ARCHITECTURALLY SIGNIFICANT home complements the idyllic 5 acre rolling hill landscape, overlooking a peaceful pond. This home is the epitome of MID CENTURY MODERN. The glass, steel, and stone modernist open design let's nature's seasons timelessly surround you as you go about your daily living. Edward D. Dart, the renowned modernist architect, designed this masterpiece as his personal residence and lived here until the early 1970's when it was sold to the current family. A feature article in "Architectural Record Magazine" highlights the home complete with photos and the original floor plan. Mr. Dart added an addition after the publication using an innovative method of styrofoam forms and hand placed stones as concrete was poured to form the exterior walls. He not only designed it but was "hands on" in the construction. Edward Dart (also known for designing Water Tower Place) was an accomplished architect earning 18 AIA awards and made a "Fellow of The American Institute of Architecture". The Art Institute of Chicago also houses a permanent collection of his work. The home is in need of some exterior restoration. The interior is a well preserved time capsule and retains most of it's original features, finishes, and built in furniture. All utilities are on, mechanicals are functioning, and the family exercises the plumbing regularly. Interior photos will be available mid-April.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
