Christie's International Real Estate Affiliate Represents Chicago Mansion Featured In Television Series Empire

Barrington Hills, Illinois (September, 2017) – Audiences around the globe tune in regularly to keep up with the drama gripping music mogul, Lucious Lyon, and his family and staff. An enduring backdrop to the plot line is the main character’s elegant residence, a home befitting a fictional record company executive or any company executive, for that matter.
 
45 Lakeview Lane in the prestigious Barrington Hills neighbourhood of Illinois is offered by Conlon & Company, the exclusive affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, for USD9,950,000.
 
“Empire” season three was no doubt the most explosive yet with rivalry and jealously threatening to destabilize the Lyon family’s musical business. The head of the family - Lucious Lyon played by Academy Award nominee Terrance Howard - unveiled his new album ‘Inferno’ and this was a metaphor for the season with a host of cameo appearances including Mariah Carey, Snoop Dogg, Nia Long and Rumer Willis.
 
Set on eight acres, the grounds are meticulously maintained with two gorgeous lakes and a pool area that redefines elegance and serenity. Surrounded on three sides by water, the estate is an oasis of privacy within close proximity to Chicago’s urban vibrancy. Features like the floor to ceiling windows, barreled and coffered ceilings, custom detailed mill work, glass-sided turrent and stunning porte cohere are just part of this lavish home's old world charm.
 
The interiors are breathtaking with two-story walls of windows, expansive walls for the display of large-scale art, and architectural details to engage the most discerning buyer. Amenities abound with a wine cellar, theatre, gym, poker room and expansive catering kitchen. There is also a garage with space for 4 cars, a home office, swimming pool and outdoor terrace space.
