1. 151 Maple Ave, Highland Park, ILPrice: $1,049,000
Why it’s here: This 1956 home from the firm Keck & Keck is midcentury modern perfection and is on the market for only the second time since it was built.
“They don’t come up on the market very often,” says listing agent Maxine Goldberg. “There are not that many of them, especially … in a great location.”
The home was built for Robert and Claire Misch, according to an article written at the time. An addition expanded the space in 1965.
The home is built around an interior courtyard—the living room, kitchen, and dining area all face walls of glass, bringing in light and passive solar heat.
Brothers George and William Keck were Chicago-based architects known for their modernist designs. From the 1930s through the 1970s, they worked in the area and incorporated “simple lines, uncluttered surfaces, and ample use of glass.” The layout of this 3,430-square-foot home features wood-paneled walls, concrete floors, and walls of glass.
The well-maintained home is being sold as is. The bathrooms have been updated and the roof is just 9 years old.
“It has all the characteristics of a Keck & Keck home,” Goldberg says. “A lover of this architecture will not really want to change it.”
