‘Feast for the eyes’ hits the market in Chicago. Check out the magazine-worthy estate
A work of art by an influential architect has landed on the real estate market in Chicago for a pretty penny.
The five-bedroom, six-bathroom home, listed for $7.25 million, was designed by the late architect Brad Lynch, who molded his work after that of the famous Frank Lloyd Wright. His first work was managing the restoration of Wright’s Herbert Jacobs house — and this 8,000-square-foot house is no different.
“Chicago’s finest modern estate,” the listing on Compass says. “Spanning three city lots surrounding an enormous private inner courtyard, this timeless award-winning residence - featured in numerous magazines - offers privacy, serenity, and the opportunity for grand-scale indoor and outdoor entertaining.”
The listing called the home “a feast for the eyes and senses, where light, materials, and structure intersect to create a sublime oasis in the heart of the city.”
While the outside may look inconspicuous, features flowing throughout the large home stick out in a chic way, including:
Hidden pocket doors
Chef’s kitchen
Mudroom
Five car garage
Flex top floor
Two roof terraces
“It was really Brad Lynch’s tour de force,” listing agent Brad Lippitz told Realtor.com. “It’s a timeless, modern masterpiece.”
Lippitz also noted the next owner should be someone who has a love for modern architecture and considers it an art form.
“The buyer is either somebody with a deep appreciation for the architectural purity of the house, or it could be for an athlete, or someone in the entertainment industry. It is a trophy house.”
