Illinois — Burling Street, $45 Million
Even amid the hustle and bustle of Chicago, an offering like this one feels impressive. That’s largely due to the mere scale of the Burling Street address, which easily snags the title of most expensive home in the state, courtesy of its $45 million asking, which was chopped from its initial $50 million. The 25,000-square-foot home sits on a land parcel that takes up more than eight city lots, filling out the extra outdoor space with manicured grounds and fountains, a reflecting pool and a garden pavilion. The mansion itself has six beds and seven baths, and has spectacular vaulted ceilings. It’s in the heart of Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood, which is among the city’s wealthiest communities.
