Nestled into the rolling hills of South Glen Ellyn awaits this spectacular example of American Modernism. Custom designed and built in 1971 by Airhart Construction this home was renovated in 2021 with the intent of honoring the original mid-century architectural character. Visual highlights include the distinctive cedar clad facade and neo-mansard roof lines surrounding the home. Inside the cathedral style living room with 12 ft ceilings plays with the perception of expansion and compression to the adjoining spaces. Five sets of Pella sliding glass doors surround the property allowing for incredible amounts of light and an immersive indoor/outdoor living experience. Form meets function in every element of the interior with separate sleeping and living wings, a cozy den with wood burning fireplace, a 2 car attached garage, and an extra basement family room complete with a wet bar kitchen. Surrounded by a full half acre of professionally designed landscape and gardens, this property prioritizes privacy, serenity, and functionality.
