North Shore Luxury is 🔥

A lakefront mansion in Kenilworth sold for $14.5 million this week, the second-highest price anyone has paid for a Chicago-area home to date in 2025 and by far the highest price in the northern suburb in the 2020s.

Typical of the North Shore lakefront's hot market, the six-bedroom home on a half-acre site on Sheridan Road spent little time on the market. First announced in a July 9 press release, the property hit the multiple listing service Aug. 15 and went under contract Sept. 3.

The asking price was $15 million. The final sale price is nearly 97% of that. Jena Radnay, the Christie's International agent who represented seller Yoanna Kulas, also represented the buyers, who are not yet identified in public records. She declined to comment on them.

The property has 115 feet of private beach on Lake Michigan, with a glass-wrapped cabana building along the beach and stairs leading up the bluff to the mansion.

I have never seen this, have you!??

If nobody has ever reported spotting a UFO west of Lake Forest in Mettawa, that means the occupants' plan to keep it well hidden for nearly 30 years has been successful.

"It's intentional. We've kept a low profile," said Bob Hollar, who since 1996 has owned the circular house that looks like a spaceship at rest among the tall trees along St. Mary's Road.

Set on 5.3 acres, the 5,000-square-foot house has three bedrooms, outward-tilting walls and windows and a roof peppered with circular skylights that, when the light hits a certain way, drop sunbeams into the home that on Star Trek would have been used to transport Captain Kirk and others out to a new planet.

Hollar and Giles, retired from careers in healthcare that had them both at Abbott and her at Searle, have extensively rehabbed the home's interior, including removing a swimming pool that was in the center of the house and replacing bumpy, dusty textured wall and ceiling finishes with a smooth white plaster and yellowing plastic windows with glass.

They turned it from a look that was "Gilligans Island-ish," Giles said, to something more "contemporary and calming." A painter, she's particularly fond of an effect the angled windows have on the interior.
