Benjamin Marshall’s Elegant Gold Coast: A 1-Bedroom at 1200 N. Lake Shore Drive

This 1-bedroom in the Stewart Apartments at 1200 N. Lake Shore Drive in the Gold Coast just came on the market.

Designed by Benjamin Marshall in 1912, it only has 34 units.

This unit has been fully rehabbed with all new windows, flooring and lighting.

It has a custom O’Brien Harris kitchen with white cabinets, stone counter tops, a tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances.

The master suite has a spa-like master bathroom with wall-to-wall Carrera marble.

Unlike many other vintage units, it has a rare in-unit washer/dryer AND central air.

The building has a 24-hour doorman, a live-in engineer, a party room and a sundeck.

There’s no parking but it’s available for rent in the neighborhood.

This unit doesn’t have lake views as it faces north and west.

It last sold, also fully rehabbed, in March 2018 for $429,000.

The unit has come back on the market for just $10,000 more at $439,000.

Will a Benjamin Marshall fan snap this up?

  2. Gorgeous apartment and building. Surprise led to see a Harris O’Brien kitchen at this price point. Wish there were better pics of it.

  3. Classy unit in a beautiful building. The lack of parking hurts, and so does lack of a fireplace. But at least there’s in-unit W/D.

    I’m pretty sure this will go near the asking price considering the building and location. Probably would make a good weekend place for a rich couple.
