If you've ever wondered how royalty lives, then this tour's for you. The Lake Forest estate featured in this weekend's show was reduced just this morning to $15 million. So, you're about $3 million dollars closer to owning it!

Lake Forest is full of gorgeous, historic homes on acres and acres of green lakefront property. But this one is different. I'm sure those who are in the market for an $15 million dollar estate are probably quite used to walking into a palace-like home, full of intricately carved mouldings, artistically detailed ceilings and marble-and-gold toilets (with matching bidet, of course), but being unaccustomed to such a lifestyle, it was quite the interesting afternoon that Jordan (HomesPlus' fearless shooter) and I spent touring the place with the listing agent, Houda Chedid.

Let's run through the "basics":
-11 bedrooms - each "bedroom" is really a suite, complete with sitting room, fireplace, walk-in closet and full bath.
-Bonus rooms - 3rd floor boasts a ballroom and full size apartment-like quarters which housed staff many years ago. These quarters are larger than my condo...not that I'm bitter.
-Room to spread out - 21,000 square feet spread over three floors (four, if you include the basement)
-10 a/c units
-5.3 acres on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan
-Several large patios, including the one in the back of the home where the heir to the Swedish crown danced the night away and scenes from the movie "With Honors" were shot.
