Sellers will entertain back up offers. Featured in the NY Times, Crains Chicago & Chicago Magazine! Stunning one of a kind mid-century modern masterpiece designed by Philip Thrane, a student of Mies Van Der Rohe, as his own residence. When designing a home for himself Thrane succeeded in bringing to life Mies' famous quote "We should attempt to bring nature, houses & human beings together in a higher unity." Set on a beautiful private wooded 1.25 acres with its expansive walls of glass and floor to ceiling windows and doors, the house relates closely to nature and ties strongly with its serene surroundings. This Miesian influenced steel and glass structure is an amazing example of clean sleek lines, simplicity of design and powerful symmetry. The present owners have been tremendous stewards of this architectural work of art and have restored and updated it to todays standards of luxurious living. Live in a work of art and commune with nature. Conveniently located in idyllic Village of Riverwoods with its country setting yet minutes to shopping, dining, schools, and easy access to transportation.
