Nestled at the end of a private drive on five fenced acres of mature oaks and pines, this exceptional Mid-Century Modern residence is framed by a tranquil pond with a floating fountain, striking sunset views and an ever-changing seasonal landscape. It is truly a one-of-a-kind property in Highland Park.
Designed by acclaimed architects Zbigniew and Krystyna Cianciara as their own private residence, the home is defined by soaring wood-beam ceilings, exposed brick and dramatic walls of glass that flood the interior with natural light. The flexible 4,600 SF floor plan expands to nearly 7,000 SF of total built footprint including substantial outdoor living spaces. Ceilings reach 9.5 feet throughout and soar to 20 feet in the central atrium, where an exposed brick feature wall anchors the home with fireplaces on multiple levels.
Situated in coveted Sherwood Forest, the property spans two legal parcels, a rare combination of acreage, opportunity and seclusion just minutes from downtown Highland Park, Ravinia Festival and Lake Michigan beaches.
