The Belleville, Illinois, home may not look like your ordinary"mansion" upon arrival, but one step inside and the floor-to-ceiling windows showcase an unexpected view only the state can offerAn Illinois home with an unexpected connection to famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright and a notable history that hasn't been on the market for over 50 years is now for sale.

Shirrell notes that the home itself is"one of the premiere examples of mid-century modern homes in the Midwest," designed both by legendary designer Frank Lloyd Wright and architect Charles King. Wright originally designed and started the home, but it was finished by King, who used it as his personal residence, after the initial owner of the property passed away. It was ultimately dubbed"The King House."The home has had few owners over the years, including professional golfer Bob Goalby, who won the 1968 Masters tournament and turned some of the property's 55 acres into his own private fairway and greens.

The home is highlighted for its integration with the nature around it and multiple"floating" spaces, including a gazebo. Feeling out of the loop? We'll catch you up on the Chicago news you need to know. Sign up for the weeklyChicago Weather
