Highland Park, Illinois 60035

A rare opportunity on the North Shore-this architecturally significant Mid-Century Modern residence is tucked at the end of a private drive on 5+ acres of serene, wooded grounds with mature trees, complete with a large fish pond and fountain, striking sunset views, and a landscape that evolves beautifully through every season. Combining exceptional land, privacy, and design pedigree, this is a truly distinctive offering in Highland Park. Defined by clean lines, wood-beam ceilings, exposed brick accents, and dramatic walls of glass, the home is filled with natural light and creates a seamless connection between interior living spaces and the surrounding grounds. 9.5-foot ceilings, soaring to 20 feet in the central living space, enhance both scale and livability. A central exposed brick feature rises through the main living space, anchoring both the main and lower levels, each with its own fireplace. The flexible layout offers over 4,600 SF of living space with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, including a finished walk-out English basement with full-size windows, well-suited for extended living and featuring a secondary kitchen ideal for guests or in-law accommodations. A dedicated home office with its own entrance provides an ideal setting for remote work or professional use, with potential for first-floor suite conversion. The home extends naturally outdoors, with an expansive deck ideal for entertaining and multiple private balconies oriented toward the pond and natural surroundings, creating a private retreat and an oasis of tranquility. Originally designed as a private residence by an architect formerly affiliated with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and later a partner of Bertrand Goldberg Associates, the home reflects a thoughtful interpretation of modernist principles-where structure, light, and landscape are intentionally integrated. Spanning two legal parcels, the property offers flexibility for future use or potential development, combining lifestyle appeal with long-term value. The property is conveniently close to shopping, dining, and commuter access, and falls within the highly regarded District 113, with a choice between Highland Park High School and Deerfield High School.
