This home was originally constructed in 1970 by Joliet-native architect and engineer, Sanger Westphal who lived in this house until 1998. The post and beam construction is characterized by the floating staircase, large windows, exposed brick and pine ceilings throughout the upstairs, making it a perfect blend between mid century modern and contemporary architecture.
Maintained and updated over the years, this modern home now boasts 3400 square feet that include an office, chef's kitchen, salon, a flexible media room and 4 bedrooms with beautiful views of the creek, flowing through the wooded lot.
At the heart of this home is the custom kitchen - truly a chef's kitchen! With over 80 sq ft of countertop plus the 14 foot eat in counter space there is plenty of room for multiple chefs. Other features include; prep sink, built-in commercial sized fridge and freezer, double wall ovens, built-in convection microwave and a 50-amp JennAir induction cooktop.
You’ll find beautiful and consistent white oak floors throughout the main level and upstairs and luxury vinyl in the finished basement. The basement is a seamless continuation of living space for family fun – the cozy video game space under the stairs, plenty of open play room, and a theater space ready to host a super bowl party or close the curtain to create the perfect venue for family movie night.
Rest assured, the property has been maintained with recent major utility work including a new roof, new HVAC system, extensive tree trimming, new water pressure tank, and a concrete patio adding outdoor living space.
This property is being listed by the owners who are willing to work with agents or directly with buyers.
