Deal Estate: Lake Forests Schweppe Mansion
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2009
- This grand home on Lake Forests Mayflower Road is truly one of the most magnificent ever built in Chicago. The 27-room mansion was completed in 1915 as a wedding gift from John G. Shedd, then the president of Marshall Field & Co., to his daughter...

Sold for $5 million, about 1/2 asking which par for the course for these big houses in Lake County. Property tax at that price will be about $141,000 per year. Sellers took an absolute bath on this, $5m is probably what it cost to upkeep all these years. Still, a historic house. The king of the shore in Lake Forest. Congrats to the new owners!
It's famous for being haunted but the last owners didn't care and meticulously restored it. Apparently , a hot shower, running on its own, fogging up the bathroom mirror with "I'm here" written on it, was too much. The couple finally became overwhelmed by the project and divorced.
But I, after all that time and money spent, living had to be unnerving in the extreme.
I don't think the house will ever sell to bad going to historical museum
This home is stunningly gorgeous, my Goodness,... wow !!!
My whole family is from Lake Forest. My mother used to swim in the Schweppe pool.
It never shows a pool inside or out
My husband says we MIGHT be able to aford the light in the reception room.
sylvia koziarski LMMFAO 😂
You need one of those hubbies with some money
I love this house! Wish I could afford to buy it!
The shape and style of the house is an hommage to Compton-Wynyates
IT REMINDS ME OF A HOUSE I ONCE LIVED IN ....:)
Sunny Wakefield which part. Old or haunted?
You would of thought the camera man would of let us see the view of the lake
Damn cameraman, could've gotten better shots. At least the lake view once.
This house is absolutely gorgeous
I completely fell in Mad love with this place! I want it so bad.... it is now down to 12 mil! Of course there is the fact that I can't afford it..... yet! ;)
same, I'm obsessed with this house!
They forgot its severely haunted !
@@latashaross7115 exactly, but I still want it
I am trying to remember the people that had bought it a long time ago got it cheaper than that because it set many many many years empty I watch the documentary on and a guy that does faces of the forgotten I think he does stories and goes to the cemeteries on anyway they were asking a lot for but it had set empty for so many years they got very cheap and the woman was in the master bathroom and start hearing voices things got thrown around she said this place is haunted the husband and wife got a divorce they both left The house empty quite some time again now
Truly magical house
Old hangout in the 80's in the carraige house. LF is amazing
the realtor looks more dead than the spirits who haunt this place. oh did she mention it comes with roommates? interested folks can get it for 9 million now.
Tomahawk1999 i could prob pull it off im a pot barron make about 2 mill a yr and my wifes a surgeon . id have to travel a lot though
@@steve19745 go right for it. its down to 5.5 million. as long as you are ok with ghosts living with you :)
8 mil know. I'm actually pretty interested in it. Planning on making it a group dwelling with about 9 other ppl so I'm never alone.
@@Tomahawk1999 oh its 5.5 know? Amazing!
@@snimf6468 .......by the time rioting BLM or sjw snowflake peeps get their hands on it - it will be worth $2........i could buy a gorgeous victorian gothic style mansion with country estate here in scotland for 1.5 and have 4 left to make a vintage vehicle collection LOL
I remember my childhood walking by there. I lived in Lake Forest but apparently on the other side of the tracks.
I'm really interested in this house. I'm planning on coming all the way to Illinois just to see it. Itll be awesome to make it a group dwelling so I'm never alone. I'm glad theres a video on it. It's so amazing. I know it's a little haunted. But I'm not worried about it. Ghosts need to find there way out eventually.
grow up
I miss Denis' videos. What I won't miss is the camera man!
This house should be turned into a museum like the Cuneo Mansion in Vernon hills
My parents had worked for both. I was in both houses with them when it was occupied by the owners. Cool experience for sure!
I would like this house.
When I lived on the north shore along the lake in the early 60s, I remember many 50-room mansions were demolished because there were just not buyers for them and
many lakefront estates were subdivided. Sheridan Road looked a lot different then.
So beautiful.....
It's supposed to be haunted, as well as expensive!
The house sit empty for many many many years end up selling really cheap I watched a documentary that I watched On my mind just went blank he goes to cemeteries and The stories and he went to this house The people bought it really cheap because it's empty for so many years no one wanted it and in the master bathroom she waz taking a bath and said she could hear a woman's voice saying I'm here and some different things were happening at cause the husband and wife to get a divorce and they moved out.. It's an older guy as a RUclips channel watching all the time Faces of the forgotten the emblem on his RUclips channel kinda looks like the one from Starbucks green it's very late and I cannot think but He did want to do months ago on this
I would have buy this mansionif there were no rumours of ghost like this 👻 it's really beautiful mansion,wish I had one like that🥺
the house is too beautiful to care about nonsense
Right? I wonder what the real reason is that it won’t sell.
Thank god it wasnt destroyed by our modern urbex explorers, its gorgeous and right by the lake..beautiful
I love it.
Maaaan it is a gorgeous place!! Truly an American Castle. Tomhawk1999 down there, we call her stoic, not :looks more dead than the (supposed) spirits who haunt this place". Castle Grace (she is a graceful beautiful place) is down to 8.5M-ish now.
P.S. I believe in haunts, but I get no sort of creepy energy from this crib! I guess if you got that kind of money to throw around test drive the place. Seventy-two hour challenge. Po' folk like me only get to drool from behind a stupid screen unworthy of staying even one night in such opulence.
All my kids used to go there when it was unoccupied and sneak onto the property. They all talk about the haunted Schweppe mansion.
k, 2:00, there's reflection from the light but around this point looks like more than reflection 4:00 freeze it, (looks like someone standing in 2 rooms around 4 minutes) 4:17 same (is that a guy in a smoking jacket sitting on the couch?) and are those big minuet statueens? cause they seem to disappear too when the camera moves. was looking for something less ominous like "lights" or blurrs after watching a "scary houses" video .. and the realtor sounds scared. she says his bathroom, her bathroom, like they still use them. and "party for him" on the patio, like he's still around ... they seem a little creeped out and the guy puts his hand up in a defensive gesture, like ready to confront something, every time they go from one room to the other. this was #1 on list of haunted mansions. why would they leave two of the candles in the dining room bent way over showing the place, when "the ghosts knock the candles over" is one of the "haunts?"
Jo Smith you’re seeing thing lol
Ewww I def see the guy at 4:17
You’re so stupid, there are people who still maintain the house and she just speaking rhetorically to entice buyers not alluding to some potential spirit.
I watched a documentary in this house sent empty for many many many many years the grass was grown up so high there was no one taking care of it there was no 1 left of the family... People bought it very very cheap because it had Set empty for so many years The kept lowering the price .. The wife said there was too much going on with haunted scared they got divorce and it's set for many years again empty
Dennis Rodkin, Thank you for being one of the few to correctly pronounce Schweppe.
+Michael Doran I pronounce it "Schweppy" but isn't the tonic water pronounced "Schwepps?"
+Thomas Schweppe The family name and company name should be pronounced Schweppy. Generations of colloquial Americans have given us "Schwepps". I slip all the time and I may be your distant cousin on my maternal side ;-]
A dream interior
"HOME SWEET HOME"🍀
ITS FREAKIN HAUUUUNNNNTED!!!!
Who said that?
gorgeous home but imagine the cleaning it, that would be a deal breaker and let's not forget I can't afford it.
Heard that the dead maids and groundskeepers dusted and cleaned it all the years it was locked up. Not joking.
J L. There is so much stuff to dust!
A shopaholic's paradise. So enormous, but I feel claustrophobic! Living here, with all the staff required to maintain it, not to mention the utility expense, would require one to approach life in a financial oblivion. I'm now appreciating my cozy little house!
There’s a ghost in that house !
This house has been on the market for 12 years!
Longer than that it sent many many many many years empty... And husband setting for many many many years
It was empty for 46 yrs
That place is scary af
Wow just speechless lol. I live in a 2 bed 1 bath house lol.
LMFAO ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
THATS ONLY 18 MILLION ??...WOW !
No view of the lake and kitchen ... whoever decided to ditch those two, stunk!
you can't take away its beauty....
is it open for a potential buyer to view the rest ? you need a 14 person table if you have 11 bedrooms
It has 11 Main bedrooms. There are other bedrooms, which are the guests and childrens quarters.
that is really a masterpiece
with the compliments
is it on sale, in these days
thank you for sharing
It's up for about 8.5 Million now.
DOES THE FURNITURE STAY? I LOVE IT, I CAN JUST IMAGINE THE SIZE OF IT ALL IN PERSON, BEAUTIFUL...
I would consider buying this mansion, but the crooked candles in the dining area and the weeds growing in the cracks on the lake patio just plain turned me off.........
Lol
I need to win the lotto 😢
Schepp-ee Mansion?
A step up from my two-person tent... I must admit.
Ballrooms for some dumb reason were on 3rd floor...why?
Does it come furnished???
Iam going to save up for this mansion
EVP at 4:37 - 4:38
I head a woman’s voice before they went into the main bedroom
Do the furniture come with the house
Walks into the dining room, “so this is the dining room?”.
Beautiful mansion inside & out but I would have an estate sale or auction & get rid of a lot of the chachkies, knickknacks, cuckoo clocks, etc.. Too much clutter.
Hermosa, un sueño
Original owner shot himself in the head in the south upstairs master bedroom. Apparantly still haunted with spooky goings on including the words " I AM HERE" being written in to a steamed up bathroom mirror. Both rooms can be seen at around the 08:15 mark.
And to think ,someone made that kind of money from soda!
At 7:58 you can legit hear a little kid, right after they walk past the kid's room
10 years later it's 8.5 million US dollars and I'm still waiting for some rich celebrity to buy it and redo it mixing the vintage modern look together. 😍
Aleesha Baber no celeb is going to buy it
It sold really cheap years ago because it set many many many years empty because it was haunted and so expensive and so big But the couple ended up getting really cheap because it set so long and they said it was haunted too many things were going on cause them to get a divorce and they left the house it's been sitting empty for quite a few years again
💎💎💎💎💎
It sold for 5m. The original owner refuses to leave.
It's a very big house lots of rooms for me to have a pajama party, that furniture is so Sunset Boulevard Gloria Swanson William Holden you remember and the furniture is very tacky, guess I could change all of that when I move in.
“When you move in” 😂😂😂
What's with the forty-year-old TVs
They didn't hire the best the neighbors did. I was at the neighbors house just today
that look good
Sold furnished?
Dommage de ne pas avoir très bien filmé ,et aussi a mon avis ce style de château doit prendre un peut plus de temps ce qui qu'en cerne la vidéo .
The current owners divorced because the wife couldn't deal with the ghost of the former owner. He committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. His ghost is very active.
The wife said What she was in the master bathroom running the hot water the mirror was fogged up and somebody wrote I'm here things started get thrown around the Room she said this place is to haunted caused him to get a divorce but the house sat empty for many many many many years and husband setting empty again for many years they got it really cheap
hala satilik mi
still sale ?
There are other people in the house besides these two. They have caretakers there.
I keep seeing comments about it being haunted.
There is nothing scary about this lovely home. The people who died, built it with great love in their hearts. If they happen to still walk its halls, I would not mind sharing this mansion with them. I have great respect for anyone who built such a beautiful place.
I just cannot afford it. 😞❤
What if the spirit (or whatever you want to call it) was there before the house was built? Maybe LONG before.
If only..........but i'm completely dreaming. I don't mind the ghosts neither. As long as they don't touch my ass. Like the last damb ghost in my last apartment! That shit was scary.....
So Overloaded with furniture and Nik-Nak's Everywhere. I wish we could of seen the Kitchen and more Bathrooms. These videos Never show the Kitchen!!
Pengen beli😀
Hoarders! They've got enough crap for three or four mansions!
The videographer made me so dizzy.
It was empty because it’s haunted but the ghosts of the former husband and wife who lived there. She died first, and he killed himself. None of the family wanted to come there after that. Especially not during the night.. in the dark.
if only the guy would allow the real estate agent to speak
She say it was haunted. Wonder why not.
Terrible agent!
Constructive crit. The gentleman needs to stop saying “wow” so often. It’s okay for a 14 year old but not a professional. It’s the small foxes that spoil the vine.
It's like the man knows more about the house than she do..
Or he doesnt let her finish talking, rushing her.. I would buy the house from her not him.
He keep over talking the woman, that put me off..
Nice house but a lot of unnecessary junk in it. Lots of tragedy. It goes to show money does not guarantee any kind of fulfillment. Life might be easier but not better.
Throw away all the furniture.
Are you kidding? Throw it away?
@@m.oriley8260 I prefer older antiques. I tend to respond strongly. No offense intended. ...what does one hope from an Art major whom was polished in a grand castle.
Can't think of anything worse, as not many can afford truly great works. Art personalities tend to be unrealistic.
This is truly a LOVELY Residence! I would give my eye teeth to wake up every morning for the rest of one's life in this quiet, excellently and solidly constructed nest!
This realtor is awful
Greed.::::: no one should have that much money when so many people are starving and have worker hard all there lives and can't even pay their bills .JUST NOT FAIR
That house was Built-in 1915 come up with a soda pop or Selzer water and make money like they did
