3740 N. Lake Shore Dr. 11B seamlessly combines elegant vintage character with the contemporary amenities today's buyers demand. This thoughtfully upgraded, impeccably maintained two-bedroom, two-and one-half bath condominium offers a 2100 sf floor plan ideal for both comfortable living and gracious entertaining. Enter from a semi-private elevator lobby into a welcoming foyer to discover 11B's well-proportioned rooms - including the south-facing living room - flooded with daylight. Nine-foot ceilings with plaster moldings, hardwood flooring, original mill work, and the living room's custom zebra wood, art deco-style gas-burning fireplace will delight buyers who appreciate the aesthetics of a bygone era. The formal dining room is as welcoming for intimate dinners for two as for holiday parties of 20. A wet bar, wine refrigerator, and abundant cabinetry for storing glassware make entertaining effortless. The chef's kitchen offers a professional FiveStar six-burner double oven gas range, Miele dishwasher, and a new Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer with ice and water dispenser.
