A Vintage But New 1-Bedroom: 1366 N. Dearborn Parkway in the Gold Coast
This 1-bedroom at 1366 N. Dearborn Parkway in the Gold Coast came on the market in June 2016.
Built in 1926, this building has just 40 units.
This unit has been renovated with a new kitchen and custom paint.
The kitchen has white and dark cabinets, marble counter tops, Wolfe stainless steel appliances and Ann Sacks subway tile.
The wood floors are refinished and the Restoration Hardware chandelier in the bedroom is included.
There’s space pac cooling but no parking with the building.
I also can’t tell if it has an in-unit washer/dryer. Neither this listing nor the 2014 listing list a washer/dryer in the unit (or in the building.)
The 2-bedroom unit also currently on the market has one in-unit, however, so the building apparently allows it.
This apartment has north and south views.
At $399,000, is this a deal for a renovated vintage apartment in this Gold Coast location?
Victoria Mattera at Baird & Warner has the listing. See the pictures here.

“Wolfe stainless steel appliances”
I know that’s a copy-paste from the listing, but you corrected the “Ann Sachs” error.
WTF is with the realtors who tout things they can’t correctly identify??
Custom paint?!?! 95% of the place is painted white. How do you get custom white paint? I certainly wouldn’t pay extra for it!
“How do you get custom white paint? I certainly wouldn’t pay extra for it!”
White is the trickiest of colors (and yes, it IS a color.) There are books, blog posts, and entire pinterest pages devoted to the correct white paint. There are yellow whites, blue whites, gray whites and the white whites. There are even pink whites. Benjamin Moore has dozens of white paints to choose from.
By “custom” maybe they mean they used Farrow & Ball or RL or some other upscale paint?
