If you want a piece of architectural history on a huge plot of city land, this single-family home will be of interest. It was built in 1946 by famed Chicago-area architects Keck + Keck. They specialize in Mid-Century Modern homes and this sprawling single-level brick ranch is a handsome example of the period’s style. The huge Great Room in anchored by a natural stone fireplace. Terrazzo floors flow from room to room and a wall of glass along the rear of the residence opens to the landscaped patio and backyard. There’s a separate bedroom wing complete with its own family room, and a later addition all-glass studio on the other side of the house that brings the outdoors in year-round. Other highlights are a commercial-grade kitchen, custom built-ins, radiant heated floors, solar shade window treatments, 4-zone HVAC, and 2.5-car attached garage. All situated on a wooded 1/3-acre lot in a lovely section of the city’s Northwest Side. View photos and more information here
