35444 Irene Road Kirkland, IL 60146
Truly an ARCHITECTURAL MASTERPIECE! Rising boldly from a serene sweep of farmland, this home's construction jigsaws hand-split stone and massive wood beams surrounding a graceful, free-hanging spiral staircase that can only be described as a work of art. This home defies classification and speaks to the fact that it was designed by award-winning architect, Don Erickson, who studied with Frank Lloyd Wright! Like the exterior, inside walls are built of natural stone, rough wood and windows that are curtained by views of trees and nature. A vast 4-paned skylight at the apex of the roof brings the outdoors in as the day changes with an overhead menagerie of blue skies and white clouds to the moon and starry nights. Organic in nature, you'll be in awe as you enter the atrium-style foyer, complete with a pathway of black stone and wood log rounds that lead you to the beauty and wonder of the heart of the home. On the ground level you'll find access to both heated garages, a full bath, and a family room that could double as a 3rd bedroom, complete with its own stone fireplace and a wide panel of doors that can be opened to the atrium to enjoy the light and connectivity offered by the unique design. As you ascend the stairs, your eyes are drawn upwards to the swooping ceiling of curved beams and the open air feel of an amazing Great Room floorplan, anchored by a second, broad-hearthed stone fireplace, wall of windows, and a modern kitchen concept. Slider doors lead to multiple balconies that overlook 5 ACRES of picturesque country views and feature rain chains that provide interest and were originally added to serve as downspouts! You'll be delighted with the Primary Suite boasting a full, updated bath and walk-in closet with convenient laundry. The 2nd bedroom also presents an ensuite bath and a built-in ladder to a loft where you can display your luxurious plants or treasured statement piece. Private outdoor living in this rural setting can only bring you peace and comfort while you work your garden and take advantage of the expansive yard topped off with 3 apple and 2 pear trees. A traditional wood-frame barn with an updated metal roof will house your favorite animal friends or serve as a workshop and storage. The walk-up second story provides endless possibilities, and a little cabin-style shed with a brick and stone fireplace can be transformed into whatever your heart desires, so let your imagination wander! Important updates include all 3 bathrooms, barn roof, 2 furnaces & house roof (2018), central air (2021), kitchen counter resurface, entry door, slider door, carpet, balcony deck and more. Conveniently located just North of RTE #72 and approx 6 miles S of I-90 access. Leave the hustle and bustle behind and nestle into this once in a lifetime opportunity to own and experience a "dream-beyond" dream home of magnificence! ZONED A-1, Hiawatha School District 426.
