This couple purchased a second home as a respite from city living. Living primarily in downtown Chicago the couple desired a place to connect with nature. The home is located on 80 acres and is situated far back on a wooded lot with a pond, pool and a detached rec room. The home includes four bedrooms and one bunkroom along with five full baths. The home was stripped down to the studs, a total gut. Linc modified the exterior and created a modern look by removing the balconies on the exterior, removing the roof overhang, adding vertical siding and painting the structure black. The garage was converted into a detached rec room and a new pool was added complete with outdoor shower, concrete pavers, ipe wood wall and a limestone surround. Porch Details: Features Eze Breezy Fold down windows and door, radiant flooring, wood paneling and shiplap ceiling. -Sconces, Wayfair -New deck off the porch for dining

Within a relatively compact living room, a variety of activities are accommodated by a uniquely curved upholstered seat that lines three walls - its depth varies to allow for: conversations, music listening, lounging, reading, napping, etc.

The Library features custom wood panels and classical architectural details throughout. The doorway is marked by a carved, wood, classical temple font. There are built-in bookshelves and cornice molding along the perimeter of the ceiling. The sofa is leather, and button tufted and is accompanied by a leather armchair. The chandelier is iron and glass. Mark Lohman Photography

An open living room removes barriers within the house so you can all be together, even when you're apart. We partnered with Jennifer Allison Design on this project. Her design firm contacted us to paint the entire house - inside and out. Images are used with permission. You can contact her at (310) 488-0331 for more information.
