If quality were determined by name-power alone, then this property is surely among the most significant in Highland Park. Originally designed in 1938 by Fooshee and Cheek (the renowned firm who designed the Highland Park Village), the elegant, airy home has also been painstakingly restored and updated by the best. Noted architect Richard Drummond Davis redesigned the property, preserving its early charm and subtly incorporating the latest in amenities. Award-winning preservation builders Provenance Properties, LLC, and luxury developer Terrasse Properties, LLC, carried out the recent restoration at the highest taste level.

Situated on a 75-foot-wide lot in a coveted block, the home is enhanced by delicate Japanese Maples, a wide stone walkway, gas lanterns and a slate roof. Natural light fills satisfying spaces, defined by wide archways creating an easy flow. The formal living room offers a large, paned bay window, two niches and a fireplace with a marble surround and dentil molding on the mantel. A handsome study off of the living room features wood bookcases and a built-in desk.

The spacious family room is newly constructed and seamlessly designed to blend with the rest of the home. Warmed by a stone fireplace, it incorporates the beautiful outdoor covered living space and pool area through four sets of French doors. A walk-in wet bar with a wine cooler services the family room and study.

Whether for grand seated dinners or comfortable family gatherings, the formal dining room welcomes both with pleasing spatial proportions and floor-to-ceiling windows.

The gourmet kitchen and breakfast room, however, are destined to become the heart of the home. Mosaic tiles with marble and granite surfaces present a light palette against which to house gourmet appliances: a large center island with two warming drawers, a six-burner Wolfe Range, a Sub Zero refrigerator, two Asko dishwashers, a built-in desk and a butlers pantry.

A turned staircase with a wood banister boasts a large window overlooking the front green space. Tucked at the back of the second floor, the serene master suite offers a sitting area with five paned windows viewing the back garden and pool. A luxury marble bath with a spa tub, a steam shower, a dressing table, double vanities, and a grand dressing room/closet create the ultimate in luxury. Three additional bedrooms, each with a private bath, and a utility room are also on this floor.

Elevator-accessed, the third-floor multi-purpose room with a full bath could serve as a playroom, a fifth bedroom, a media room, a children’s den, an office, or a workout room. An electric iron gate opens to the two-car detached garage, which offers guest quarters with a full bath and a kitchenette.

This home’s original design and recent restoration more than reflect the star-quality of its creative team. Whether welcoming guests to a formal dinner party or children home from school, the restored, historic residence embraces all who set foot within. Financing available for qualified buyers.
