About this home
A remarkable Mid-Century Modern era residence with a classic, gracious floor plan and period details that cannot be replaced. Positioned on Fairway Drive across from the country club and minutes from the University of Illinois, this home sits on a magnificent landscaped lot and offers a thoughtful blend of architecture, comfort, and high-quality updates. The main level begins with a sunlit living room featuring a corner fireplace and seamless flow into the dining area. From there, the home opens to a vaulted screened porch (12 x 18), an architectural highlight with a soaring ceiling, wood arches, and direct access to tiered Ipe wood decking. Indoor and outdoor entertaining feel effortless here. The gourmet kitchen is both striking and functional, anchored by a central island with GE Profile gas cooktop and Boos counters. KitchenAid double ovens support larger gatherings, while a standout pantry system by California Closets provides exceptional storage and organization. Adjacent to the kitchen, a charming family room adds everyday livability and keeps guests connected to the heart of the home. The second level features two oversized bedrooms paired with two remodeled baths. The primary bedroom is filled with east and south light through large window panels and includes two separate California Closets storage systems. The primary suite bath rivals new construction, highlighted by a skylite, expansive shower with bench seating and classic tile finishes. The lower level provides another suite with abundant closets and a bath with whirlpool tub, plus a laundry room with tub, furnace closet, new water heater 2026 and additional utility space. An oversized garage and turnaround driveway complete this impressive offering....
