89 South Cabernet Court, Burr Ridge, IL listed by Dawn McKenna with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage
Many people find watching fish in an aquarium as relaxing as watching a roaring fire. Well, luckily in this Burr Ridge, IL home, you don’t have to choose one or the other. Not only does the bluish purple lighting in the fish tank add a pop of color to this living room, the in-wall installation makes a statement. Kick back in front of the fire and choose between fire & water.

When your home overlooks the ocean, it’s only natural to bring the ocean indoors. Not only does the color palette of this home imitate sand and waves, the large salt water aquarium truly brings the sea inside. We love how it’s incorporated into the built-ins just off the kitchen.

This two-sided built-in aquarium faces the study and the chef’s kitchen. We love the idea of incorporating a calming feature like an aquarium into a study where your mind needs peace and quiet. You can even peek through the coral to see when dinner’s ready!
