Open House Chicago

Cortney got a glimpse of yacht life and learned how her friend Izabel lives on her boat in the summertime. Then, Hinsdale felt a lot like Hollywood when I ran into palm trees flanking a $30 million mansion. Prepare to be WOWED!

This episode of "Open House Chicago" is one that she wanted to do since the beginning. For part of her childhood, Cortney grew up in the far South Side Chicago neighborhood of Beverly. She remembered it fondly for its tree-lined streets and giant, historic, castle-like homes. We visit two that look like they are ripped straight from the pages of a storybook.

When antiques dealer Joe Partipilo told me his home might be the only one like it in the universe, I didn't believe him until I took the tour. He's selling his $6.5M home which happens to be a 10, 000 square foot CHURCH in Roscoe Village. You can negotiate on the ancient treasures within, including Victorian era taxidermy.
