Something old, something new, something borrowed — and of course something blue.
This house in Glenview has that last one covered in shades — we mean spades. The 5-bed, 6-bath, 9,000+ sqft estate stands on almost 2 acres. And if blue is your favorite color, this house is the one for you. Let’s take a tour of the different shades this home has to offer:
Pale blue shutters on all the windows, including the large ones overlooking the second-story balcony
Blue floral wallpaper in the sun room, surrounding the fireplace + built-in bookshelves
Baby blue cupboards + shelves in the kitchen, with a blue gingham backsplash
Slate gray-blue bathroom cabinets, including tandem sinks and a double-head shower
Blue doors on each of the three garage bays
Sparkling blue water in the backyard pool
If you need a break from all that blue, this house also has something green — the indoor golf simulator.
