Inside A $35 Million Mansion In Chicago

Want a home with a view? Perched on the banks of Lake Michigan in the picture-perfect town of Winnetka, this spectacular mansion happens to be the most expensive home for sale in the Chicago metropolitan area.

Take a look around and you’ll soon see why; the estate is complete with its own botanical garden (and a custom-built heated pergola) alongside a spa and infinity pool commanding gorgeous lake views. Head down to the lakefront itself, meanwhile, and you’ll spot a boardwalk, a private stretch of beach, and a boathouse, with bespoke changing rooms built into the bluff.

The estate also features a two-bedroom coach house and a heated ten-car driveway – but the real fun begins in the main house, which contains seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, and a dizzying array of reception rooms including a mahogany-panelled dining room, a walnut-panelled study and a sprawling family room adorned with hand-painted murals. You’ll also find a music room, reading room and a playroom, not to mention a media room and a wine cellar on the lower ground floor.

Parquet floors, crystal chandeliers and stained glass windows are on show throughout, with French doors framing those all-important views. The star of the show, however, is a magnificent tropical-themed party room – apparently designed as a glorious escape from Chicago’s harsh winters. Spending the winter in this house, however, likely wouldn’t be too much of a hardship.
