Located down a long tree-lined lane across from the Open Lands Nature Preserve one finds a fairy-tale like jewel. Completed in 2003, this European, Old World stone and brick manor was designed by award winning architect Rick Swanson. The owner’s love of travel, European architecture and history lend itself to every detail of this expansive and family oriented manor.

Both function and aesthetics were essential design elements as is evident from the Oklahoma limestone exterior and brick accents, interior hand-forged wrought iron details, wide-plank wood flooring, limestone flooring throughout the kitchen and bathrooms all with radiant heating, including the long, winding driveway. Custom landscaping by lead Chicago Botanic Garden designer accents the home year round with bursts of color and texture around the home and expansive back yard.

Experience the tradition and charm of Old World workmanship. Get lost in the storybook details of a winding staircase, stone entry turret and wrought iron balconies that overlook the lush landscapes of a nature preserve and flowering blossoms. This custom home is truly one-of-a-kind and also boasts excellent schools, convenient access to expressways, two Metra train lines and close proximity to Market Square, the charming downtown retail district.
