A rare opportunity decades in the making. Offered for the first time in over 60 years, this authentic mid-century modern home was originally built in 1952 by a California mid-century modern architect and thoughtfully preserved by only its second owner. Set on over half an acre with a circular driveway, the property enjoys a serene location across from a forest preserve, offering privacy and a strong connection to nature. The expansive living lounge is the heart of the home, featuring full Philippine mahogany wood walls that bring rich, warm tones and striking natural grain. Vaulted ceilings with dramatic beams and a stone wood-burning fireplace create a space that feels both grand and inviting. The kitchen offers timeless cabinetry and updated appliances, blending classic design with modern functionality. While the home has been carefully maintained, bathrooms, flooring, and walls present an opportunity for thoughtful updates, allowing the next owner to enhance the space while honoring its architectural integrity. A screened porch, perennial gardens, and mature trees complete the setting. With a few inspired updates, this rare architectural gem is ready to shine again.
