Trade sameness for significance--live where design and service still set the standard. Celebrated since 1926 for its grace and planning, 3750 North Lake Shore Drive remains one of Lakeview's signature Beaux-Arts cooperatives by architect Robert De Golyer--home over the years to notable Chicagoans (Mies van der Rohe among them) and prized for its full-service lifestyle and indoor garden-pool. Inside this elegant four-bedroom, three-bath residence, a wide grand foyer sets the tone and opens to beautifully scaled rooms with classic millwork, tall windows, and lake-and-treetop vistas. The expansive living room-anchored by a fireplace and broad bay-flows to a bright sitting/music area that lives like a sunroom. A separate dining room welcomes gatherings, while a richly paneled den functions as a library, media room, or optional fourth bedroom. The kitchen offers an island, double ovens, generous storage, and convenient access to the service hall. The private wing holds a serene corner primary suite, a second bedroom, the paneled den/optional fourth bedroom, and two well-appointed baths; a separate third bedroom and third bath are set just off the kitchen-ideal for guests, office, or live-in support. Additional comforts include in-unit laundry and an included storage locker. The cooperative is known for its amenities and care: 24-hour door staff, on-site management and maintenance, fitness room, indoor pool set within a glass-topped garden loggia, children's playroom, party room, sundeck, guest suite, sauna, bike storage, and professional management. Its setting along the lakefront places you moments from Lincoln Park and the shoreline-near Belmont and Montrose Harbors, tennis courts, the golf course, beaches, playgrounds, the bird sanctuary, and miles of walking/biking paths-with multiple bus lines close at hand and neighborhood dining and conveniences just beyond your door. Vintage character, generous scale, and everyday ease in one special home.
