Overview

Own your piece of Chicago history - Welcome home to The Green Brier! Built in 1904 by Edmund Krause, along with its sister building (The Commodore at 550 W. Surf, completed in 1897). Designed to mirror high-end hotels in Downtown Chicago, this building positioned in a quieter, quainter neighborhood for those who wanted a little more peace and quiet. Perfectly situated, your new home is in a fabulous location just steps away from everything you could ever need. Apartment 606, a charming and beautifully updated vintage 1-bedroom unit, was home one of the 2 speakeasies in the building during prohibition in the 1920's. Combining classic vintage architectural elements with modern conveniences, you're offered the best of both worlds. As you step inside, you'll immediately be enchanted by the high ceilings, intricate moldings, and original hardwood floors that preserve the apartment's vintage charm. Large windows fill the space with abundant natural light. The living space opens seamlessly to the chef's kitchen with granite counters and an island with room for bar stools. The generously sized bedroom provides a serene retreat for restful nights, with natural light and ample closet space. The adjacent bathroom is tastefully updated as well. This unit also offers conveniently located in-unit laundry with lots of closet space throughout, too. Location is everything, and this apartment delivers on that front. Situated just blocks away from the lakefront, you'll have easy access to the sun, beaches, and the walking/biking paths up and down iconic Lake Shore Drive. In addition, everything in the popular and vibrant Lakeview East neighborhood is literally steps from your front door, offering an array of shops, restaurants, cafes, and entertainment options, ensuring you'll always find something exciting to do. Don't miss the opportunity to make this vintage yet updated 1-bedroom apartment your own. Pet and investor friendly building! Experience the allure of urban living, the character of Vintage Chicago, and embrace the convenience of a walkable lifestyle in this truly unbeatable location.
