1440 North Lake Shore Drive, Unit 12HChicago, IL 60610Price: $549,900

Spectacular Lake Michigan views and an exceptional Gold Coast setting create the foundation for a home that is distinctly yours. This 12th-floor, 3-bedroom, 2-bath end unit is offered as a renovation opportunity and priced to reflect its current condition, putting the focus on the views, generous space, and potential. A wall of east-facing windows showcases Lake Michigan from the living and dining areas, while the corner exposure captures North Avenue Beach and Lincoln Park to the north. Bedrooms enjoy views of the Gold Coast skyline to the west. The spacious layout features a 21-foot living room opening to the dining area, a pass-through to the eat-in kitchen, and a nearly 25-foot primary suite with a private bath and walk-through closets. A second king-sized bedroom offers additional flexibility, while the third bedroom, complete with built-in bookcases, makes an inviting home office or guest room. Parquet floors throughout, an extensive hall of closets, and a separate laundry room with a Miele stacked washer/dryer and utility sink add everyday convenience. The kitchen and baths are functional but dated, offering a clear opportunity to update and personalize. Bring your architect and designer-the setting is established, and the next chapter is yours to create. Enjoy full-service living with 24-hour door staff, on-site management, a rooftop sundeck with panoramic lake and skyline views, fitness center, party room, bike and receiving rooms, and assigned storage. Heated attached garage parking is leased. Monthly assessments include heat, water, cable TV, door staff, and exercise facilities. Pets are welcome with a 50-pound limit. Just steps from North Avenue and Oak Street beaches, the lakefront trail, Lincoln Park, the Magnificent Mile, and the restaurants and boutiques of Rush, Oak, and Division Streets, this residence pairs a sought-after location with the freedom to make it your own.
