About This Property
A rare opportunity to own an architecturally significant
Mid-Century Modern masterpiece by renowned architects Keck & Keck,
nestled on an extraordinary 1.17-acre wooded site in one of East
Highland Park's most coveted locations. Built in 1956 and
thoughtfully rehabbed, this iconic ranch residence seamlessly
blends timeless modernist design with contemporary comfort while
embracing its breathtaking natural surroundings. Privately situated
amid lush woodlands, professionally landscaped native grasses, and
dramatic ravine vistas, the property offers a serene retreat just
moments from Lake Michigan. Expanses of floor-to-ceiling glass
frame the changing seasons like living artwork, dissolving the
boundary between indoors and out, a hallmark of Keck & Keck's
celebrated architectural philosophy. The home's remarkable setting
allows nature to become an integral part of everyday living. Upon
arrival, guests are welcomed through a striking 30-foot gallery
foyer that immediately showcases the home's clean lines, open
sightlines, and exceptional sense of scale. At the heart of the
residence lies a spectacular 23' x 25' courtyard, creating a
private outdoor sanctuary and filling the interior with natural
light from every direction. The gracious living and dining rooms
are anchored by a dramatic see-through fireplace, providing warmth
and visual connection while defining each space. Original
Mid-Century design elements have been beautifully preserved and
enhanced, including expansive walls of glass, soaring beamed
ceilings, slate flooring throughout the common areas, and an
effortless flow ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
The recently renovated and thoughtfully designed kitchen combines
modern functionality with timeless design, featuring custom
cabinetry, granite countertops, Viking stainless steel appliances,
and a built-in banquette that creates an inviting gathering space
for casual meals and conversation. Wide-plank flooring extends
throughout the kitchen and bedroom wing, adding warmth and texture
to the home's refined aesthetic. The spacious primary suite serves
as a peaceful retreat overlooking the surrounding landscape.
Built-in closets provide abundant storage, while the recently
updated ensuite bath offers luxurious finishes including marble
countertops and a stunning walk-in marble shower. Three additional
bedrooms and beautifully appointed bathrooms provide flexibility
for family, guests, or work-from-home living. A distinguished study
with custom built-in shelving creates the perfect library, family
room, or home office while a dedicated laundry room offers
exceptional functionality with additional storage, wet bar, and
second refrigerator. The unfinished basement provides extensive
storage options. The outdoors offers multiple sitting areas
designed to immerse residents in the property's natural beauty.
Mature trees, ravine views, and thoughtfully curated
landscaping create a setting that feels worlds away while remaining
remarkably convenient. Just a 9-minute walk from Moraine Park and
Beach and close to Highland Park's vibrant downtown, this residence
offers an unparalleled combination of architectural significance,
privacy, and location. With its celebrated Keck & Keck pedigree,
iconic Mid-Century Modern design, extensive recent updates, and
remarkable connection to nature, this updated home offers easy
