16523 118th Ave., Orland Park, IL 60467

Bring your creative flair! This one-of-a-kind, mid century modern home was the vision of architect Ralph David Anderson in 1964. His belief that everyone should own a little piece of nature is evident. Set on 5 acres in unincorporated Orland Park this home has proven timeless and with endless opportunity. Long curved drive surrounded by open space, welcomes you to the covered front porch. Two entrances, one leading to the heart of the home, and the other to an upper level studio space with loft, bedroom and full bathroom. This would be a nice related living or "work from home" option. Joined by a beautiful indoor/outdoor courtyard, the main living area is equally unique and refreshing. Slate flooring opens to the living room with book shelves and built-in desk space. Architectural details of the wood and beamed ceiling would showcase this well as a library or office too. Pass thru foyer access to the formal dining room and family room with two-sided fireplace and oversized picturesque windows with nature views that top any wall art you could imagine!! Coffee house style kitchen with a large breakfast bar for mealtime and two sliding glass doors spilling with sunshine and providing access to backyard deck for outdoor dining. A wall of wood cabinetry and appliances to prepare your home cooked meals. Even a prep station with pantry closet, beverage fridge and counter/cabinet workspace. Access to lower level with storage and separate laundry area. Private hall to primary ensuite and additional bedroom that is currently being used as a ginormous closet. Sliding door access to courtyard, expansive overhead skylight and accent Chicago granite paver wall make your night time slumbers feel like a cabin getaway. Large foot spa inspired shower with private commode and a wall of windows to invigorate your morning routine. You'll love living here, but when you step outdoors the fun really begins. A barn with 3 stalls and outdoor pen could be used as a work space or check with the county on what animal friends you could add to your family. Tranquil creek runs through the backyard with overlooking bridge complete with benches. Serenity surrounds this forever home. No close neighbors on five acres in the heart of Orland Park with all its many amenities, shopping and dining. Oh, and let's not forget the award winning school system. Ralph Anderson had a vision that he would create something so beautiful the owner would anticipate the return home and the respite it would provide. Who says you need an hour commute to live as one with nature!
