1101 S Rose Ave., Park Ridge, IL 60068

Mid-century modern masterpiece situated on a half-acre wooded lot in the desirable Southwest Woods neighborhood. Designed by the architectural firm, Huebner & Henneberg, this contemporary ranch of glass, wood, and poured concrete is built around a central atrium and includes seven private, Japanese-inspired gardens. Magnificent views, thanks to floor to ceiling windows/doors, peacefully blend the interior with the outdoors. The modern, Zen layout can be easily modified by opening or closing the expertly crafted Shoji and Fusuma sliding doors. A massive, sculptural fireplace, an interior garden/moat with bridge, vaulted ceilings, and a Japanese Tatami Room are just some of the architectural elements in this fantastic home. The basement includes a sauna, 4th full bath, and an additional 3500 sq ft (estimated), just waiting to be finished. Top-scoring Washington Elementary, Lincoln Middle & Maine South high school (just steps away). Custom built for the original owners; this gem is truly a one-of-a-kind home.
