Looking for a Gold Coast Retreat With a Private Terrace? 1510 N. Dearborn Parkway
This top floor 2-bedroom at 1510 N. Dearborn Parkway in the Gold Coast just came on the market.
The building was constructed in 1900 and has 18 units and an elevator although it doesn’t look like any vintage features survived from the building’s origin.
It also has something else rare to the Gold Coast vintage buildings, and that is parking. This unit comes with 1-parking space although I can’t tell if it’s a garage or an outside space.
The unit has skylights throughout and two fireplaces including one in the master suite.
The kitchen has granite counter tops, cherry cabinets and stainless steel appliances.
There’s a south facing private terrace off the kitchen with enough space for outdoor furniture.
The unit also has central air and washer/dryer in the unit.
Parking, central air, washer/dryer in the unit and a south city facing terrace, what else could a buyer ask for in this neighborhood?
Brad Lippitz at Berkshire Hathaway KoenigRubloff has the listing. See the pictures here.

Beautiful home! Appears to have a very livable floor plan with the bonus of the terrace. Looks to be a well maintained building with nice landscaping and gardens. Association dues are reasonable.
The combination of the skylights and the outdoor space make this a somewhat unique property. Even though it’s in a low rise building you have nice city views and the rooms appear to be well proportioned. All in all, a nice unit. A little on pricey side but in a good market it will probably go in the high 700’s
knock a 100 off and it gets bids fast.
I agree–this is nice but $1700 nust for taxes and assessments on this place does mean the price needs to come down.
