years, first time on the open market in over a half century. Designated Managing Broker-owned.
