This Mid-Century Modern masterpiece was designed by renowned
architect, Edward Dart, and is located within the top rated
STEVENSON HIGH School district. Rarely does one find a gem such as
this. A sprawling 17.9 acre estate built in 1964. Dart's use of
natural materials made him a unique mid-century modern architect.
His use of local brick, "gives the house a touch of humanity", as
he would say. This pure mid-century modern home with more than
7,000 square feet of living space has a pool, pool house
(additional 325+ SF), a studio, 3-car garage, a 3-bedroom
caretaker's cottage (additional 1,600+ SF), barn, outbuilding,
paddocks, pond, and woods. This home transcends time with its
innovative design and livable, warm spaces. It remains authentic
and intact with its original plan - you will fall in love with the
abundant natural light and mesmerizing views from the windows.
Approaching the entrance, you will notice the barreled vault entry
and custom-designed, two-inch-thick arched wooden door. Upon
entering the home, you will be drawn to the eastern views of the
grounds and atrium garden. Clerestory windows capture the light
from the sky and the enormous brick hearth, the heart of the living
room, enriches the lovely, grand space for entertaining. The large
dining room, with a Dart-designed chandelier, overlooks the
sparkling pool and pool house in the distance. The kitchen, with
custom ebony wood cabinets, will delight with its original high-end
stainless steel and black appliances. An additional butler's
pantry, walk-in pantry, and breakfast room complete this extensive
kitchen. The second-floor primary suite has sweeping views of the
east and the adjacent 100+ acre forest preserve, with custom
closets and original bathroom fixtures. The home boasts 3
additional second-floor bedrooms, one en-suite, and an additional
pristine full bathroom. On the main level, there is a
library/office with a full bathroom and guest suite with two
bedrooms, one full bath, and a large sitting area. Additional
features include a pool house with bathroom facilities and multiple
areas for changing. There is also a separate studio with a full
bath which can be utilized as a living space, an office, or
art/yoga/exercise room. The home has been lovingly cared for and
has one additional lot available for a separate building site on
the grounds. This could be a very private family compound with
multi-generational living possibilities. This truly spectacular
home, grand and untouched, with strong lines yet graceful elegance,
is a rare find. It blends beautifully with nature, and exudes
warmth and comfort. Its rich history, its stunning design, and the
privacy it offers, provides a truly amazing opportunity to live in
such surroundings! A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
