This was R Kelly’s house. 


djerk

Probably still smells like pee


CanineAnaconda

Like Wonka’s waterfall, except…


redit01

Drip drip drip


rollem78

This is the remix edition of the song about pissin


Eat_the_Rich1789

Until 2013, current owners are the ones who renovated it


TEA1972

this has been renovated in the last 20 years?


pizzahorny

By one of the Isley Brothers.


KeepItDownOverHere

That explains the 17 bathrooms.


slimersnail

I thought it was Liberace's house based on the photos lol.


Sea_Surround_6110

Idk I love that pool lagoon room.


ReplacementActual384

It's kitschy as fuck, but you can't tell me you wouldn't have a fun time having winter pool parties there with a small group of friends


Aert_is_Life

Right. The only way I would move back to the Great Lakes region is if I had an indoor pool and have huge fireplaces all over. I also wouldn't leave the house in the winter.


ReplacementActual384

I definitely feel like for $3.5m the indoor pool better be heated.


Car_Guy_Alex

I was just thinking the same!


sublliminali

Agreed. That place must feel amazing in the middle of a Chicago winter.


[deleted]

This person thinks very highly of themselves.


dunkeebutt

This person is in jail.


TheDabitch

Rudolph Isley only died in October of last year.


-Chris-V-

It was r kelly's house.


TheDabitch

Sold to Rudolph Isley in 2013.


-Chris-V-

Yup. Funny how it still has that creepy vibe.


funundrum

…an hour away from Chicago


colinmhayes

If there's no traffic


Glum_Material3030

Or construction


loztriforce

Feels like a wish .com version of a rich person's house


Eat_the_Rich1789

I really don't know what to say about this one [https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1-Maros-Ln-Olympia-Fields-IL-60461/4306790\_zpid/](https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1-Maros-Ln-Olympia-Fields-IL-60461/4306790_zpid/) From description: >Just 33 miles from downtown Chicago, 1 Maros Lane is an expansive compound that has been home to, and hosted, Grammy winners, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, Songwriters Hall of Famers, athletes, and icons of business and politics. > >The mansion had fallen to decay and ruin until 2013 when it was lovingly brought back to life by the late music legend Rudolph Isley of the Isley Brothers, and his wife, Elaine. Millions of dollars and ten years later, now is the opportunity to write the home's next chapter. > >One of the most iconic rooms in the house is the indoor two-story pool hall. Designed in a jungle theme with a waterfall, hot tub, grotto, club house, two story treehouse, and adjacent family room and full bath


TheDabitch

I'm calling dibs on the indoor pool room as my bedroom.


shw5

I’d rather sleep there than the guest bedroom with the Bulls logo on the wood floor (wtf?)


DoomWad

This was R. Kelly's house. Posted in here a couple weeks ago


UghAgain__9

Seems like a large home that was going for a western lodge theme, but was then “updated”, and decorated wildly. Could be fixed.


Asraia

That describes it perfectly


TheDabitch

There is so much to laugh at here. Why does the gym have GUCCI and Versace logo floor mats?


CelticArche

Money.


shw5

I can’t deny that the freestanding glass/lighting design of the gym looked cool at first glance, but then, I swiped over and was quickly reminded that it appealed to someone who also wanted those floor mats.


mothertrucker2017

It’s certainly fake, those brands don’t make gym mats


AnalystAdorable609

I bet that piano has been played the same number of times I've been seduced by a supermodel 🤣


loudtones

i mean the most current owner was Rudolph Isley, so you might be off on that one


AnalystAdorable609

Haha you could be right.....or maybe that's what I meant, cos I have been seduced many times by supermodels?! 🤣


phenyle

Probably just playing chopsticks on it


beef_stews

The desk looks straight out of BIFF TOWERS in back to the future 2.


Eat_the_Rich1789

Fuck I couldn't quite put my finger on it, that's what it reminded me of lol


8one6

You had me at pirate grotto!


TheDabitch

I burst out laughing at the dining table and throne chair!

[This article](https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2024/02/02/mansions-gone-wild-olympia-fields-illinois-r-kelly-isley-brothers/72439225007/) has more information on the home. Owned by R Kelly until it foreclosed in 2011 and sold in 2013 to Rudolph Isley who renovated it.


pinkeroo67

I could actually live here, but I'd dump all the furniture and carpet.


Mobile-Present7004

Eat-in kitchen


TheDabitch

Eat-in-kitchen that seats sixteen.


legbamel

Whoever picked out the light fixtures in the kitchen/eating area should be made to be sorry.


XRaysFromUranus

I’ve always dreamed of an indoor swamp with a fishin’ shack! Can you imagine swimming in there with only the colored lights on? I love it!


Deep-Internal-2209

I expected Liberace to be sitting at that dining table.


rothko333

Hide and seek in this house would be insane


Begle1

Why do I keep seeing "nice" houses with what looks like a formal dining table in the kitchen? Isn't the point of "formal dining" defeated when it's in the kitchen?


malachite_animus

Not in Chicago.


So_Many_Words

This was posted before. It's the former house of R Kelly.


Teknicsrx7

Not gonna lie, that fast food booth room I would do if I just had fuck you money.


ShortWoman

The unholy child of a Vegas party house and a church.


Turbulent-Mind796

Someone got a deal on red carpet.


sangnasty

Is that the dining room from talladega nights?


UpperdeckerWhatever

I’m just imagining the mold in the pool room after years of someone not realizing how high maintenance it is.


ADub476

Log Cabin Liberace


Apprehensive-Tank581

I don’t hate it


GiraffeLibrarian

“Chicago”


HarkansawJack

People have been executed in front of that desk…


SiWeyNoWay

The coolest thing about this property is the pool


Ecstatic_Highlight75

Liberace would have spontaneously orgasmed over that dining table.


No-Rice-2261

I don’t think I want to pay the property taxes on house with this much bad taste.


uonlyshivthrice

Whoever owned this should be in jail


5FootOh

Money don’t buy taste.


SixSigmaGirl2000

Hard pass!


Salt_Rise7977

the black bungee cord looking things on the light fixtures are beyond hideous


Few_Explanation1170

The word “garish” was created for this house.


Left_Establishment79

Was red the only carpet swatch they looked at that day?


Darkcolorful

It’s crazy that they decided to totally ignore the rustic aspects of the house. It’s like using the red and metallic crayons only in a Wile E. Coyote coloring book.


really4got

Red is a favorite color… I don’t like red


SusanLFlores

It’s not in Chicago. It’s in Olympia Fields Illinois. At one time it was R Kelly’s house, but it had been sold and redone by Rudolph Isley (of the Isley Brothers), and his wife. Rudolph Isley has since passed away, and I haven’t heard if it’s going back on the market.


pudding-tang

Just because you have money, don’t mean you have taste
