Appearing from certain angles more like a secular cathedral than a private residence, this rambling three-story, peaked, glass-and-cedar home at 23033 W. Schwerman Rd. in Mundelein overlooks a secluded 10-acre pond shared with seven other properties. AMENITIES: The double-door front entrance is ornamented with stained glass and opens onto a foyer that leads to a glass-walled great room. Over-arching the foyer and great room is a planked 17-foot ceiling. The back of the house features a long wraparound deck, ending in a rustic wooden gazebo. There is a second gazebo in a wooded area at the shoreline. Also out back are a large swimming pool and a hot tub raised on a base of boulders. BY THE NUMBERS: The 10-room house, built in 1990, has four bedrooms, 4 1/2 bathrooms, a three-car garage, four stone fireplaces and a 15-by-30-foot hobby room, originally designed for the owner’s elaborate model train set.
