Wow! House: Private Wooded Retreat in Palos Park

If a house costs nearly $5 million, it better make you say, “wow!” Fortunately, this property doesn’t cease to amaze. This home is reminiscent of a private woodland retreat, made all the more impressive considering it’s just over a 30-minute drive from the heart of Chicago. The four-bedroom, five-bathroom home has all the makings of a dream house. It features an indoor pool and spa, screened patio with fireplace, paver terrace and a fire pit surrounded by woods and a pond. And that’s just scratching the surface. Those who consider themselves great chefs will be able to show off in a huge kitchen with granite countertops, a large center island and all the best appliances. More of a lounging type? Hit up the pool table, or simply relax in one of many family rooms.
