Are you looking for a unique estate to call home? Do you have an appreciation for Mid Century Modern and Prairie Style design? Then a private viewing of Tanmor Estate needs to be the next appointment you make! Serene and inspiring feelings begin to encompass your mind as you pass through the entry gates and arrive on the grounds of this home. One's affinity of the home compounds as you enter into the grand living room with soaring redwood beamed ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows which offer expansive views of the surrounding landscape, giving you the sense of living within nature. The home is surrounded by terraces offering private views in every direction. The kitchen is designed for entertaining with its massive island along with informal and formal dining opportunities. At every turn, you'll see visual elements and esthetics that you won't see in any other home. From the suspended staircase to the enormous redwood timbers supporting the flat roofs, and everywhere between, the details will exceed your expectations. This home boasts over 6800sf of living space on over 4 acres of partially wooded land, giving you complete privacy while still being close to shopping, the Metra Station, restaurants and nature trails. Move in while the weather is warm and get ready to be the house everyone wants to be invited to...games on the great lawn, swimming in the in-ground heated pool, BBQ's on the multi-level landscaped brick paver patio. Relax or entertain guests on the 2nd level, in the Great Room featuring a family room/media room with fireplace, wet bar, game room and access to the screened porch and pond view terrace. You could even stock the pond with your favorite fish! The privacy of the master bedroom suite offers a sitting room with fireplace, 2 walk in closets, a wooded-view balcony and luxurious master bath. This estate is a treasure in the Southwest Suburbs of Chicago, it awaits an inspired new owner who has an eye for detail and design, and a love of all things Mid Century Modern. It's said, the architect was a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, it's a mystery though we don't know his name.
