Distinctive ‘spaceship’ home on the market in Mettawa for $3.25M – NBC Chicago

A house that some would possibly say is “out of this world” is available on the market in a Chicago suburb.

A round residence dubbed “the spaceship home” in Mettawa has been listed privately for $3.25 million.

The three-bedroom, 5,000-square-foot residence sits on 5.3 acres within the northern suburb and is thought for its round form.

Known as one of many “most iconic residences” in Mettawa, the “round retreat” is located close to the Grainger Woods Conservancy and “provides unmatched privateness and a life-style like no different,” in line with its itemizing.

“Crafted from a monolithic concrete dome, this architectural gem has been reimagined with refined finishes,” the itemizing states.

From the curved interiors to the partitions of glass and light-weight inside to a pond, wooded trails island firepit and extra outdoors.

“That is greater than a home-it’s a sanctuary, a press release, and a once-in-a-lifetime work of dwelling artwork,” the itemizing states.

Proprietor Bob Hollar, who has owned the house since 1996, instructed Crains Chicago they’ve deliberately “stored a low profile.” Hollar and his spouse listed the house as a result of they’ve been splitting their time between one other residence in South Carolina and might be shifting there full time.
