321 Arlington Rd, Itasca, IL 60143

We are pleased to present the unique opportunity to purchase a restored Midcentury Modern gem. 321 Arlington sits on one of the most desirable lots in one of the most desirable parts of town, the Old Country Club Estates. This home enjoys a curving corner lot spread over 1/2 acre, set high with sweeping views of mature flora, other well maintained custom homes and the nearby golf course. This setting was undoubtedly not lost on the original architect, Alfred Mell, who was an associate of Mies van der Rohe. With this prime location, blocks to the center of town, your kids can walk to top rated schools while you walk to the train, dinner or the country club for cocktails. The focus of this restoration was to strike a balance between modern efficiencies and maintaining a period correct Midcentury Modern aesthetic. Any fan of this style will be envious of the numerous original custom details such as paneled walls, custom millwork, built-ins, Geneva steel cabinetry, pocket doors, floating slate fireplace hearth, select vintage light fixtures, a tiki bar basement lounge (!!!) and even an NBC doorbell ringtone. Modern upgrades include new bathrooms, main floor laundry, roof, gutters, windows, attic insulation, plumbing & lighting. The floor plan is efficient with unusual features for a midcentury home such as a kitchen open to the dining area, ensuite master bath and a convenient mudroom. Midcentury Modern architectural features include a distinctive south facing wall of windows, 4' soffit overhangs, runway lighting and brick exterior. Additional niceties include new solid white oak floors throughout, Bertazzoni appliances, masonry fireplace, oversized heated garage, pet-washing station, brand new driveway & attached screen porch. Recently featured in Crains Chicago Business, the restored kitchen features new custom walnut counters & backsplash "for a clean-lined forever modern look". This turn-key home exudes classic style combined with modern living. Custom restored, mindful of quality. Builder is a licensed IL realtor.
