Résidence Unifamiliale À River Forest

Welcome to the Chauncey Williams House built in 1895. This is the first Frank Lloyd Wright house to show the Oriental influence with the stone boulders around the arched front entrance and foundation. The quatrefoil front window is also unique to Wright’s design of this spectacular home. Wright designed the steeply pitched roof with a wide overhang and dormer windows and a massive chimney. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history set on a picturesque 125’ x 200’ lot. The spacious entryway invites you into this lovely home with original details and hardwood flooring throughout. The expansive living room showcases the original beamed ceiling and large fireplace. Built-in cabinets line the arched hallway leading to the Octagonal library with a Roman brick fireplace and additional bookcases. The grand dining room has the original chandelier and a fireplace. It will be perfect for your family and friends to gather together for years to come. The butler’s pantry leads to the large kitchen. There is a large family room that spans the rear of the home overlooking the gorgeous private backyard with two separate patio areas. The front staircase leads to the original stained glass window on the ceiling of the second floor. There are four large bedrooms on the second floor.
