    What's special

    **MULTIPLE OFFERS RECEIVED. HIGHEST AND BEST OFFERS DUE BY THURSDAY 9/14/23 BY 8:00 PM. Nestled among the giant oak trees on 2 acres of fairytale, private land sits this spectacular, Japanese-inspired, one owner, Mid-Century Modern ALL ANGLED home designed by noted architect, Edward R. Humrich. Intended to blend harmoniously with nature, walls of windows, full-window pane French doors, and board-and-batten ceilings make it difficult to tell where the inside stops and outside begins. The great room with full-wall brick hearth is perfectly situated next to the dining room/plant room and kitchen with built-in angled table under the architectural ceiling-mounted shelving unit with lighting to highlight the table. Sub-Zero built-in refrigerator and built-in Thermador oven accompany the original custom cabinetry with undermount lighting and butcher block counters. Step out of the kitchen to the covered "point" outside the home, or out of the great room to the once opened, now enclosed, screened and windowed covered side porch. Behind the great room fireplace is a full utility room large enough to house all the home's mechanicals. Down the hall, two bedrooms are connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath that also opens to the hall. The main bedroom, once the studio, is made private to the outdoors with a top-hung, partial wall feature that provides a visual break from the wooded gardens outside just beyond the glass paneled doors and includes a complete wall of closet space. Between the main bedroom with built-in desk/bookshelves and the carport sits a large work room big enough to expand the main bedroom into a suite if desired without disturbing the original exterior. 2-car carport has seasonal drop-down tarp to block the wind, rain or snow. Down the stone path, a large shed sits among the woods for all your landscaping needs. Award winning Rondout schools and Libertyville High School. Easy expressway access while still living in a remote, wonderland Work of Art. Be sure to check out the 3D Tour for the ultimate online viewing experience.
