Rawr.

It’s all in the details.

Behold! This home has a ceiling!

I have to know though: Do all the rad portrait paintings and the giant green table and chair set come with the $17 million price tag? Because if not, just forget it.

List price: $15,000

The weird thing is that it doesn’t look that bad in the primary photo:

This is one of those instances when maybe everyone would have been better off (or at least had fewer nightmares) if the listing agent had only included a single photo.

Hope you like long, narrow spaces.

And stairs.

And… shoes.

Appropriate, since this little beauty has had to be “shoehorned” into a mere 30 foot wide, yet still prime location on Chicago’s Gold Coast.

From the listing description:

Space is currently home to a private members only club with full kitchen, 2 bathrooms, storage and several meeting rooms.

Well it’s not quite so “private” anymore now, is it? From the decor, I get the feeling that this was a “guys only” kind of club.

You can even check out the full floor plan of this swanky 2,700 square foot pad.

Doesn’t really look like they’re the most organized club of all time, either.

This 8,215 square foot castle in Wayne, Illinois sold on Halloween for $1,000,000.

It sits on 15 acres.

Also: It is awesome.

Sadly, it has fallen into a bit of disrepair.

Here’s hoping the new owners will take good care of it.

Usually I try to mix things up geographically, but even though this home is just a few blocks away from the home we featured on Wednesday, I couldn’t resist it.

There’s only this one photo on the listing, but there is just so much to love about it. You’ve got the astroturf-covered front steps, the giant wall of tacky glass blocks that surround the front door, the paper notice taped to said wall, the large plants growing in the gutters, and the ominous outline of the home’s occupant just inside the door, looking back at the camera.

Winning!

Given the listing price of just $24,000, I assume that this home is in a rather frightening neighborhood. [Update: Confirmed. Murder risk 3x the national average, robbery risk 6x… yikes!] This might explain why the previous owner apparently left in such a hurry, scattering the contents of their desk all over the floor in their rush to vacate the premises.

What I really enjoyed about this (small) set of photos is how the rest of the house appears to be completely empty. Maybe the former occupant lived a very simple life and this was the only room they used?
