Dennis Blair's Schell House - A Mid-Century Modern Masterpiece For Sale

To those discerning few who refuse to settle: That perfect home you’ve been searching for is real. One that combines style, elegance, sophistication, space, modern convenience, proximity to everyday needs - in a top-rated school district, of course – and serenity to melt away life's pesky requirements in a setting of natural beauty. Wrapped up in an uncompromising, exquisite architectural form that simultaneously takes your breath away and yet feels familiar and comfortable, Dennis Blair’s “Schell House” ticks all the boxes on your Dream Home wish list. It’s a masterpiece symphony of form, materials and siting that offers endless opportunity for relaxation and entertainment. Cantilevered out over the terrain, set among towering oaks, hickory trees and prairie landscape, and adjacent to a 50-acre nature preserve, it’s a personal retreat from the surrounding world, hidden in plain sight and close to everything. This stunning residence must be seen in person to be truly appreciated.

Reminds me of Cameron's house in Ferris Buehler's Day Off (actual house in Highland Park, IL).

This is my dream home, perfect, such synergy and harmony. Everything is perfect, nothing is ostentatious.

I'm in the process of designing my retirement home in Hawaii... this mid-century modern is my inspiration. I was originally thinking Modern Bali years ago but MCM always draws me back. My hope is to design a scaled down version (~2200sf) and fit it in an approximate $1/2M budget using modern materials, owner builder elbow grease and eliminating some of the artistic, non-essential components, utilize black lava rock walls versus the split granite. The 1.25 acre lot is already paid for and not part of the budget. Wish me luck!

The beauty of nature and the architecture that enhances your experience is truly amazing. Watching the seasons as they passed by from snow in the winter to spring flowers and long days of summer followed by the changing colors of autumn would be nice to watch from inside this lovely home.

I have Rudolph A. Matern home design. Amazing how MCM homes have everything thought of, space and function.
