The six-bedroom, 11-bathroom home has been on and off the market for a heavy minute now, according to Curbed Chicago, who reported on the mansion in 2020. While there are not too many photos of the interior, the exterior of the home radiates with class — from the secluded garden to the crystal clear reflecting pool.

“Absolutely no expense was spared inside or out throughout this sun-filled mansion,” the listing on Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty says. “Grand in every way, but not overwhelming, the design is perfect for large scale entertaining as well as intimate everyday living.
