Description

Wake up where the lake meets the skyline in this stunning 21st-floor residence at 5855 N Sheridan #21J, where endless views and direct beach access redefine everyday living. Perfectly positioned above Lake Michigan and Kathy Osterman Beach, this beautifully maintained home offers panoramic water and city views that are simply unbeatable. Overlooking the building's outdoor pool and the shoreline beyond, the view becomes a breathtaking backdrop from nearly every room. Currently configured as three bedrooms, the layout lives effortlessly as a spacious two-bedroom plus a dedicated office, ideal for today's work-from-home lifestyle or flexible guest space. A generous living area, a dedicated dining space, and abundant natural light throughout, create both comfort and versatility. A brand-new kitchen completed in 2024 elevates the home with modern finishes and thoughtful design, while a beautifully renovated primary bath in 2025 adds a spa-like retreat to the primary bedroom. This is one of the only buildings along Chicago's entire lakefront with direct beach access, a rare amenity that sets it apart. Fully owner-occupied with no rentals allowed, the community offers stability and pride of ownership, while remaining pet-friendly and inclusive of parking. An exceptional opportunity to own elevated lakefront living with views, access, and incredible updates, all in one of Chicago's most coveted waterfront buildings.
