A “one-of-a-kind” house has hit the real estate market in Illinois for $1.17 million. While some might marvel at its elegant finishes and custom mill-work, one popular social media page is taking aim at one specific bedroom and asking the question everyone is thinking:

Is that a...tree?

I’m sure my pet birds would check it out but it doesn’t really have nice perching branches.

Looked up the one in Austin and prefer the one here in Naperville. And recalled this bit of fun.
Many years rock and ice climbing... kids and grandkids just did an ice climbing weekend. This bolder appears to lack in technical features and would quickly out grown.

Naperville’s really nice, but damm blue.

I like the tree, personally. I think it was a neat thing to do, but I’m 34 and probably wouldn’t have too much trouble moving around it.

At least they didn’t conceal it the way most in Chicagoland would have.

And, hey, if you think THAT is weird, check out The House On The Rock in Wisconsin.

And there you have it. My cat would love it. She sleeps with and on me, but might find a place on that tree she likes better in the summer.

What’s wrong with a giant woody in the bedroom?

It looks like neighbor of mine built a back room round a large pine tree.

—”Naperville’s really nice, but damm blue.”

DuPage has been my home of record since the 1960s.

A bastion of conservativism until the Chiraq out-migration.

They started pouring in near me when Daley Jr retired.

Once rock-ribbed, now 50-60%, maybe.

Maybe their son identified as a furry and his school accommodated it with a litter box in the unisex restroom.

Now THAT’s a serious boulder and would make for rock climbing

Yeah, we’ve lived in Dupage County for over 30 years. It was a rock solid red county until about 15 years ago, when liberals from Chicago moved out here in droves; but, unfortunately, they brought their voting habits with them.

Grew up in Hinsdale and Oak Brook. Long time ago before I was interested in politics. Now in Spokane close to ID where my daughter lives. She’s seriously ticked off at all the Californian’s moving in because they’ll bring their politics with them. Already made one CA friend and they just don’’t talk about politics.

It's there for Bubbles the Chimp to play on.   Bubbles' bedroom is behind the small door in the eave of the roof.
