Do you like to home ogle? Do you like driving by houses and thinking to yourself, “I’ve been in there before; the indoor pool was quite appealing.” Do you actually need to find a new home? Each week, we scout out three open houses in three different neighborhoods that look well worth the trip. [This week, we took a slightly different approach.]

4827 Purdue Avenue | Sunday, 2-4pm

The Price: $1,399,000

The Neighborhood: Bluffview

The Scariest Thing: How desperately we now want that black Ann Sacks tile in the kitchen, and that gorgeous upstairs media room.

 

5939 Monticello Avenue | Sunday, 1:30-3pm

The Price: $649,000

The Neighborhood: Lower Greenville

The Scariest Thing: That second refrigerator in the kitchen. We’ll forever be haunted by the desire to have a full-sized refrigerator stocked entirely with wine.

 

3401 Beverly Drive | Sunday, 1-3pm

The Price: $2,695,000

The Neighborhood: Highland Park

The Scariest Thing: The vaulted ceiling in the upstairs media room (another one!) is gorgeously gothic, but we’re more concerned about all that natural light that comes through the French doors. Once you became accustomed to it, how could you ever live anywhere else?
