2024 Featured Housewalk Homes
A serene space, with playful touches for their young children, is what this family envisioned when custom building this beautiful home just a couple doors down from their original Glen Ellyn property. After living in the neighborhood for over five years, the couple knew they wanted more room for their young family to play, create, read, and enjoy time together as a family. With the expertise of Studio 1 Architects, the owners’ vision came to life with an expansive open concept, exceptional natural light, and an invitation to bring the outdoors in with triple french doors in the front and accordion style access to the spacious patio in the back. The design of the home showcases the family’s laid-back yet elevated style. Large windows and high ceilings create a light and airy canvas for the family's beautiful design choices such as gorgeous large windows, custom cabinetry, statement lighting, and soothing neutral paint colors. The tranquility of the home is further amplified by the intentional use of clean living products from à la main apothecary + refillery, streamlined kitchen spaces organized by à la main, and designated playrooms for the kids, designed by Taylor Hill Interiors. The calmness this house instills is beyond apparent, which you can feel the moment you walk through the entrance of the home, which was inspired by the French country style of New Orleans.
Built in 1972, this mid-century home was reimagined in 2023 with modern finishes for 21st century living by the current owners, Justin and Heather Bayle. The family was drawn to the idyllic setting of the home, which merges the inside and outside living environments, a reminiscent of their previous time spent in Southern California. The tranquil surrounding of Churchill Woods and Perry’s Pond coupled with a nearly 35,000 square foot wooded lot brings nature to life in the suburbs as chipmunks, bunnies, birds of all kinds, and deer visit the property daily amidst abundant flora and fauna.
Wetmore Construction refreshed the property, taking design cues from Two Hands Interiors and from the owners’ California-living aesthetics. While much of the home was updated, including the addition of a red oak feature wall extending from the main floor down into the first floor, which many visitors are surprised to learn is not original to the house. The two fireplaces maintain their original, vintage charm, and the new owners saved many original light fixtures, which now live in the primary closet, laundry room, primary water closet and exterior. The blend of the old and the new truly makes this home a place that invites all visitors to relax, commune with nature and stay a while.
