WSO cribs: Beach House Edition

We’ve seen their New York homes as well as their Hamptons getaways, now it’s time to take a peek where our 1% goes to for some serious R&R.

Prestige overdose after the jump.

Come again? Your words make no sense. Enjoy the shit.
 

A great thing about Chicago is that you have a beach right in the downtown area, literally steps away from the Hancock Tower, the CBD and the Magnificent Mile. So if you own a townhouse in the Gold Coast/Streeterville neighborhood by Lake Shore Drive, then that effectively counts as a beach house.

Say you have an office in the Hancock tower, you can literally get out of the office during lunch break, take a few laps in Lake Michigan, enjoy the beach/people watching a bit, walk over to your beach home to relax a bit then walk back to your office again---all within an hour time!

In Manhattan no matter how much money you have you can't buy this kind of convenience.

Too late for second-guessing Too late to go back to sleep.

Chicago is also a tundra 9/12 months.

Actually I have been swimming there from May through October, it is warmer in the water than out. This year the winter was particularly mild. Global warming has its benefits too.
