Overview

This generously sized 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit captures everything that makes lakefront living iconic. The recently updated kitchen features quartz countertops, shaker-style cabinetry, and a breakfast bar that anchors an airy, open-concept layout. There is room for both a dedicated dining area and a spacious living room - which opens directly onto a showstopping 30-foot private balcony. The views? Undisturbed Lake Michigan as far as the eye can see. Morning coffee has never looked this good. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout, and the bathroom was fully renovated in 2021. The HVAC system - replaced in 2018 - pairs with an Ecobee thermostat for effortless, year-round comfort. The building's amenities rival any resort: an outdoor pool, a sun-drenched sundeck perched above the lake, 24-hour door staff, a newly renovated laundry room, a recently refurbished garage, and a common party and meeting room for entertaining. One outdoor parking spot and a dedicated storage unit are included in the price. And the location? This is lakefront living at its purest. The building sits directly on the shore, with Thorndale and Osterman beaches right next door and the lakefront path ready for morning runs, sunset bike rides, or strolls with the skyline in view. Lake Shore Drive is moments away, and the CTA Red Line is just two blocks from your door. Whole Foods, Aldi, Mariano's, LA Fitness, restaurants, theaters, shopping, and Loyola University are all within easy reach. A little history...Before the skyline montages of modern Chicago dramas, there was Bob Hartley, stepping off the "L" and walking home to his Edgewater high-rise at 5901 N. Sheridan Road. For six seasons - from 1972 to 1978 - millions of Americans tuned in to The Bob Newhart Show and watched the opening credits roll: Bob crossing bridges, winding through downtown, and finally gazing up at the very building you could call home. That building is the Thorndale Beach Condominiums, but around here, everyone simply calls it the Bob Newhart Building. It was part of a wave of 1970s urban sitcoms that redefined city living - making high-rise life on the lakefront feel sophisticated, aspirational, and unmistakably Chicago. Newhart, a Loyola graduate and lifelong Chicagoan, put Edgewater on the national map. In 2025, the city made it official, dedicating the street outside as "Bob Newhart Way" in front of neighbors, family, and fans. This is more than a condo. It is a piece of Chicago's cultural fabric - with a lakefront address to match. Schedule your private showing today. Parking #23 and storage locker #55 included.
