Dwyane Wade’s New Chicago Townhouse Is Baller (And Also Not A Big Deal)

By Will Brinson

Dwyane Wade recently made a new purchase: a $1.7 million townhouse in Chicago.

Here it is, in full legal viewing (h/t to the Chicago Mag via Peter J.H. Gaines) and in all it’s multi-million dollar splendor. Briefly, a description:

Fabulous 3900+ square foot luxury riverfront, newly remodelled townhome In Kinzie Park. Hardwood Floors In Living room, dining room, kitchen, stairs; slate floors in foyer & family room - opens to fenced yard on river’s edge. Fireplaces in living room and master bedroom; kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counters, wine cooler & custom wet bar. Balcony with gas grill adjacent to kitchen, river view Master Suite and Caesarstone Quartz Cntrs, marble floors, steam shower & soaking tub, closet organizers. Rooftop terrace w/great views. 2 car garage + 2 additional spaces at $40,000 each.

Now, it’s very easy to get all worked up when famous athletes who we want to play in our city purchase a house in said city.

I mean, it’s really easy — the entire town of Raleigh and every NC State fan spent about three weeks on a total freakout when Bill Cowher purchased a place in the neighborhood, even though it was obvious he was just getting closer to his family.

And it should be pretty obvious too that Wade has just purchased this house because he loves Chicago like any normal person born in Chicago (like Wade was) would love it. I mean, hell, if I were a multi-millionaire, I would buy a badass townhouse in the Windy City, just so I could go up and eat deep-dish pizza once a week. Seriously, I would. I love that place. And that pizza.

So, it’sno huge surprise that Wade is buying a house in Chitown and it certainly doesn’t mean he’s going to be come a Chicago Bull. Although maybe you shouldn’t totally rule it out just yet.
