Palos Park Mansion Hits the Auction Block

Owners of a large Palos Park home are opting to forego the traditional approach and will instead turn to the block. 

In a press release from Diliberto Real Estate Services announcing the sale, the home at 10749 Cherrywood Drive is described as "a magnificent, stately mansion."

It seems that by bypassing the normal sales route and opting for an auction that might draw some media interest, the owners are hoping for a quicker sale than the sluggish market might allow for.

The four-bedroom home was built by its owner David DePaulo and boasts a great location near the forest preserves overlooking Azure Lake. 

Other features include:

• A boat dock and three decks
• A kitchen with granite counter tops, a fireplace and high-end appliances
• Attached four-car garage
• A loft that can be used for two additional bedrooms 

In their story on the sale, Sun-Times Media has a few pictures of the home's interior. 

Bidders are encouraged to attend the open houses on Aug. 5 and 12.  If you have serious cash to spend and need more information about the home, which was originally priced at $1.8 million, you can call 855-460-2437.
