Austin Powers Style Condo in Chicago is Listed for $158,000

You'd feel like you were from a time machine once you get into the apartment that has a 1970s design which is currently for sale with an asking price of $158,000.

The penthouse has an area of 1,877 square feet, located at 7141 North Kedzie Avenue in West Rogers Park, and was built in 1972. Its interior is like the set of one of the Austin Powers movies.

The penthouse has three bedrooms wherein one of it is covered in bright green patterned wallpaper. The two other bedrooms were combined to create a large family room.

One of the two bathrooms is also covered with green wallpaper with a retro pattern. Vintage perfume bottles are displayed in the shelves of the bathroom. The bottles were left there by the owners and were apparently old.

The design of the kitchen is groovy as well as it don a colorful wallpaper combining turquoise, beige and yellow in psychedelic shapes.

In the living room, there is a circular bright green couch which is the centerpiece of the home, Huffington Post reported. Near it is the dining area that has six chairs of the same color with the couch in the living room.

Vintage perfume bottles are still lined up on the bathroom shelves. Agent Lauri Rosenbloom from Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Starck Real Estate, who is in charge of selling the condo, said the bottles are older and were left there by the owners, even though she's not sure what era they came from. This apartment in Winston Towers has a balcony wherein one can get a view on the building's outdoor pool. The Chicago condo was first listed in 2012 but didn't get interest from anyone. Hence, it was listed back in the market just recently through Agent Lauri Rosenbloom from Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Starck Real Estate and it has attracted interest and was even featured in different websites.

"Suddenly, it's all the rage," Rosenbloom told Mail Online. "I've got people who love the wallpaper and the furniture."

The property is being sold "as is" and the interior including the furniture is left untouched.
