A striking mid-century modern home set on three-quarters of an acre of secluded, wooded grounds. Defined by dramatic vaulted and beamed ceilings, expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, and hardwood floors, the home offers a beautiful connection between its architectural design and natural surroundings. The main level features an inviting great room with a fireplace, a spacious dining room, and an updated kitchen with a generous center island, quartz counters, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and BlueStar range. Upstairs, three bedrooms include a spacious primary suite with a spa-inspired bath, walk-in closet, and convenient second laundry area. The walkout lower level offers gorgeous slate flooring (2026), a family/recreation room, office or fourth bedroom, powder room, laundry, and utility/storage space. Outdoor living is equally appealing, with a screened-in porch overlooking the wooded yard and an adjoining deck that provides additional space for entertaining or simply taking in the peaceful setting. Notable improvements made by the current owner include updated landscaping and new trees (2026), exterior painting (2025), a new roof (2022), and a Sub-Zero refrigerator and BlueStar range (2022). Conveniently situated between Highland Park and Deerfield, with easy access to parks, shopping, dining, and the amenities of both communities. A rare combination of architectural character, privacy, and natural beauty.
