Sold for $5 million, about 1/2 asking which par for the course for these big houses in Lake County. Property tax at that price will be about $141,000 per year. Sellers took an absolute bath on this, $5m is probably what it cost to upkeep all these years. Still, a historic house. The king of the shore in Lake Forest. Congrats to the new owners!

It's famous for being haunted but the last owners didn't care and meticulously restored it. Apparently , a hot shower, running on its own, fogging up the bathroom mirror with "I'm here" written on it, was too much. The couple finally became overwhelmed by the project and divorced. But I, after all that time and money spent, living had to be unnerving in the extreme.
