Frank Lloyd Wright would have claimed this masterpiece as his own!

From the moment you arrive until the moment you leave this modern Prairie home will keep you spellbound. Only the finest materials were used in the construction of this Prairie gem. Quartersawn Red Oak floors and trim throughout, hand hammered oiled bronze hardware, Roman brick, triple glazed Pella windows, 10 foot ceilings on the lower level, just to name a few. The home is very privately situated on just over a one acre lot with mature trees at the end of a cul-de-sac street. Located less than 10 blocks from the train to Chicago and 3 miles from two major expressways, it is ideally located to take advantage of both the western suburbs and the cultural offerings of the city.

The home features numerous built-in quartersawn red oak Prairie Style furniture groupings. Also available separately are great room, master bedroom, dining and miscellaneous custom built furniture pieces that were created specially for the house. Kitchen, bath and theater cabinetry are all quartersawn red oak with inset doors and hand hammered oiled bronze hardware. The kitchen cabinets have many roll-out shelves for storage convenience.

A paver brick raised patio greats visitors to the home's stunning entrance and a large two level brick patio at the rear is the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining and enjoyment of the home's tranquil setting.

A full THX eight seat two level home theater is the ideal place for "Friday Night at the Movies" or any other day you choose. The adjacent game room/theater lobby sets the stage for another wonderful entertaining spot in the home.

The exercise room features a mirrored wall, commercial rubber gym floor and overhead projection system for workout videos, TV or DVD's while enjoying your daily workout.

The master bedroom suite is anchored by a large bedroom area separated from a sitting/reading/TV area by a custom built two sided fireplace. The sitting area has custom built-in seating with storage beneath. Spanning the entire bedroom and sitting area is a balcony overlooking the woods at the back of the property. Between the bedroom area and the spa/bath area is a very large walk-in closet and a large custom built-in dresser flanked by twin armoires. The bath area features twin vanity areas each with large banks of cabinets for storage, a Kohler whirlpool bath with neck and back massagers. The glass shower cabinet has a large full length seat and twin shower stations with shower head, body sprays and hand held showers. It is also equipped with a steam generator.
