Einfamilienhaus/Haus Highland Park Vereinigte Staaten Von Amerika

A rare North Shore offering, this architecturally significant Mid-Century Modern residence is tucked at the end of a private drive on five fenced acres of mature oaks and pines. A tranquil pond with a floating fountain, striking sunset views, and an evolving seasonal landscape frame this modernist retreat. Combining architectural pedigree with extraordinary privacy, this is truly a one-of-a-kind property in Highland Park. Designed by architects Zbigniew and Krystyna Cianciara as their private residence, the home is defined by soaring wood-beam ceilings, exposed brick, and dramatic walls of glass that flood the interior with natural light while creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. The flexible 4,600-square-foot floor plan is complemented by expansive outdoor living spaces and ancillary areas, bringing the property’s total footprint to nearly 7,000 square feet. Ceiling heights reach 9.5 feet throughout the residence and soar to 20 feet in the central living space, where a striking exposed brick feature wall anchors the home with fireplaces on multiple levels. The primary suite includes separate dressing and bath areas. A dedicated home office with a separate entrance is well suited for remote work or professional use. With full-size windows throughout, the finished walk-out English basement features a substantial recreation room, a guest suite, and a secondary kitchen. An expansive 750-square-foot cedar deck extends the home’s living and entertaining spaces with a bar, gas fire table, and generous built-in seating. Five private balconies provide panoramic views over the pond and park-like grounds, while below, a pebble beach and wood-burning fire pit create a peaceful setting surrounded by nature. A covered walkway just steps from the residence leads to the two-car garage through a versatile mudroom with pantry storage and workspace. Dedicated parking accommodates four additional vehicles. Situated in coveted Sherwood Forest, the property spans two legal parcels, offering a rare combination of acreage, opportunity, and seclusion while remaining just minutes from downtown Highland Park, Ravinia Festival, Lake Michigan beaches, the Chicago Botanic Garden, and Metra service to Chicago. Located within the highly regarded Districts 109 and 113, the property offers a choice between Highland Park High School and Deerfield High School.
