Highland Park, IL 60035

A classic Mid century modern home reimagined for today's lifestyle. Sometimes, you can judge a book by its cover! This house, with its clean architectural lines, inviting blend of colors and textures, gives a new meaning to welcome home. Rebuilt from the exterior shell inside and out. The large corner yard was cleared, regraded, and re-landscaped. New roof, gutters, fascia, Hardie siding and windows with extra attention to the soffits so predominant in mid century design. Walk up curved stone stairs lined with built in planter boxes, through a majestic 8ft mahogany door and be greeted by the restored original floating circular staircase. Inside, angular vaulted ceilings give a voluminous feel to an open floor plan revolving around the kitchen. New natural white oak floors contrast subtly with the biscotti stained maple cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel Bosch appliances and black accent shelves and pendant lights. Plenty of kitchen seating with a waterfall island, a 10 ft long half wall with countertop for additional seating or serving that looks into the sunken family room. Lots of space for a full sized kitchen table or banquette. Walls of windows flood the house in natural light and bring the beautifully landscaped yard and serene ravine setting into the interior spaces. Upstairs there are 4 generously sized bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The master bedroom has wraparound windows and a balcony overlooking the patio and ravine with an oversized walk in closet and gorgeous bathroom. The lower level has a 5th bedroom or office with its own full bath, another living space with a wall of windows and a mudroom/laundry room just off the garage entry door. Both the main and lower level access the 3 level patio made private by towing pines and oaks and sprawling evergreens.
