4880 N Marine Dr

An eight-story, midcentury brick condominium built in 1950, this boutique elevator building contains a mix of studio and one-bedroom residences with traditionally scaled layouts and updated interiors. Units commonly feature hardwood floors or newer carpeting, renovated kitchens with stone counters (granite or quartz), stainless-steel appliances and breakfast bars, plus ample built-in storage and organized closets; bathrooms are frequently refreshed with reglazed tubs, new vanities and tile work. Shared spaces emphasize practical convenience and seasonal outdoor enjoyment: a staffed lobby, rooftop deck with panoramic lake and skyline views, bike room, dedicated storage cages and on-site laundry. The property sits directly across from Margate Park and within a short walk to Lake Michigan, bike paths and multiple beaches, with immediate access to express buses and nearby Red Line stations. Building operations are professionally managed with strong HOA reserves; assessments often cover heat, gas and basic cable or internet. Parking is handled via a waitlist for the building’s garage and nearby heated options; the community is pet-friendly and oriented toward active, transit-connected lakefront living.
