Property Description

Step into over 5,000 sq ft of masterfully designed living space in this acclaimed 1897 Elizabeth and Rollin Furbeck House-one of Frank Lloyd Wright's earliest and most innovative residential works. Located on one of Oak Park's most picturesque, tree-lined streets, this rare and major transitional design blends historic architectural significance with modern luxury and livability. Enter through the gracious front porch into a richly detailed interior featuring an open, flowing floor plan-revolutionary for its time and now a hallmark of modern living. The main level begins with a dramatic living room anchored by a stunning fireplace inglenook-perfect for warming up on quiet evenings or gathering with friends. The space flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, which easily accommodates large family gatherings and special occasions. Adjacent to the dining room is the den/media room, where a vaulted ceiling creates a dramatic yet comfortable retreat. A mezzanine reading nook overlooks the main floor, adding a warm, intimate layer to the home's grand scale. The expansive family room and gourmet kitchen-equipped with top-tier appliances and custom cabinetry-anchor the home for daily comfort and entertaining. An endless array of architectural details enrich every room, among them: gorgeous art glass, unique exterior dentil moldings, foot-high baseboards, coved ceilings, custom-made art glass light fixtures modeled after Wright's other famous works, and finely crafted built-ins throughout. The second floor includes three bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with spacious walk-in-closet and oversized spa like bath. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath on the third floor offer flexibility for guests, offices, or creative space. The lower level offers a comfortable recreation room ideal for movie nights, play space, or casual lounging-along with a utility area and plenty of extra storage. Outside, enjoy an oversized lot with a heated pool, Brazilian IPE wood deck, trumpet vine-covered arbor, bluestone patio, and prairie garden-an outdoor oasis for entertaining or unwinding.Five garage spaces across two structures offer flexibility for car collectors-or convert the original stable into a home office, studio, yoga room, pool house, or guest suite. Updated with state-of-the-art mechanicals and smart technology, this is a rare opportunity to own a livable, luxurious piece of architectural history.All within walking distance to top-rated schools, parks, shops, restaurants, and Oak Park's beloved farmers market.
