About This Property

A rare architectural residence in Chicago's western suburbs,  Sahgal House, offers 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and more than 5,500 square feet across multiple levels, privately positioned on an elevated 0.62-acre corner parcel. This singular and unique property offers a thoughtful expression of Northern California Mid-Century Modernism and Sea Ranch-influenced design. Set within Oak Brook's Ginger Creek neighborhood, the house is defined by soaring volumes, abundant natural light, deliberate sight lines, and a restrained palette of natural materials and organic forms. This home is your sanctuary where you can take a deep breath and be inspired by living in a work of art.   The residence was taken back to the studs in a comprehensive renovation that respected its architectural origins while reimagining the home for contemporary living. Distinctive original elements, including redwood ceilings and Chicago common brick, were retained and integrated with new materials and finishes chosen for their texture, scale, and visual continuity. The floor plan was selectively reworked with a remarkably light touch of strategic intervention and creativity.  The experience of the home is intentionally contemplative. A dramatic 2.5-story stairwell atrium serves as its uniting element, connecting each level while volumetric clerestory windows draw daylight deep into the interior. Natural textures, shifting ceiling heights, framed views, and unexpected moments create a sequence of spaces that reveal themselves gradually. The architecture provides an unusually sympathetic setting for art, sculpture, and collectible design.  For those who appreciate the intellectual rigor of Mid-Century Modern architecture, the home offers both a considered restoration and an opportunity for further authorship. The architecture unfolds with a serenity and Zen-like vibe that makes it truly worthy of experiencing. The design and architectural intentions remain legible, while select elements, including the potential restoration of the original porch designs invite continued interpretation. Ginger Creek provides a distinctive suburban setting with convenient access to Chicago, major airports, interstate highways, and commuter rail, bringing a highly individual architectural residence within easy reach of the city. Move Confidently.
