Set in a forest of tulip poplars, beech, and pine trees --it has great space to entertain and host overnight guests. With its walls of sliding-door glass, the house feels like a big screened-in porch. Inside is an open, lofted space with five bedrooms...Custom designed beach house. Designed and owned by a renowned Chicago architect, it's 275 steps from the beach. This retreat is the escape you need. Fall asleep to waves breaking on the beach and in the morning walk to Luisa's for local fresh breakfast. Set in a forest of tulip poplars, beech, and pine trees --it has great space to entertain and host overnight guests. With its walls of sliding-door glass, the house feels like a big screened-in porch. Inside is an open, lofted space with five bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths. Conceived as a year-round, low-maintenance house, with corrugated aluminum and black aluminum trim for the exterior, creating a glass and metal space that could open to the outdoors. A screened porch provides a quiet space removed from the main living area.
