Property Description

Built in 1953 and inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's principles of organic architecture, this architecturally distinctive Mid-Century Modern home is one of only a handful of its kind in the area. Set on a landscaped .28-acre lot, the home welcomes visitors through a three-season porch into an updated interior with rich hardwood floors throughout. Expansive wraparound Pella windows fill the open living and dining areas with natural light, while a striking brick fireplace serves as the focal point of the space. These interconnected living spaces create an inviting environment for everyday living and entertaining. The remodeled kitchen features hickory cabinetry, soapstone countertops and flooring, stainless steel appliances, and warm cedar accents. Three spacious bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations, while updated bathrooms showcase natural materials, organic textures, and carefully curated finishes. The finished lower level adds exceptional versatility with a dedicated flex room ideal for a home office, studio, wellness practice, fitness space, or creative retreat. Beyond French doors, a spacious family room provides additional living space. A third full bath, laundry room, and abundant storage complete the lower level. Outside, a large tiered deck, multiple patios, pergolas, ponds, a rain wall, and a fire pit create inviting outdoor living spaces. Thoughtfully designed landscaping, natural screening, and a fully fenced backyard provide privacy for relaxation and entertaining. Ideally located in Munster, the home is minutes from award-winning schools, the expanding medical district, Centennial Park, shopping, dining, and major commuter routes. Enjoy easy access to the Pennsy Greenway and Monon Trail, as well as the Monon Extension to the South Shore Line with rail service to downtown Chicago. A rare opportunity to own a timeless piece of Mid-Century Modern architecture.
