Description

Breathtaking lake views take center stage in this rarely available, preferred A-tier residence at 1550 N. Lake Shore Drive. Framed by oversized picture windows, the gracious great room captures uninterrupted blue-water vistas stretching from the curve of North Avenue Beach to the fireworks of Navy Pier-a sweeping shoreline panorama that becomes the home's serene, ever-changing backdrop from sunrise through sunset. Approximately 1,400 square feet, the residence was originally configured as a two-bedroom and has been thoughtfully opened to create an expansive one-bedroom, two-bath layout, ideal as an elegant pied-a-terre or second home. The open-concept great room, complete with a dry bar with wine refrigerator, offers exceptional scale for entertaining while keeping the dramatic lakefront setting front and center. Classic architectural detailing includes crown molding, wainscoting, elegant paneled window airconditioner covers, and custom built-in bookshelves with a media center that add depth and character while allowing the lakefront setting to remain the focal point. Natural-finish oak flooring runs throughout, and recently painted interiors are illuminated by elegant, whimsical chandeliers that add warmth and personality. The spacious primary suite is complemented by a beautifully appointed Calacatta marble bath with a separate makeup vanity. The guest bath is finished in Irish Brown marble. Both baths feature Edwardian exposed-pipe chrome tub and shower fixtures with porcelain handles and distinctive sunflower showerheads. The kitchen features cherry cabinetry with glass-front uppers, granite countertops, and integrated panel SubZero refrigerator. Custom closet systems throughout provide exceptional organization and storage capacity. Located just steps from North Avenue Beach, Lincoln Park, Lincoln Park Lagoon and the lakefront trail, the home offers immediate access to one of Chicago's most beloved and iconic stretches of shoreline. The nearby roundabout and expansive Lincoln Park create a particularly welcoming environment for pet owners, walkers, runners, and anyone who enjoys an active lakefront lifestyle. This is a rare opportunity to own a graciously scaled, preferred-tier twelfth-floor residence in one of Chicago's most coveted full-service buildings, where the lakefront, from beach to skyline, defines the experience of Home. The building has recently completed the rooftop deck, plumbing risers, lobby, hallways, and elevators. 1550 N. Lake Shore Drive is a dog friendly building, allows in-unit washer and dryer, and has garage parking onsite. All disclosures, the one bed and two bed floorplan, 2026 budget and move in packet may be found under the additional information tab.
