The opportunity is here once again. The current owners have been offered a job opportunity moving to Europe which allows this home to become available way sooner than they wanted! The iconic Frank Lloyd Wrights' influence shines bright in his apprentice Don Erickson's Mid-Century Modern design which was artfully crafted for his father right here in Inverness. Situated on a 1.6 acre lot adorned with mature trees and rolling views, this home takes advantage of all the magnificent sight lines created in the design features. New septic system installed 2021 too! The artistic elements which are hallmarks include horizontal raked mortar joints, the ceilings are lap-straked redwood planks and the diamond cut windows stretch 15' upwards to give you the most dramatic and awe-inspiring ever changing views. This home can entertain parties in grand scale whether inside or outside on the expansive lawn. The horizontal lines of windows, organic materials with exposed brick on the interior, natural wood, radiant heated floors and slightly sloping roof with generous overhangs are the calling cards of Wright designs. The Great Room has angular windows which take in the extremely private treed lot, the Kitchen was completely remodeled with fixtures from the Merchandise Mart, granite counters, SS appliances & Neff cabinetry with soft close drawers. One wing of the home has the Primary Bedroom Suite with a wall of built in closets & shelving, the Bedroom has a fireplace and sliding doors to private patio and the Primary Bath has a separate whirlpool tub and full wall vanity with floor to ceiling window. The opposite wing houses the additional 3 bedrooms which includes a 2nd Primary Bedroom suite with cozy fireplace and it's own bath. The additional bedrooms have angular rooms, built in shelving and cabinets and horizontal window lines. The Master Wing has a basement underneath (great for media room!) and has forced air gas and central air. The remainder of the home has baseboard hot water heat and radiant heated floors and newly installed "Mitsubishi Split Units" allowing for extremely efficient modern air conditioning! The garage is offset and can house 2+ autos (smaller sports car or motorcycles) in addition to two cars. The dual semi-circular brick walls set off the backyard area. Tons of space to spread out, top notch schools, short drive to Metra and I90 and yet you still have a neighborhood with expansive lots and rolling land. A treasure of sought after and historic design all wrapped up in an easy living Ranch home.

A truly inspiring Frank Llyod Wright style mid-century contemporary designed by Don Erickson, a student of Mr Wright. You no longer need to admire art, Mr Erickson elevated architecture to an art form you can live in! The stylings of modernism are captured both inside & out. The open floor concept is captured in the dramatic details at every turn, including the stunning new kicthen!
