“Just Remodeled” Mid-Century 2-Bedroom at 3180 N. Lake Shore Drive in Lakeview
This 2-bedroom at 3180 N. Lake Shore Drive in Lakeview came on the market in October 2021.
3180 N. Lake Shore Drive was built in 1958 and has 176 units.
It has 2 fitness rooms, a large deck, a parking garage and doorstaff.
Ten years ago, in 2011, we chattered about a 5-bedroom unit in this building.
The poster known as “Architect” said the following:
I like this building; it’s a well-built mid-century modern structure w/spacious units and large room sizes. The two-bedrooms have a separate diningroom, bedrooms that can easily accommodate king-size beds, true foyers, house-size livingrooms, etc. It’s laid out like an old-fashioned coop building; two units per elevator bank is a luxury rarely seen in new construction. Assessments are high because the building is more expensive to operate, but purchase price is low.
This building looks like it’s transitioning from “dowager” to renovating professionals. Without that beautiful lakeview, I’d think these units are relatively good buys for long-term owner-occupants looking for spacious living quarters. Compare this building’s two-bedroom units to those puny new-construction dorm-like condo units.
You can see that chatter here.
The listing for this unit says it has been “just remodeled.”
It has east facing views from the living/dining room of Belmont Harbor and Lake Michigan as well as west facing views from the bedrooms.
The unit has an open concept kitchen, living and dining room.
The kitchen has white Shaker cabinets, black stainless steel appliances, and gold finishes along with an oversized quartz island with waterfall edge.
It has engineered hardwood floors throughout the main living areas.
The unit has a custom built electric fireplace in the living room and a walk-in-closet along with a new, separate laundry room with a new GE washer/dryer.
The bathrooms have marble floor tiles and the primary bath has a soaking tub while the second bathroom has a walk-in-shower.
It doesn’t have central air, but has window air conditioning units. There’s also garage parking available.
Listed at $409,000, it has been reduced $4,100 to $404,900.
Are the mid-century buildings turning over to a new generation of buyers?
