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.
