FIRST UP on #FridayNightZillow 🧵: *INSANE* Illinois party mansion w/eye candy galore. Marble everywhere, custom chandeliers, hand-painted ceilings, granite staircase, bonkers basement, theater, kitchens, imported pizza oven, etc. $6.5M.

If you want to hang out like the gods on Mt. Olympus, this spot is for you. #FridayNightZillow

This is *a dining room.* This house really doesn't do understated anything. #FridayNightZillow

This is the Cigar Room. Previous listing bragged it has an industrial strength smoke removal system. It also has an ancient, tiny flat-screen TV that needs to go directly into the trash. #FridayNightZillow

Bonus points for the imported Italian pizza oven. Crime against humanity for putting an ugly TV above said pizza oven. If you need a TV here, you are living life wrong. #FridayNightZillow

Party basement needs a TV upgrade. But I do like the idea of using bright colors down here so it doesn't feel like a basement. #FridayNightZillow

This sweet kitchen is also in the enormous basement. There is a second enormous kitchen on the main level. #FridayNightZillow

360-degree bar in the that enormous basement. Another painted ceiling, naturally. I sure hope those aren't TVs in the upper corners. I'm going to pretend they are air vents or something. #FridayNightZillow

This is the favorite room of the original owner of the house, though to my mind when I'm watching a movie I don't want to see anything but the movie. #FridayNightZillow

This house previously sold for $4.5M. Watch this super-fun 3 minute video from 2011 with the one of the previous owners when they put it on sale. (The Zitellas are developers) #FridayNightZillow

Up next: A "Charlevoix Mushroom House" aka the "The Thatch House." Cool, Hobbity architecture in Michigan. Owner of this Earl Young house did a lot of work, w/roof "crafted from the finest natural thatch hand-reaped in Europe." $4.5M

Big mansion, little price. $299K gets you an 8BR/7BA historic home in Oswego, Kansas. Needs a little work, but I see potential. #FridayNightZillow #CheapZillow zillow.com/homedetails/91…

This might be a Kitchen of the Year Nominee. In a classy, $3.45M, 7K sf Garden City, NY home. You get a La Cornue stove, more ovens, multiple sinks, built-ins, etc. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/10…

RETINA alert. Florida mansion on the water with a 3-story glass turret, glass elevator, pools, cray, boat lift, circle beds, bed w/mirror overhead. Enjoy! #FridayNightZillow cc: @cocainedecor zillow.com/homedetails/51…?

This house is worth it just for this view. #FridayNightZillow

You'd think after the first circle bed they would have learned their lesson, but no. Maybe they had a Buy 1, Get 1 special at Bob's House of Round Beds. #FridayNightZillow

I have issues with this bathroom. But the sinks are nice. #FridayNightZillow

This is one of the more unusual family rooms I've ever seen. Like the owner just wanted to scream FLORIDA!!! #FridayNightZillow

Yes, that is a mirror above the bed. With lights. #FridayNightZillow

Interesting Georgia house with a shower that cannot be missed. $750K. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/46…

This takes Open Concept Shower to a whole 'nother level. #FridayNightZillow

Just another very large Texas house. Claims dome is inspired by the US Capitol? $2.7M #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/33…?

Classy church conversion. $599K. Texas. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homes/526-Hard…?

Artsy house in Savannah. Just $365K? #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homes/518-E-39…?

A lot going on here. #FridayNightZillow. Careful when you zoom in.

Bargain of the Week might be this Michigan converted schoolhouse. Just $159K! #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/19…

Time for a Michigan castle. This one has its own vineyard! Just $1.125M. Not my favorite but you could do worse at this price. zillow.com/homedetails/10…

If you've ever read #FridayNightZillow before I think you already know what I like and what I hate about this room.

This is a bathroom. $3.85M house in NY. Maybe help me date the decor. Is it 70s or 80s? #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homes/217-Ceda…?

One thing you learn if you look at enough Zillow houses: Humans are WEIRD! Also, this is a toilet. In a quirky $400K Tennessee house. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homes/1817-Hig…?

WATERFALL HOUSE. This one's a treat! $2.595M. North Carolina. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homes/2008-Wal…?

LA fantasy house. $6.995M. Used to be owned by Frank Lloyd, one of the founders of the Academy and the director of Mutiny on the Bounty. Super classy. Funky back yard things. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/23…?

Somebody built a funky house in Norman, Oklahoma. Sent in by a tipster (tag yourself if you want recognition). $1.495M. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/40…?

Would have posted this nuclear missile silo last week but I was busy. It's already listed as pending. $550K. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/12…

This house has a stream running through it. $1.995M. Florida. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/15…?

Our #FridayNightZillow SHOWSTOPPER tonight is a modern California masterpiece. $3.888M. All the views. PERFECT TV PLACEMENT. Wonderful kitchen. Perfect bathtub. Edge pool. So much more. I could live here. zillow.com/homedetails/13…?

This TV placement brings tears of joy to my eyes. Finally some rich person finally gets it. This living room is spectacular. #FridayNightZillow

This is the view *from your living room.* It's like magic. #FridayNightZillow.

Bedroom. Somebody finally understands you shouldn't have a TV here. #FridayNightZillow

Bathtub fills from the ceiling. It has the spillover feature. The walls are pure glass. It might be the best bath setup ever? #FridayNightZillow

Yes please. My favorite color wood. Glass door cabinets so you can see that's inside. Stainless steel. Not too big, not too small. Just right. #FridayNightZillow

You will get clean in this shower. Not sure I'd want to clean it, but... #FridayNightZillow

I hope you enjoyed this edition of #FridayNightZillow. Thanks especially to my sister-in-law for finding most of these houses, to tipsters, to my wife and to you for reading.
