Live the life of luxury with everything you could want including a grand ballroom.

Posted by Steve Sadin, March 13, 2012 at 09:51 pm

From elegant and stately mansions to modern, environmentally-friendly abodes, The North Shore is chock-full of one-of-a-kind homes.

Each week, Patch will feature one ‘Wow House’ that caught our attention. This week Patch has an offering listed Friday by Dream Town Realty of Chicago at 690 Brierhill Road.

Listed at $5.9 million, this dream home boasts 18 rooms including seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, nine fireplaces and a grand ballroom.

Here, take a peek inside, and see what this high-end price tag fetches in 60015.

Is your home a ‘Wow’ House? Want to nominate a spectacular, unusual or just plain cool property on the North Shore? E-mail us: steve.sadin@patch.com

The WOW factor may be that I believe this house has been on the market for years and the starting price was north of $10,000,000.
