Welcome to the Chicago Lifestyle, a Lakeview story. Perched on the 17th floor of a full-amenity elevator building, this meticulously updated 1 bed, 1 bath condo at 3550 N Lake Shore Drive offers a unique blend of serenity, style, and sweeping views that capture the very heart of what it means to live in Lakeview. North-facing, this residence boasts inspiring vistas of Lake Michigan and Wrigley Field - a viewscape that comes alive at sunrise, game nights, or during the iconic Air & Water Show. Inside, the thoughtful renovations and open-concept layout create a seamless flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas - perfect for both relaxed living and easy entertaining. The kitchen is sleek and functional, outfitted with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and warm maple cabinetry. Just adjacent, a dining nook enjoys natural light pouring in through a wall of windows. Bamboo flooring has been laid throughout, and modern updates to the bathroom - including a new sink and mirror - make everyday living feel elevated. The oversized bedroom is a tranquil escape with more dazzling views and room for a Peloton or workspace. Storage is never an issue, with ample closet space thoughtfully integrated throughout the unit. And with the building's recent A/C replacement in 2023, comfort is assured year-round. But this home's true lifestyle appeal lies in its full-service high-rise amenities: a newly updated fitness center, a panoramic rooftop deck with sweeping lake and city views, 24/7 door staff, on-site convenience store, laundry facilities, and extra storage. HOA dues include heat, cable, internet, water, trash, and access to all amenities. Valet parking is available through the building for $160/month. Owners must live in the unit for 18 months prior to renting, adding a sense of community and stability to the association. Outside your door, the magic of Lakeview unfolds: walk to Swift Tavern for upscale bites, grab brunch at Pancake Cafe, or meet friends for craft beers at DryHop Brewers. Grocery stores, cafes, and shops are all steps away. But the crown jewel? Direct access to the lakefront trail at Addison - perfect for an early morning run, biking along the water, or watching the waves roll in on a lazy Saturday. Safe, friendly, and active, this slice of Lakeview invites you to not just live - but belong. Come see what it means to wake up with the lake and wind down with the skyline.
