Authentic Mid-Century Modern ranch is nestled on a stunning 1.6 acres parcel in Oaksbury, a desirable neighborhood in Biltmore & North Barrington. A sweeping front yard and circular driveway lead you to the front entry. The stone walkway with an artful planting of evergreens and gardens leads you to a double door entry. Once inside, the wood paneled vaulted ceilings and wall of windows sets the stage for this MCM home with enduring appeal and timeless elements. Southwestern exposure floods the home with natural light. Take in the views of the large yard, gardens, the tranquil ravine setting plus access to the swimming pool, while the flowing floor plan takes you easily to the various primary living spaces in the home. Typical to a MCM home, the rooms are multi-functional including a spacious Living Room with a floor to ceiling brick fireplace and a wall of sliding glass doors to the outside. The Kitchen is the center of the home and features clean lines, plenty of work space, cabinets for storage and overlooks the sunlit Family Room and Breakfast Room. The Family Room features wood flooring, skylights, large windows and access to the brick patio and yard. The current owners used the front room, with a brick fireplace, as their formal Dining Room, however the room is multi-functional. There are two brick patios allowing a peaceful spot for morning coffee or dining al-fresco. The main bedroom wing includes three bedrooms --- The Primary Bedroom boasts views of the yard, vaulted ceilings, built-in dresser, a walk-in closet and a spa-like bathroom with a Ofuro soaking tub with hydrotherapy jets.

There is a fourth ensuite Bedroom which is suited as a teen, guest or in-law suite just beyond the Kitchen. The Lower Level features a REC Room with shelving and a large Storage/Mechanical Room with an exterior service entrance. There is a well placed laundry room, a 2.5 car garage and the gardener will appreciate the raised bed garden area. A superb location, this fabulous home offers picture perfect MCM lifestyle, organic materials with a nod to the clean & simple Japanese inspired design & accents....and a WOW setting that provides an exceptional display of nature all year long!!
