Life at Waterbury House is designed to feel effortless in every season. From panoramic rooftop views in summer to the warmth of fireside lounges in winter, every detail of this residence supports a lifestyle that feels complete, no matter what the weather brings.
Located just steps from Bde Maka Ska, Waterbury House offers a balance of natural beauty, modern design, and refined comfort. Here’s how residents can make the most of its signature amenities year-round.
Rooftop Pool Deck – A Summer Escape and Winter Retreat
Even in the heart of winter, the rooftop pool deck at Waterbury House remains one of the building’s most remarkable spaces. The year-round Jacuzzi offers residents a cozy way to unwind outdoors while enjoying sweeping skyline views of Uptown and downtown Minneapolis. Heated seating areas and fire features make the rooftop feel inviting even on cold-weather nights — a tranquil retreat above the city lights.
During warmer months, residents can stretch out under the summer sunshine on spa-style loungers, enjoy grilled meals at the built-in stations, or relax with friends in the open-air dining area. The Sky Lounge sits just steps away, offering a smooth transition from indoor comfort to outdoor leisure — no matter the season.
And for residents with pets, the rooftop’s dedicated pet area remains open all year, providing an easy, accessible space for daily walks without ever needing to leave home.
The Sky Lounge – Comfort for Every Season
The Sky Lounge at Waterbury House is designed for connection and comfort throughout the year, but it especially shines in winter. As snow falls outside, residents can gather around the fireplace, play a round at the poker table, or enjoy a drink at the bar while catching their favorite sports. The space is as social as it is serene, offering warmth and activity just steps from home.
When the weather warms, the Sky Lounge extends naturally onto the adjacent rooftop deck, where indoor comfort flows seamlessly into open-air relaxation. Whether hosting friends for a sunset meal or watching city lights sparkle after dark, the Sky Lounge remains the perfect all-season gathering place.
Fitness Center – Year-Round Wellness, Steps from Home
Staying active through the seasons is easy at Waterbury House. The fitness center includes everything from state-of-the-art cardio and weight training equipment to dedicated stretching and yoga spaces.
When winter weather keeps most Minnesotans indoors, residents can keep their fitness goals alive without venturing far. And when summer arrives, the indoor workout routine pairs perfectly with a jog or bike ride around the Bde Maka Ska trail loop, one of Minneapolis’s most scenic paths.
Resident Lounge & Fireside Spaces – The Heart of Winter Living
Minnesota winters are known for their quiet beauty, and even on the year’s shortest day, Waterbury House’s fireside lounges and warm interiors keep residents connected to comfort and light. The resident lounge feels like an elevated living room — complete with comfortable seating, ambient lighting, and refined finishes that encourage conversation and connection.
The fireplace lounge, located just off the main entry, is an especially popular retreat during cold months. Whether reading a book, hosting friends, or warming up after a walk along the lake, this space brings the essence of comfort home.
Even during warmer months, it remains a peaceful corner for residents to relax away from the rooftop activity — a reminder that Waterbury’s design values balance just as much as luxury.
The Waterbury Restaurant – Dining, Redefined
The Waterbury Restaurant offers elevated dining that fits seamlessly into daily life. With its modern design and chef-inspired seasonal menu, it’s a destination that matches the building’s elegance.
In winter, it’s the perfect spot for a quiet dinner without braving the cold. In summer, its proximity to the pool deck and Sky Lounge makes it a natural stop for weekend brunch or evening cocktails before heading to a rooftop event.
Concierge Services – Seamless Living Through Every Season
Waterbury House extends hospitality beyond the front door. The concierge services are available to help coordinate dry cleaning, package delivery, restaurant reservations, or last-minute maintenance requests — simplifying everyday life for residents year-round.
During winter, this means never having to wait outside for service or step into icy conditions for simple errands. In summer, it’s the added luxury of convenience that lets residents focus more on enjoying life by the lake.
Parking, Storage, and Everyday Ease
Practical amenities make Waterbury House not just luxurious, but livable. Heated parking ensures that vehicles stay protected during freezing months, while bike storage keeps summer adventures convenient.
All-Season Lifestyle by the Lake
At Waterbury House, every season brings its own charm. In summer, the rooftop pool deck and Sky Lounge define lake living with city sophistication. In fall, the nearby trails and courtyard provide scenic calm. Winter transforms interior spaces into elegant retreats filled with warmth, while spring renews the lakeside energy just steps away.
This all-year lifestyle isn’t just about comfort. It’s about connection. Whether hosting friends, spending a quiet evening at home, or watching the seasons change across the water, Waterbury House residents experience Minneapolis in its most refined form.
