2-bedroom, 2-bath lakefront residence (1, 700 sq ft approx.) with absolutely sensational views from its 42 ft private balcony on the 30th floor of this premier building. This unique remodeling opportunity is a partially renovated "blank canvas" now ready for a new owner to complete the remodeling reflecting their unique taste and lifestyle. A portion of a total renovation has already been completed in 2024, which includes demolition and removal of all fixtures, built-ins, appliances, cabinets, tile and wall coverings with a brand-new installation of all new drywall and insulation and resurfacing of the ceiling. Also, the unit has recently upgraded windows/sliding doors (worth $50, 000) with sound-dampening slider windows with retractable screens. The full-length balcony affords spectacular and forever unobstructed views of Oak Street Beach and Lake Michigan; historic East Lake Shore Drive and the Streeterville skyline; Navy Pier and a full view of the Ferris Wheel and fireworks. Watch the annual Air and Water Show from your 30th floor front-row balcony seat! Further features include a split floor plan to provide privacy, in-unit laundry hook-up and one of the very few properties on Lake Shore Drive where the living room and all bedrooms face the lake. 1212 North Lake Shore Drive is a full amenity building with 24-hour door staff, attached valet garage parking for 2+ cars ($285 per month per car), EV charging, visitors parking, assigned large storage locker and an on-site management office. The building's 35th floor recreation center provides a magnificent year-round all glass 60 ft indoor lap pool, exercise room with new equipment, all-new locker rooms, two sun decks with jaw-dropping views and a newly remodeled hospitality room and catering kitchen. Superbly located in the Gold Coast moments from the Magnificent Mile and all the very best Chicago has to offer. Pet friendly for 2 pets (no weight limit). Please note, listing photos include a beautifully renovated unit (which sold for $850, 000) with the identical floor plan one floor below, to showcase what this apartment could like like after renovation.
