4950 S Chicago Bch Dr

Completed in 1929 and designated a Chicago landmark, this 22-story cooperative is an Art Deco residential classic on Hyde Park’s lakefront. The building’s façade and richly detailed public spaces recall 1920s craftsmanship; an ornate Art Deco lobby leads to a staffed reception with 24-hour doorman and elevator attendants. Residences are large three- and four-bedroom coops with high ceilings, original parquet or herringbone hardwood, built-in bookcases and period wood paneling; many units retain decorative fireplaces, wet bars and separate formal dining rooms. Apartments typically feature walk-in closets, extensive built-ins, laundries and updated kitchens and baths alongside preserved historic millwork. Shared amenities emphasize entertaining and wellness: a top-floor ballroom with outdoor terraces and grills, a roof deck, an indoor heated swimming pool, fitness room, storage, on-site engineering staff and valet/garage parking. The coop’s management historically bundles taxes, parking and many services into assessments, supporting a full-service lifestyle. Located on Chicago’s lakefront in Hyde Park, the building offers panoramic views of Lake Michigan and the city skyline, immediate access to parkland and a neighborhood known for cultural institutions and walkability.
