About This Home

Step into a secluded haven across the street from the Berkeley Prairie Forest Preserve-an extraordinary mid-century modern cedar home crafted by architect Roy Binkley. Nestled within a serene and secluded setting, this property offers tranquility and a truly unique living experience unmatched in the market. As you enter, be captivated by the seamless blend of nature and architecture through floor-to-ceiling windows that bathe the interior in natural light. Soaring ceilings create an airy atmosphere, while the blue stone and oak floors exude sophistication and warmth throughout the home. Entertain effortlessly or unwind in style on the expansive wraparound deck, offering panoramic views of your private tennis court and flora on this .96-acre property. For the avid tennis player, indulge in your passion on the private Har-Tru green clay tennis court, complete with a tennis shed and shower for added convenience. An outdoor sprinkler system maintains the lush surroundings with ease. Car enthusiasts will revel in the five-car attached heated garage, while an additional standalone garage offers even more space for vehicles or storage. The house is built on steel beam construction and is complemented by a full basement with workshop, two separate HVAC systems, and two sump pumps. New elastomeric roof with skylights installed in 2021. This home, being sold as-is, presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history and a sanctuary of tranquility surrounded by some of the North Shore's finest multi-million dollar homes.
