Pre-War 3-Bedroom With All the Modern Amenities: 504 W. Barry in Lakeview
This 3-bedroom in 504 W. Barry in East Lakeview just came on the market.
We’ve chattered about this building in the past, but it looks like the last time was in 2012.
If you recall, it was built in 1927 and has 10 units.
It’s a rare vintage mid-rise with an elevator and parking.
The listing says this unit has been “completely renovated” and has new windows.
It has several of its vintage features including high ceilings, French doors which lead to Juliet balconies, a wood burning fireplace with a curved mantle and original doors and moldings.
There are parquet floors in the living and dining room.
The unit has a formal foyer.
The kitchen is described as a “newer Chef’s kitchen” with white cabinets, stone and wood counter tops and stainless steel appliances.
All 3 bedrooms are en suite.
It also has features you rarely find in vintage units including a private balcony (as most pre-war buildings don’t have private outdoor space), washer/dryer in the unit and 1 car parking along with 1-car secure guest parking.
Be sure to check out the great pictures of the back of the building, along with the balconies and garages (more agents should include these types of pictures.)
The listing also says it has central air, but SpacePak is also listed and other units in the building we’ve chattered about in the past had SpacePak.
The unit also comes with a large storage room.
For vintage lovers, is this property a dream come true?

“All the Modern Amenities”
Microhood over a viking range!! VERY modern.
I like this unit a lot. Seems spacious. It would be better if there was a half-bath or one of the bathrooms was accessible without going through a bedroom. I suppose that’s less of a concern if one of the bedrooms is being used as a family room or study.
“It would be better if there was a half-bath or one of the bathrooms was accessible without going through a bedroom.”
I thought this too Mary. But when it was built in 1927, I doubt they were thinking about a half bath for guests like they do today.
I’m surprised it has 3 full baths. That’s pretty unusual to see a 3/3.
Beautiful! A unit like this would make me seriously think about selling my North Shore home and moving back to the city, if only it were possible.
