Overview
Designed in 1953 by noted architect and builder Raymond Houlihan of C.A. Hemphill and recently featured in Chicago Magazine/Chicago Tribune! This exceptional custom-built ranch offers a rare opportunity to own an architecturally significant mid-century home where exceptional design, privacy and modern comfort come together with 3,231 square feet of main-level living space on 1.35 acres of private, wooded grounds! Thoughtfully preserved and beautifully updated, the home showcases craftsmanship and materials rarely found today, including original cedar and cypress interiors, limestone flooring, custom 6-inch plaster crown molding and an imported Murano glass chandelier. The bright living room features a full wall stone fireplace and custom built-in shelving, while the formal dining room is filled with natural light. The spacious eat-in kitchen offers plenty of cabinet space, updated high end stainless steel appliances and distinctive cork flooring. Architectural standouts include the cedar-lined family room and richly cypress-paneled library, creating warm, inviting spaces with true mid-century character. This home boasts an exceptionally spacious master bedroom with a large closet with organizers, two additional bedrooms, a versatile library or fourth bedroom, a game room/office and a beautifully remodeled full bath with a custom comfort-height vanity, designer fixtures and detailed tilework. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the home also features an expansive family room with heated flooring, a full bathroom and a spacious sunroom addition with a kitchenette, newer quartz countertops and direct access to the wraparound deck. Convenient main level laundry room with heated floors and renovated powder room! The red cedar exterior, newer copper gutters with gutter guards, Andersen windows provide lasting quality and convenience. Outside, the property feels like a private retreat with winding woodland paths, perennial gardens, flowering trees, mature landscaping, landscape lighting and expansive grounds.
