Back on the market at an incredible price! This cooperative is as gracious as a typical elegant Hyde Park mansion. Known for their elaborate cinemas, architects Rapp & Rapp designed the first tall luxury building in East Hyde Park, the Jackson Shore Apartments. Built in 1917, the twenty-unit classically detailed building remains luxurious. Prominent Chicagoans were attracted to the convenience of an apartment, yet wanted amenities: large rooms w/handsome detailing & fireplaces. Here one could have all that - plus the convenience of a doorman & exquisite views. Apartments are beautiful; designed with a spacious reception room leading into the dining and living rooms. Between is the circular solarium, with the cachet of an "orangerie." Units feature 3 zones: family living/entertaining; a private bedroom area; a service area w/the kitchen, laundry, pantry & two maids' rooms. The exterior is an added bonus - a large private yard. This is truly a family home with none of the cares.
