Welcome to Unit 11L at The Waterford, a rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated and oversized lakefront condominium in one of Chicago's most sought-after full-amenity buildings. Spanning approximately 1, 600 square feet, this expansive home was originally configured as a three-bedroom and has been thoughtfully reimagined as a spacious two-bedroom with an open-concept layout. For buyers needing additional space, the third bedroom can easily be restored with a simple partition wall-offering exceptional flexibility. This light-filled corner unit features floor-to-ceiling windows and three private balconies with stunning views of Lake Michigan and the surrounding park. The entire unit underwent a full renovation in 2023 and was refreshed again in 2025, showcasing contemporary finishes throughout. The main living area flows seamlessly, enhanced by white oak hardwood floors and sleek European-style doors. A remodeled bathroom features a walk-in shower and a smart toilet, while the updated kitchen and generous dining space make entertaining a breeze.Six large closets, including a walk-in and a separate pantry, provide abundant storage. A rare in-unit washer and dryer offers everyday convenience. The Waterford stands out for its larger-than-average floor plans and exceptional amenities. Residents enjoy 24-hour door staff, valet parking in a heated garage, an indoor rooftop pool with sun deck, men's and women's saunas, a well-equipped fitness center, and penthouse-level party and conference rooms. Additional perks include guest parking, on-site management, dry cleaning services, bike storage, and a private storage space. The building is pet-friendly. Major building improvements have already been completed, including a full riser project replacing all plumbing, and the hallway renovation is set to be completed by the end of summer-offering beautifully refreshed common spaces for new owners to enjoy. Located directly west of Lake Shore Drive, next to Walt Disney Magnet School, this home offers direct access to the Lakefront Trail, Montrose Harbor, and express transit to downtown. It's also within walking distance of Wrigley Field, top-rated restaurants, grocery stores, and everything Lakeview has to offer. This is a unique chance to own a turnkey, oversized condo with unmatched lake views and luxury living in the heart of the city.
