estled in Mettawa’s northern suburbs, a 5,000‑sq‑ft circular residence—dubbed the “spaceship house”—has been quietly put on the market for $3.25 million. The three‑bedroom home sits on 5.3 acres beside Grainger Woods Conservancy, offering unrivaled privacy. Its monolithic concrete dome, finished with polished interiors, glass walls, and abundant natural light, creates a sculptural living space. Outside, a pond, wooded trails, and an island fire pit enhance the secluded retreat. Owner Bob Hollar, who has maintained the property since 1996, says the listing is a low‑profile move as he and his wife shift to South Carolina. The house is described as more than a home—an artistic sanctuary and a once‑in‑a‑lifetime statement.
