This is a one-of-a-kind home completed in 2000 and featured on HG TV and has received several awards. The open first floor plan is designed to make entertaining easy and provide ample flexibility. The design is a modern take on cottage-mission style, and while distinctive, fits comfortably in this turn-of -the century neighborhood. Windows are carefully placed to allow maximum light while providing significant privacy. A large masonry see-thru fireplace separates the LR and DR and is a key feature along with the exposed stone wall that runs the length of the home. The home is set back on the lot with generous landscaping and mature trees. The home is located on Washington Park which provides a maintenance free back yard. The vaulted roof, strong fireplace element and the exposed Chilton stone wall all move from the exterior to the interior with a distinct purpose to define circulation of important special relationships. A short walk to the Blue Line and the River Forest metra stop.
