The historic Pabst Mansion, found in the suburbs of Chicago's North Shore, was built in 1936. Impeccably restored for today's family, it includes eight bedrooms, 12 bathrooms and stunningly landscaped grounds. Welcome to the high life.

For a playful touch, the clipped hedges in the center of the driveway are actually a twisty-turny maze.

The foyer is a lovely example of the careful restoration of the house, with the intricate detailing on the walls and the wrought-iron window grate.

The reception hall is cheery and welcoming with its bright yellow walls and peekaboo red accents. The wide open space and minimal furnishings give the bold color room to impress not overwhelm.
