532 River Oaks Dr., River Forest, IL 60305

Palm Springs meets River Forest in an exceptional paragon of smooth Mid Century cool. This custom 1952 ranch spectacularly sited in an enclave of retro Martin Braun designed homes is accessed beyond the limestone Waller Gates, preserved as one of River Forest's treasured historic gems. Braun's original style has been transported to the millennium by the current owner, a noted Chicago designer with a distinguished history of remarkable renovations to period pieces like it in the city and suburbs. A wall of windows opens the home to bluestone patios and a lush private landscape bordered by forest preserve woods and gently flowing river beyond. A wand of excellence was waved in the rebuilding of this home from the walls in just a few years ago. The touch of quality is universal throughout and perfection is in the faultless details of an award winning Viking kitchen, sumptuous baths, new windows, new slate tile roof, new hardwood floors, all new systems and functional utilities.
