This 1.5-story contemporary at 1662 Water Tower Court in Wheaton was listed for about $100,000 less than the typical asking price for a house in Wheaton of similar size and age for two reasons: It needed a considerable amount of cleanup and repair, and it has just two bedrooms. Nevertheless, the house sold for $20,000 over the asking price. Custom-built with just one bedroom at a cost of $208,000 in 1988, the house was expanded in the early 1990s. The property backs up to the Illinois Prairie Path. BY THE NUMBERS: The 2,273-square-foot house has nine rooms, two and a half baths, two fireplaces and a full basement.
