They just don’t build them like this anymore. And we love to look at them. This 4-bedroom, 4000 square foot vintage unit in 3400 N. Lake Shore Drive in Lakeview still has the original mahogany millwork, plaster and paneling. It also has all the modern conveniences: central air, washer/dryer and parking. What more can you ask […]
