The place has hosted some of the biggest names around, including Grammy winners, athletes, and politicians. And, of course, Isley only added to the home’s celebrity patina.
“Rudolph Isley and the Isley Brothers are legends in and of themselves,” Wolking points out.

Meanwhile, all of the home’s bedrooms come nicely appointed with en suite bathrooms.
“It is a very gracious interior,” Wolking notes.

Other lavish features include multiple staircases, an elevator, a home theater, fully-equipped fitness center, and library.
Designed for large-scale fun, the enormous house surprises with an indoor, tropical-themed pool complete with a waterfall, hot tub, grotto, clubhouse, and two-story treehouse.
“The pool hall is one of the most impressive features of the house,” Wolking observes. “It is heated and cooled and has its own private full bathroom, so it’s like having your own year-round resort.”

Wolking believes the next buyer might also be in the entertainment industry.
“The property offers so much privacy and grandeur, yet every square inch is usable,” he explains. “The next owner could have a family with a ton of kids, or it could go to a single person who just wants to throw incredible parties there. A home of that size will likely be someone’s primary residence. I think it will be also someone who has roots in Chicago.”
