Property Description
A rare convergence of beauty, elegance, location, and history is found here at the historic Pattington, where Irving Park meets the lakefront. This is an opportunity to live in a building described during its construction as "like a group of large private mansions with beautiful private parks binding them together in one social circle." (Inland Architect, 1903). This unit is on the market for the first time since turned condo in 1977, in a building with very little turnover, and retains its vintage charm and huge 4-bedroom 2.5 bath floor plan full of natural light with windows on all four sides of the unit. Original bathrooms are mainly intact, awaiting your choice of minor restoration or modernization. Kitchen has southern exposure and is very large for its time, and is a blank slate, so a chance to design your perfect kitchen. Original hardwood floors, mahogany trim, fireplace, butler's pantry, French balcony off living room, and HUGE living and dining room windows that look onto the beautifully landscaped courtyard. Building is specifically designed to be quiet between units and from street noise, and this unit, at inner end of deep courtyard, is very peaceful. In addition to the beautiful courtyards, the gated grounds include gardens, a playground, a patio with barbeque grills, and a combination of leased indoor and outdoor parking spaces. Then of course there is the Buena Park location. Steps from the lakefront bike trail, Marovitz Golf Course, tennis courts, bird sanctuaries, beach... Easy access to public transportation, and a 15 minute walk to Wrigley Field and the Wrigleyville scene, so close, but just far enough away to be free of the game day chaos. The American Institute of Architects has named The Pattington "Chicago's best courtyard building." It was designed in 1904 to show wealthy Chicagoans, who could live anywhere, that living in close community could be elegant, comfortable and graceful. This vision still holds true today.
