This 2-bedroom in The New York Private Residences at 3660 N. Lake Shore Drive in East Lakeview came on the market in October 2023.
Built in 1987, the New York Private Residences was originally an apartment building. It has 594 units and attached garage parking. It was converted into condos in 2000.

This unit is on the 42nd floor, which is a penthouse level. The listing says units on the penthouse levels, above the 40th floor, rarely come on the market.
It has been “beautifully renovated” and has hardwood floors throughout.

The kitchen has new tall crisp white shaker cabinets, Carrera quartz countertops with a breakfast bar, a glass backsplash and stainless steel appliances.
The listing says the primary bedroom fits a king bed, has a walk-in-closet and an en suite bathroom with a walk-in-shower.
There is an Elfa closet system and quartz window ledges.
The unit has “never to be obstructed” views of the Lake, harbor and city.
It also has two balconies with lake views, including one from the second bedroom.
The unit has some of the features buyers look for including central air and deeded parking and storage are included. However, there is no washer/dryer in the unit but the listing indicated that a washer/dryer is permitted in this floor plan.
The listing says the building has $2.4 million in reserves, with no specials pending or planned.
This building is near the shops and restaurants of East Lakeview and Uptown and is across the street from the Marovitz Golf Course and the Bill Jarvis Migratory Bird Sanctuary. There are numerous bus lines and public transportation nearby.
