Blago's House: House Hunt

It's the house where the Feds set wire-taps, where two daughters were raised, where $700 ties were hung, and where the former Guv and his family lived during his time in office. Now Rod and Patti's house is for sale ... and Patch takes a look.

2934 West Sunnyside Avenue, Chicago, IL 60625

$1,070,000.  13 rooms, 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, 3187 sq. ft.

A corner lot in beautiful Ravenswood Manor.  This sunny home has a lawn that can hold many media members, and a 2200 square foot basement, including a gym (perfect if you're the sort of guy who likes to be seen in running suits!)

There's a lovely heated glass "Florida room" with plantation shutters.  The home has three fireplaces and vaulted cathedral ceilings.  The roof of this 1929 home is slate and the exterior is brick.

There are hardwood floors throughout, a music room, a library (much coveted and admired by Patch), stained glass windows, a breakfast room, and a sauna/steam room (probably good for blowing off steam, too!)  All the bathrooms are heated with radiant heat.  We're betting each of them can handle a really powerful blowdryer, too.

There's a single-car detached garage on the property, and an el stop a block and a half away, for those times when you just have to get away, fast.
