19422 Woodedge Lane Mokena, IL 60448

Let's get perfectly "Frank." Rarely can one find the essence of the Frank Lloyd Wright style of architecture that permeates all that the man represented; form, function, and nature. Welcome to 19422 Woodedge Ln, Mokena, IL. Located on a quiet wooded cul-de-sac, this authentic 1950's mid-century modern, prairie-style home is built with purely-executed organic architecture that marries outdoor with indoor, ensuring that all elements, interior and exterior, are unified. Hence, this home is built to fit INTO the landscape, blending in to the surroundings, taking full advantage of the natural resources; terrain, sun direction, trees, shrubbery, etc. The home has been renovated and renewed by this multiple-decade owner, always maintaining fundamental and authentic integrity with a passion for enshrining and perpetuating its original luster. Surrounded by 1+ wooded, park-like acres one can witness from any room, through the classic Wright-style floor-to-11ft-ceiling windows, the outdoors while within the controlled comfort of the indoors. A slate-floored foyer welcomes you to magnificence as your eyes are naturally drawn to the opulent, open 25'x18' living room surrounded by colossal walled panels of sun-drenching glass providing passive solar heating on sunny cold winter days. (Click the virtual tour for YouTube video of some replaced windows!) The 17ft stretch of stone knee wall/hearth to the first of this home's 4 fireplaces is quite impressive. Majestic, robust Douglas Fir beams hold sway to the home's expansiveness, connected by intricate tongue-and-groove ceiling slats. The flow of rooms is reminiscent of an architectural art gallery with its perfect blend of material and space. The kitchen is framed by a capacious wall of cabinetry, 11ft breakfast bar island, 7ft hand-forged steel pot rack above, and a solid wall of stately exalted stone. No need for family room television watching when 3 huge plate-glass windows provide the perfect screen of your own "private membership" to the Autobahn Society with birds of every kind coming to visit the wooded acreage. Or just enjoy the glow of a 2-sided fireplace that shares its employment with the sunroom/office with yet MORE views of flora and fauna as well as access to the 52ft deck sprawling across the entire side of the house. The remainder of the main floor are a generous master bedroom, 2 additional bedrooms, full bath, powder room, laundry room, and a hall of multiple closets. But it doesn't stop here. This home delivers a stunning walkout basement leading to a flagstone grotto with protective overhang from the deck above. The studio/recreation room reveals yet a 4th fireplace, full bath, several closets, storage room, electrical/utility room, and access to a huge insulated crawl space. Some last thoughts... Whisper Creek playground and open field are 100 yards away. The home is zoned for heating/cooling with 2 separate systems. There is a 16kW Generac whole-house generator, 2.5 car attached garage, countless trees, park benches, and at least 10 perennial garden beds to meander.
