This remarkable high-quality renovation by noted architect Nathan Kipnis of a classic mid-century modern home is a 2015 Highland Park Preservation Award Winner. Nestled atop a large ravine, the property offers stunning views of nature from every room as well as phenomenal privacy. Walls of windows create an interior awash in natural light. Unique architectural details include herringbone oak floors and a limestone fireplace. The kitchen features gorgeous white cabinets, quartz countertops, Bosch stainless steel appliances, a retro tile backsplash, a touchless faucet and leads to a lovely stone terrace - ideal for relaxing, grilling and more. Featuring high ceilings in the main living areas, the open floor plan offers multiple home office options. An attached garage is pre-wired for an EV charger. All this and within walking distance to Ravinia Music Festival, Rosewood Beach, coffee shops and Metra. Also, close to Chicago Botanic Garden and the Edens X-way. Renovations include new roof, cedar siding, Marvin windows, electrical, plumbing, lighting, insulation, MERV 10 air filtration, driveway and more.
