This home in Chicago's chic River North neighbourhood is set just three blocks from the Magnificent Mile and six from the Museum of Contemporary Art. Design lovers and art aficionados will appreciate the number of galleries within walking distance, while foodies will be just as excited to eat their way through the fantastic gastronomic scene. If you'd rather do some home cooking, there's a Whole Foods grocery store on-site, so darting out for those last-minute ingredients is a breeze. The home itself is a welcome retreat from the busy city below, and, unsurprisingly, the views are incredible. If you're in town for business, you'll find this home a peaceful and quiet space to work from – its ultra-high-speed wi-fi and comfortable furnishings are the cherries on top.
