Want a piece of Al Capone Chicago history? Check out this really sunny penthouse condo with a Western exposure at the Green Brier! Beautiful ready move-in condo! Freshly painted throughout, hardwood floors, newer bedroom carpet, updated kitchen with new dishwasher and range, updated kitchen cabinets with bottom cabinets in a rich blue, and uppers are white with new hardware. Tons of closet space! BONUS - In-unit washer/dryer! The building features a courtyard and a beautiful interior lobby complete with vintage ceramic flooring and beautiful millwork. Truly a throwback to a time of elegance. This a spectacular home in a great neighborhood with great shops, restaurants, easy access to the lake and parks all nearby. For the past 11 years, the owners have used the condo as a second home. It was owner-occupied only 1-2 days a week. Interesting facts: Architect Edmund Krause designed, The Lessing and The Lessing Annex, (which is now the Commodore/Green Brier) in Classical Roman-style architecture which was completed in 1898. On the sixth and top floor of the Commodore was a ballroom that was used by Al Capone as a speakeasy during prohibition. Al Capone used to use the tunnel under Surf Street to move between the Green Brier and Commodore as an escape route. Both the Commodore and the Green Brier buildings are Chicago historical landmarks. The tunnel has since been closed off because of safety issues. A huge covered parking space is available for $25,000.
