The design of this unique residence is inspired by Harry T. Lindberg, master architect of numerous great American estates, including the Owentsia Club and the J. O. Armour Estate in Lake Forest, Illinois. The home, built with bricks manufactured in the 1940s, abounds with character and yet blends seamlessly with the historic homes of the neighborhood. French Normand in style, the crescent shape of the home welcomes you as you drive up the u-shaped driveway, which is lined with old oak trees. The sloping slate roofs, copper copula imbue the home with a romantic feel. Old-world antique lighting and hanging trough-style copper gutters only accentuate the great appeal of this wonderful home.
The interior of this light-filled home includes many unique materials and wonderful spaces. Particularly striking are the gourmet kitchen with a Wolf dual-fuel oven with custom zinc hood and Pecky Cypress ceiling, the hand carved stone fireplaces and the beautiful bedroom suites, each with private baths by Waterworks. The interior color palate has been meticulously studied to achieve a calming and sophisticated elegance.
Situated on a beautiful lot with ¾” acre lot with frontage, the landscaping and terraces create a wonderful complement to the architecture of the home. Conveniently located just steps from Lake Michigan and a public beach, the residence is near downtown Highland Park, the Metra train to Chicago and the public schools.
