Property Description
Step into a world of architectural elegance with this stunning 6-bedroom, 7-bath home. Nestled on an expansive, professionally landscaped third-acre corner lot in the sought-after Field Park subdivision, this exceptional property offers a blend of historical relevance and modern luxury and features an intentional and spectacular connection to nature at every turn. As you enter the grand foyer, you're welcomed by the sweeping white oak staircase, which sets the stage for the home's timeless architectural elegance. It was designed in the style of George Maher, a celebrated contemporary of Frank Lloyd Wright. You will immediately feel the purposeful integration of the interior and exterior spaces, which creates an ever-present sense of tranquility. Perhaps the epicenter of the home is the expansive gourmet eat-in kitchen, complete with a 50" by 98" island, custom granite countertops, and high-end Crown Point cabinetry. Top-of-the-line Subzero, Viking, and Bosch appliances ensure you have everything you need to create culinary masterpieces. The kitchen opens to one of the most incredible family rooms with its soaring 19-foot ceilings and full-height stone fireplace. Additionally, the first floor includes a spacious living room and a separate dining room. The living room is equipped with pocket doors, custom built-in shelves, and an attractive wood-burning fireplace, making it the perfect space for entertaining. The room also leads into a front all-season room. The large formal dining room boasts a beautiful bay window and pocket doors. Additionally, the all-season separate porch provides extra seating for entertaining larger groups. You will also find a large separate office with custom built-ins offering the perfect space for work or study. It opens to a third all-season porch, providing a tranquil retreat to enjoy the changing scenery. An adjacent full bathroom also makes it a perfect opportunity for a primary bedroom or in-law arrangement. Upstairs, the second floor offers a luxurious primary bedroom suite with its own gas fireplace, vaulted ceilings, a private seating area, a small balcony, and a spacious walk-through closet. The ensuite bathroom features a large, jetted tub for ultimate relaxation. Three additional well-appointed bedrooms complete the second floor. On the third floor, you'll find two more bedrooms, a full bath, and a utility/storage room. The finished basement is designed for entertainment and leisure, with a full bath, billiard/workout area, workshop, and multiple storage spaces. Comfort and convenience are paramount, with three-zone heating and cooling systems ensuring year-round comfort. A two-and-a-half-car attached garage provides ample parking and storage space. With its blend of historic influence and modern amenities, this remarkable residence offers a unique opportunity to own one of only four oversized lots in Field Park. It is a truly exceptional home for those who appreciate craftsmanship, space, and location. The home's incredible windows and thoughtfully designed sightlines draw the outside in, creating breathtaking views of the landscape throughout. Whether standing in the grand foyer, relaxing in one of the sun-soaked all-season porches, or enjoying a quiet moment in the gourmet eat-in kitchen, nature is always in view, transforming each space into a peaceful retreat. Situated just two blocks from Field Park Elementary and four blocks from McClure Middle School. A short ten-minute walk brings you to the Metra station and the charming downtown Western Springs, with its local shops, restaurants, and quick access to 294 expressway.
