About This Home

As of August 2025

Step into architectural distinction with this exceptional all-brick ranch home, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and offering over 3200 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space-showcasing exposed wood beams and rich wood ceilings throughout the main floor. Nestled in a sought-after Sycamore neighborhood, this residence blends timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort. A ceramic-tiled entryway welcomes you into the sunken living room, where a wood-burning brick fireplace, exposed beams, and gleaming hardwood floors set a warm and inviting tone. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight-featuring custom Brazilian walnut countertops, maple cabinetry, a breakfast bar, and stainless appliances, including a wine fridge. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area features hardwood flooring, a charming antique church pew (included), and sliding glass doors leading to a sun-drenched three-season sunroom. With two skylights, tiled flooring, and a newly updated ceiling, the sunroom serves as a peaceful retreat all year round. The primary suite is a serene sanctuary with dual closets, custom inlay hardwood floors, and direct access to the sunroom. The main bathroom offers cherry floors, tile details, and a tub/shower combo. Two additional bedrooms feature hardwood floors, exposed beams, and ceiling fans. A half bath and generous hallway storage complete the main level. Downstairs, the finished basement impresses with floating wood stairs leading to a spacious family room, game room, office, workshop, laundry area, and abundant storage. A Permaseal drain tile system with a transferable warranty, sump pump with battery backup, utility sink, and hobby area offer peace of mind and functionality. Step outside to your private backyard oasis-fully fenced and professionally landscaped with vibrant perennials and annuals. Enjoy evenings around the custom firepit with electrical hookups, entertain on the stone patio, or relax by the tiered garden. Brick pavers surround the perimeter for a refined finishing touch. Recently painted and meticulously maintained, this home is a rare architectural treasure. Schedule your private showing today and experience the unmatched charm and quality of this Sycamore standout.
