Vintage 3 bedroom 3 full bathroom in historic Edgewater Beach Apartments. Exquisite park and lake views. Designed in 1928 by Benjamin Marshall, a native Chicago architect often described as a cross between Jay Gatsby and Florenz Ziegfeld. Marshall is renowned for several timeless buildings in Illinois including the South Shore Country Club, Blackstone Hotel, Merle Reskin Theatre, the Drake Hotel, Mayslake Peabody Estate, Sheridan Trust and Savings Bank Building and the Kaskaskia Hotel. Inspiring the design of grand hotels, theatres, residences and even factories from New York to Los Angeles, his notoriously colorful and extravagant lifestyle attracted an entourage of countless celebrities of the period including the likes of Rudolph Valentino, the Ziegfeld Folly Girls, Ethel Berrymore, Houdini, Fred and Adele Astire and so on. This vintage unit adjures a fastidious renovation and is priced as such.
