House with Sistine Chapel-like interior for sale in Illinois baffles Zillow Gone Wild
Everyone has different taste when it comes to decorating the interior of their homes. Some enjoy a cool art-deco style while others opt for a more minimalist look — it’s all a matter of choice.
A choice that the owners of this home for sale for $1.5 million in Burr Ridge, Illinois, took seriously.
“As you enter you will be welcomed by quartz flooring and custom made hardwood breathtaking staircase with beautiful crystal chandelier; big dining room with hand painted wall art; all custom made kitchen with huge island with quartz countertops; stretch ceilings all over first floor and second with beautiful design and lightning,” the listing on Zillow.com says.
Yes, that appears to be a replica of The Last Supper painting by Leonardo da Vinci.
Not only does the five-bedroom, five-bathroom house have artwork donning the walls that appear to be akin to Michelangelo’s handy work in the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, but it also has another high-end Italian feature:
Washable Versace wallpaper.
Of course, there are other features around the 4,500-square-foot home that stand out, according to the listing:
Two-way fireplace
Office with Brazilian cherry wood flooring
Gorgeous primary suite
Heated three-car garage
Basement with bar
Gym
And the pool is shaped like the Cloud Gate, the centerpiece sculpture at Millennium Park in Chicago.
The house captured the attention of fans on the popular social media page Zillow Gone Wild, some of whom were perplexed by the interior.
“Everything about this house is just..weird,” one person said.
“That would make a lovely home with a little bit of work, I think,” another commented.
“The gaudy opulence of it all,” one person remarked.
“Okay fine, but they have to throw in the bear rug,” another joked.
“Looks like a set from ‘The Righteous Gemstones,’” someone commented, referencing the HBO comedy series.
“The house itself is gorgeous,” another said. “I would redo several of the walls and the ceiling mural but everything else is really nice.”
“That corner of the basement reminds me of ‘Cruel Summer’. No thank you,” one person said.
“Not a bad price for that much house but I’m feeling kind of Catholic Church meets ugly Vegas hotel,” another compared.
And finally ...
“All the warmth and coziness of the Bellagio Hotel & Casino right in your own suburban cul-de-sac.”
Burr Ridge is about 19 miles southwest of Chicago.
