Water Views in the Big City
by INHABIT EDITORS
Come for the homes and stay for the scenery
at these urban listings across Corcoran.
There’s nothing like the simple pleasure of living by the water, and these six fabulous homes — from the Big Apple to the Windy City, the Island of Enchantment to the Crossroads of the Pacific — rise above, pairing proximity with picturesque panoramas from beside treasured rivers, lakes, and oceans.
New York City
One of Sutton Place’s greatest draws is its East River proximity, and this Vicente Wolf-designed three-bedroom co-op takes full advantage. Windows bless every room with covetable vistas, whether facing south in the custom kitchen or primary bedroom or peering east in the expansive living/dining room. Actually, the latter is so vast it additionally boasts southern exposures. Metropolitan eye candy includes unobstructed glimpses of the Queensboro and Williamsburg bridges, Roosevelt Island, Long Island City, and the historic Pepsi-Cola sign. Two south-facing bedrooms can act as home offices or media rooms for those needing flexibility.

Hoboken
Gaze upon unobstructed views of Manhattan from Battery Park all the way up to the George Washington Bridge, either from inside the two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath Hoboken apartment or from one of its two private terraces. This unit is located on the fifth floor, which has the highest ceilings in the building. Each of the bedrooms is connected to the en suite bathroom with a huge walk-through closet that can double as a dressing area. The larger terrace can accommodate a grill and a table for meals outside, and there’s an in-unit washer and dryer. Plus, the building is right next to the Hudson River, Maxwell Place Park, and Elysian Park.

Chicago
Luxuriate in this New Eastside two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit in the aptly named Regatta building, which is close enough to the water to watch the boats on Lake Michigan, Chicago River, and Navy Pier from the comfort of your own home. The apartment has been newly renovated, including two spa-style bathrooms (with a separate steam shower in the primary suite). There’s also a private balcony and an in-unit washer and dryer. The building has a large fitness center, indoor pool and spa, sundeck, and 24-hour door staff. Outside, you’re just steps away from the riverwalk, Michigan Avenue shopping, the grocery store, and Lake Shore East Park.

Miami Beach
If you’re going to live in Miami Beach, ensuring the city’s titular sands are close at hand (and foot) makes all too much sense. Sitting at Miami Beach’s southern tip, this three-bedroom condo gets you as close as possible. Your eyes look across custom marble floors and hone in on a winding window wall that’s the dictionary definition of panoramic. Soak up the Atlantic Ocean, Fisher Island, and the vibrant Miami skyline from sunrise to sunset whether inside or on a private terrace. A beachfront cabana is available separately for even nearer water views. The resort-style property’s amenities include pools, tennis courts, a full-service spa, and more.
