AS SEEN IN CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS AND HITTING THE MARKET IN 2026… Get Your Kicks On Route 66!
They grew up in the 1950s, the heyday of diners, jukeboxes and Route 66, so when their kids were grown, Laura and Jim Galto decided to indulge in a little nostalgia. Soon it became a lot of nostalgia. Over the course of a dozen years, the Galtos' house in Glen Ellyn filled with mementoes. They bought some, including statues of Elvis, gumball machines and antique gas pumps, and they made others, including a Route 66 insignia painted on the driveway, curtains that look like piano keyboards and, perhaps cleverest of all, a modern-day refrigerator they made over to look like an old-fashioned Coca-Cola machine. "People ask if we really live with all this or if it's just our museum," Laura Galto said, referring to the checkerboard tile on the walls, couches that look like the tail ends of 1950s cars and all manner of vintage signs. "We live here," she said, "and we love it."
The house, a three-bedroom, roughly 1,400-square-footer on almost half an acre on Bemis Road, will be priced at $490,000. It's listed with Jane Hootman of Quaid and Rooney at Keller Williams Premiere Properties.
