Yesterday I showed a family houses for sale in Bartlett and Carol Stream. Perhaps, I underestimate Bartlett and Carol Stream, but I was truly surprised by the number of unusual possessions and home features we saw.
One Bartlett house had a large window between a bedroom and the rest of the basement. It looked like whoever occupied it was on display! Another Bartlett home for sale had several closets with no handles on the doors. You could only open them by pulling from the tops of the doors. However, I decided the day’s winner for the truly unusual was the vacant house in Carol Stream featuring a fully intact hornets’ nest in the basement (shown left).
I may have the insect wrong. Maybe it’s a wasps’ nest. But whatever kind of nest it is, it certainly made us pause when got to the basement!
