Can you find the secret theater in this Illinois estate for sale? See for yourself
A French chateau in Oak Brook, Illinois, has a couple secrets hiding behind its elegant walls, and it can be yours for $2.299 million.
The five-bedroom, eight-bathroom estate is the epitome of elegance and sophistication thanks to it being designed by a French architect in 1996.
“Situated on an ultra-private half-acre professionally landscaped lot, this 8,000-square-foot residence offers complete privacy,” the listing on Sotheby’s International Realty says. “Designed for upscale entertaining, this sophisticated home is an extraordinary example of meticulous design, superior construction, and quality without limitations.”
The residence has a plethora of surprising features that dazzle including:
Wrap-around balcony
Soaring ceilings
“Dramatic staircase”
“Floor-to-ceiling windows”
“Italian Marble entry”
Heated floors
Pizza oven
Multiple skylights
Private bridge
Waterfront views
But the real kicker is the 13-seat theater that appears to be neatly hidden behind a large sliding mirror in the living room, the photos show. The theater room is perfectly designed like an opera house with gold-colored finishes and a chandelier.
The listing is held by Alexandra Shaban.
Oak Brook is about 25 miles west of Chicago.
