    What's special

    Flowering treesLandscape lightingRed cedar exteriorPerennial gardensSpacious eat-in kitchenCedar-lined family roomImported murano chandelier
    Designed in 1953 by renowned architect and builder Raymond Houlihan of C.A. Hemphill, this exceptional custom-built 3 bedroom, 2.1 bath ranch sits on 1.35 acres of private wooded grounds and showcases remarkable craftsmanship throughout with 3,231 sf of main level living space! Original cedar and cypress interiors, limestone flooring, custom 6 inch plaster crown molding and an imported Murano chandelier reflect the home's timeless character. The cedar-lined family room and cypress-paneled library are standout spaces rarely found today. Thoughtfully updated for modern living, the home features heated floors in the family room, laundry room, half bath, and game room, along with a brand-new full bath and half bath. Bright living room with a cozy fireplace and custom built-in shelving along with a formal dining room filled with natural light. The spacious eat-in kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances and cork flooring. The master bedroom is exceptionally spacious and features a huge closet. Two additional good sized bedrooms and updated full bathroom. A red cedar exterior, copper gutters with gutter guards, Andersen windows, and updated Bosch, GE, and Frigidaire appliances blend durability with convenience. Outside, enjoy winding forest paths, perennial gardens, flowering trees, landscape lighting, expansive grounds zoned for horses and a gorgeous wrap around deck with access to the sunroom. A heated 4+ car garage offers endless possibilities as a workshop, collector's garage, warehouse or entertaining space. Original blueprints are included, adding to the home's unique architectural legacy. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, this is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind mid-century home where exceptional design and modern comfort come together. Newer: boiler, hot water heater (2 years), electric box (2018-19), skylights and driveway sealing (2026). Fantastic location near parks, Metra, the Children's Farm at The Center, library, forest preserves, Northwestern Palos Hospital and quick access to downtown Chicago, shopping and restaurants.
