<\/p>\n

In a western Chicago suburb lies a four-bedroom, three-bath abode<\/a> with a bit of whimsy: a pagoda roof.<\/p>\n

The design tower also crowns the two-car garage of the home, which was built in 1965.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never been in a house like this,\u201d says listing agent Erick Coley<\/strong>, of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices American Heritage Real Estate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 3,408-square-foot home, in Wood Dale, IL<\/a>, is listed for $519,900. The homeowners had purchased it in 2001 for $376,000.<\/p>\n

The home was designed by Don Erickson<\/strong>, who studied under Frank Lloyd Wright<\/strong>. Erickson is also known for his design of the Indian Lakes Resort in nearby Bloomingdale<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This unique build incorporates cypress and rough-sawn cedar beams, plus grass-cloth wallpaper with gold foiling. The home spans 1.5 stories and features a living tree.<\/p>\n

The ficus in the living room continues to grow through the roof.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey wanted the exterior materials to come into the interior,\u201d Coley says.<\/p>\n

Naturally, the ceiling of each room features a cathedral effect due to the pagoda roof. (The architect also built a pagoda roof on his own home in Barrington, IL<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Two bedrooms on the lower level have walk-out access to a sunken rock garden with a patio. A wet bar is also downstairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone who wants this home is different,\u201d Coley says. \u201cThe owner has had lots of parties here, plus karaoke nights. It\u2019s definitely special. A collector would really like this, someone who appreciates valuable things.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next owner will have access to the Royal Oaks community\u2019s private pond, which boasts an island and is where many locals fish. The annual homeowners association dues are $300.<\/p>\n

Updates include a new roof, skylights, and sliding patio doors. New wood-laminate flooring was added in some of the rooms this year.<\/p>\n

The primary bath was reimagined with a new walk-in whirlpool tub, but the two other baths might need updates, Coley notes.<\/p>\n

Wood Dale is 25 miles northwest of downtown Chicago, and O\u2019Hare International Airport is only 8 miles away.<\/p>\n

Still, there\u2019s a \u201csmall-town feel,\u201d says Coley, who lives in Wood Dale. \u201cIt\u2019s really ideal for someone who needs to travel\u2014to O\u2019Hare and downtown (Chicago).\u201d<\/p>\n
