Ya know what? If this were in CA, at that priceā¦. Iād consider it(HOA fee is cheaper than my community too šµšµšµ) Sleek mid 80ās vibe, no Bougie Beige anywhereā¦ and that is a BITCHING rec room!
Windex? Thats what Costco is for. And cāmon, wiping down a mirror is very satisfying!
This was one of my "You Never Know What's Going on Inside a House," posts. I just came across it and it sold in 2022 (that's how long I've been doing this blog.) You've heard of the House of Windsor, well, this is the House of Windex. It deserves another look, and good luck to the current owner. It's a 1979 build in Oak Brook, IL. 4bds, 5ba, 4,256Ā sq ft, sold for $699k + $450mo. HOA. They took quite a loss- Zillow said it's worth $1.503m. So, let's see what they did to lose so much money on the sale.
It starts out nicely enough with gold trim. Look at the gold banister with lucite balusters.
Large living room with an interesting fireplace and a mirrored wall. I like the fireplace, except for that big white rectangle.
The dining room has gold mirrors added. Also a very large space.
But, when we get to the kitchen, it's completely mirrored- the cabinetry, fridge, island and backsplash.
Isn't this crazy? I don't know about you, but it's so hard to get things completely streak free.
Large half bath is gold mirrored.
The primary bedroom has a mirror bed and it looks like it's a mix of gold and silver mirrors.
This is a dressing table area with closet space and to the right is a walk-in closet.
Check out this bath. I'm getting dazed and confused in this house.
Off to the side of the bedroom is this nice sitting area with doors to a terrace.
This is nice and it looks like it stretches to another bedroom, too.
Look at the decor in this bedroom.
They turned a standard 3pc. bath into a mirrored wonderland.
This looks like a child's room with a little white car. No kiddy decor here.
Even the nursery is mirrored. When the baby stands up, there will be prints all over that wall. Is that the changing table?
Must be a guest bedroom. Those draperies by the bed. I've never seen such huge curtain rods.
Another mirrored bath with black fixtures.
Mirrors in the rec room.
Even a mirrored pool table.
I guess that you could call this a 4 car garage.
Patio in the back.
There's no data on the size of the lot, but it looks pretty large for a suburban area.

parents will not respect your autonomy, privacy, hobbies, anything and will act shocked when their child who is treated like a doormat actually stands up for themselves.

If youāre doing Social Activities Day right, youāll NEED another day to lie in bed like a wasting Victorian. Just with more chips and YouTube.
