This deal of a home is located at 6 Athena Court in the Odyssey Country Club in Tinley Park, IL and is situated on 0.89 acres of land. Built in 2004, the stone and shingle mansion features approximately 15,570 square feet of living space with 7 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, 2-story foyer with marble floors, formal living and dining rooms, gourmet kitchen, back staircase next to a butler’s pantry, family room, recreation room, home theater, indoor swimming pool, 4-car garage and a half-court basketball court.

I really like the exterior; the stone and shingle combo has always been a favorite of mine. The interior has nice spaces, but is way too bland and uninspired. However, you can’t deny that this is a great deal. Where else can you find a 15,000 square foot house with a great exterior and indoor swimming pool for under $1.8 million?!
