Architecture Wednesday: Harry Weese Designed Modern Tudor

This extraordinary Harry Weese designed home, with pool and tennis court, sits along the Kishwaukee River just 65 miles from downtown Chicago. The mashup of Tudor and Modern, features a stunning main level with teak and oak floors, a full height stone fireplace, soaring ceilings and large windows, and sunken conversation pit. Bluestone pavers in the foyer extend to the patio and pool area, while multiple decks cantilever over the river.

The renovated kitchen is equipped with premium appliances, cherry cabinets and a breakfast area solarium overlooking the river. The primary bedroom suite has a spa-inspired bath, walk-in closet with original built-in cabinetry, and opens to a second story office loft. The second story also includes two other offices, two bedrooms and a full bath, connected by a suspended bridge above the main living and dining areas. The upper and lower levels are accessed by a spiral staircase and an open riser floating staircase on opposite side of the catwalk. The lower level has a bedroom, full bath, recreation area, game room and gas fireplace.

This four bedroom three-and-a-half-bathroom home is made for entertaining. There are multiple gathering areas, from the leaf shaped outdoor pool, the interior whirlpool, to the outdoors along the river, perfect for kayaking in the summer, jogging along in the fall, or cross-country skiing in the winter.

Yours for just $899,000.
