Welcome to the Warren Hickox House, a timeless masterpiece nestled along the picturesque Kankakee River in scenic Kankakee. Designed by the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright, often hailed as the greatest American architect of all time, this home exudes warmth and charm from the moment you step inside. The home, considered one of Wright's first Prairie-style designs, was finished in plaster and dark wood trim, the Hickox House features flared roof ridges evocative of Japanese architecture/geometry, a favorite of Wright-the tent-like quality embraces the varied forms below. Step into this inviting and light-filled space where Wright's genius truly shines. The entryway is large, inviting, light-filled, and flanked by Wright's built-in seating. A small, screened "social office" off the entryway is where Mr Wright would showcase the home to prospective clients from Oak Park and Chicago. Beyond the welcoming entry, the wide, open living space showcases a modified cruciform design, and doorways between the alcoves (now used as a large dining and Library/Office) and living room create a seamless flow of space, enhancing the feeling of openness. Signature Roman bricks comprise the original fireplace, just beautiful. Thin bands of leaded glass span the bay windows that surround the 1st floor effortlessly merging the interior with the surrounding landscape, bathing the home in natural light. Upstairs, 4 well-proportioned bedrooms await, including a primary bedroom adorned with original built-ins and additional original leaded glass windows. The Hickox House seamlessly blends form and function, providing both elegance and comfort for everyday living. Beyond its stunning architectural significance, this residence offers an unparalleled location near parks and the prestigious country club, allowing residents to indulge in a lifestyle of leisure and tranquility, surrounded by nature's beauty.
