House for sale in Illinois has garage ‘made to keep secrets.’ See why
A home with a very antique look hides a very steamy secret in the garage in Sycamore, Illinois — and it’s listed for $350,000.
The entire house, not just the secret.
Built in 1900, the four-bedroom, two-bathroom house has ample space with a cozy, inviting vibe throughout.
“The home unfolds with a charming parlor/sitting room flowing into the living room, showcasing original baseboards and windows, and then through pocket doors to the formal dining room,” the listing on Zillow says.
“The well-appointed kitchen features stainless steel appliances, luxurious tile, updated cabinet fronts on original frames, and wainscoting crafted from reclaimed wood from the historic Sycamore Courthouse Hanger-one of the many unique touches connecting this home to Sycamore’s rich past.”
Features, per the listing, include:
Hardwood floors
Built-in bookshelves
Full basement
Attic
Upstairs laundry room
But the main draw is that garage behind the residence.
“The impressive 2.5 car garage, built in 2010, features heated floors and a substantial 13 x 30 loft-a fantastic recreation space or ‘man/woman cave,’ complete with a workbench and included cabinets, and heated by natural gas,” the listing says.
“Perched above the heated, oversized 2-car garage is a full-size loft, made to keep secrets steamier than anything on booktok.”
The garage was noticed by fans of Zillow Gone Wild, a Facebook page that highlights unique house listings around the country — and they had a lot to say.
“Business in the front. Party in the back!” one person joked.
“Well, that went from vanilla to cayenne in about two seconds,” another commented.
“The house is giving 90s sitcom vibes. As for the shed...I’m not going to yuck someone else’s yum,” someone said.
“Yeah, this one looks like it’s a boudoir photography studio. Each corner of the room, and the sides, look like their own little ‘scene’ - with a backdrop (greenery, bookshelves, hanging lanterns, etc.),” one person noted.
“And here I was originally going to comment on not liking a bathroom right off the kitchen,” someone commented.
“I thought the laundry room office was weird but then kept scrolling…” another chimed in.
Sycamore is about a 65-mile drive northwest of Chicago.
