Wow! That is the reaction when entering this uniquely designed, contemporary custom built home in the Wildwood/Edgebrook neighborhood. This is NOT your typical Chicago home. Soaring angled ceilings with sky-lights, oversized windows, lovely light hardwood floors accented with dark inlay details and a surprising outdoor courtyard. The foyer is striking with its dramatic open staircase that leads your eyes upward to a mezzanine balcony. The LR is cathedral-like with symmetrical columns framing a 2-story wall of glass with views of the Caldwell Woods. There is a free standing brick wood burning fireplace that anchors the room and separates the living space from the foyer. The striking balcony breaks this open space with its classic horizontal lines. From the formal DR you can access the impressive kitchen and inviting family room. This Chefs Kitchen has warm cherry cabinets with leaded glass fronts and granite countertops. There is a large island with a convenient prep sink and seating. There is a Gaggenau built-in cook-top and oven, a paneled refrigerator, trash compactor and built-in desk area.
