5555 N Sheridan Rd

Completed in 1929, this 19-story landmark co-op occupies a prominent lakefront site in Chicago and was conceived by architect Benjamin Marshall. The masonry exterior and period detailing reflect Art Deco and late‑1920s sensibilities; many residences retain original millwork, plaster moldings, picture rails and hardwood floors. Units are predominantly one- and two-bedroom plans with high ceilings, generous foyers, separate dining rooms, built‑in bookcases and pantry or galley kitchens—some units are duplexes and several offer expansive lake or garden views. Building services and shared spaces emphasize full‑service living: a 24-hour doorperson and concierge, staffed lobby, on-site maintenance, and a retail arcade at street level. Resident amenities are extensive for a prewar property and include an indoor lap pool, fitness center, club/party room, library/computer room, bocce courts, two‑acre landscaped private gardens with grilling and picnic areas, dog run, outdoor firepit and monitored door security. Practical features include elevator service, storage, leased garage parking, and the option for owners to add in‑unit laundry and central air; plumbing was updated in recent years. The co-op maintains use and utility charges in monthly assessments and enforces ownership rules such as minimum downpayment requirements and restrictions on dogs and short‑term rentals. Its lakefront location places residents steps from beaches, the lakefront bike path, transit, and the Bryn Mawr/Andersonville retail and dining corridors.
