680 N Lake Shore Dr

A landmark adaptive‑reuse residence built in 1926 and rising 16 stories, this Streeterville property blends historic character with full‑service condo living. The exterior retains period masonry and large windows while interiors range from loftlike studios to expansive one‑ to three‑bedroom residences with high ceilings, hardwood floors, built‑ins and extensive millwork. Units commonly feature oversized windows, formal foyers, generous closets, in‑unit laundry or laundry rooms, updated chef kitchens and spa‑caliber bathrooms; some homes include fireplaces, wet bars, dressing rooms and flexible in‑law or den spaces. Shared amenities read like a small vertical neighborhood: a staffed 24‑hour doorman and concierge desk, on‑site management and engineering, an indoor pool and whirlpool, fitness facilities, sauna/health club, roof deck and landscaped sundecks. Ground‑level retail and service offerings include coffee shops, a pharmacy, hardware store, dry cleaner and casual dining, plus storage rooms, bike room and on‑site leased or deeded garage parking. The association is professionally managed with strong reserves, relatively low rental percentages and pet policies that vary by unit. Located steps from the lakefront, Michigan Avenue shopping, restaurants and transit, the building supports both urban convenience and historic architectural character.
