Historic Frank Lloyd Wright Designed Home! START PACKIN' CALL McCRACKEN! Berry McCracken 815 954-7761! Considered by some to be Frank Lloyd Wrights first completed Prairie-Style home, the Bradley House is a rare chance to own the home that changed the face of architecture! The two story Bradley House is built on the banks of the Kankakee River in Kankakee, Illinois. It also has the rare distinction of being next door to another Wright-designed home. The one acre property has approximately 250 feet of river frontage, a concrete dock platform, and a fully restored carriage house, also designed by Wright. Built in 1901, the home showcases Wrights revolutionary emphasis on the flow and transition between spaces. Rooms merge seamlessly in the open floor plan. Ceilings vary in height and form, defining the space below them. Wrights natural palette of colors fills the home with warm organic hues. The brown of the quarter-sawn oak wood is complemented by deep reds, mossy greens and cool yellows on the textured plaster walls, giving distinction to every space. The meticulous restoration by its current owners has brought the Bradley House to its original glory. Updated with modern utilities, it has 6-zone programmable heating and cooling, security system, and heated floors in select rooms. A roof covers part of the circular carriage way and the main entrance, which opens to a grand foyer and music room. The large living room features a massive horizontal stone fireplace, and bay window with built-in cushioned seating and Wrights signature leaded art glass windows. Two small alcoves flank the living room and open to the hidden terrace outside. A dining room with built-in hutch features light screens above the dining room table and chairs which replicated the original ones designed by Wright. An enclosed sun porch wraps around the southeast corner with a stunning view of the river. A guestroom/nannys quarters on main floor also has many built-ins and could be a main floor master bedroom suite! The first floor also has 1-1/2 baths, walk-in closet, and a huge kitchen with black soapstone sink. Off the main kitchen are a pantry and two prep rooms with modern appliances. The second floor has 6 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a walk-in dressing room. The bay window of the living room repeats above in the master bedroom. A glass-enclosed sunbathed porch overlooks the river, an ideal study or office. There is a laundry room on the second floor and another in the full basement. A breezeway extends from the back of the home to the carriage house, which houses a horse stall and kennel, gift shop, office, refrigeration unit, and ample storage space on its two floors. The Bradley House is set in the residential Riverview Historic District but zoned commercial, reflecting its past as a restaurant and legal office. The owners hope that the Bradley House becomes a non-profit tourist site or civic center. Other qualified and serious buyers could buy the home for a private residence, or a selected commercial purpose. This move-in condition masterpiece is an hours drive from Chicago. Five minutes from Interstate 57, and 10 minutes from the Greater Kankakee Airport. The Bradley House awaits the next owner who will continue its fine history! + See Feature List
