Featured Homes
Affectionately known as “the pink house on the corner”, this 1904 Queen Anne Victorian is a gorgeous blend of classic, vintage charm and thoughtful, modern updates. The home has undergone multiple renovations over the last 40 years, but the current homeowners were determined to maintain the integrity and character as they set out to blend the modern, clean-line California design elements that they fell in love with while living in Los Angeles, with edgier mid-century modern furniture and accessories. Inspired by their Glen Ellyn upbringings, the owners were drawn to the uniqueness of the home and the idyllic location and were excited and intrigued by the design challenge, transforming each room with an emphasis on “less is more” function and maximization of space, while also focusing on creating a warm, welcoming environment for life with their 2 young children as they continue to grow their business, “à la main.”
 
Leading the overall design and implementation of the vision themselves, the owners researched and curated much of the furniture, art and accessories from a variety of vendors from across the country with a unique mix of old and new. This one-of-a-kind piece of Glen Ellyn history is sure to inspire visitors to rethink traditional design rules when it comes to creating your own space and to always focus on the individuality of your home and family!
This cozy “jewel box” was a labor of love and long-term project for the busy homeowners. Meticulously designed to give the feel of an older home with the comfort and functionality that a modern home affords, Muellner Construction delivered the perfect mix for this active family in 2020. Offering texture throughout while still maintaining practicality, JC Licht was the chosen source for a variety of wallcoverings and window treatments. Exposed stone, natural light and the perfect custom shade of white cabinetry from Liam Brex combine to make the kitchen/living area a stunning “heart of the home.” An extra deep basement creates a three-level effect and provides a teen hangout with room to blow off steam in the exercise room and sport court. Don’t miss the knockout principle bath flooring from Viking Flooring and updated shag in the owner’s closet to round out an amazing suite! An extraordinary home with zero unused space but space for it all.
Perched atop a wooded hill on Crescent Boulevard, blocks to downtown Glen Ellyn and picturesque Lake Ellyn sits a stunning, oversized mid-century modern ranch. The home was completely taken down to the studs and restored by Ladesic & Scott Builders in 2018 with a focus on maintaining the architectural integrity and style of the house while updating much of the layout and design with an emphasis on creating an environmentally friendly home utilizing energy efficient building materials including lighting from Hi-Lite Electric. 

Major structural changes included moving the original garage from the front to the rear of the home to open up the front yard, the home is recognizable to many for its bright orange planters and front door and sharp, meticulously landscaped stone front terrace. The owner was very mindful in his use of bright colors and was especially detailed in matching the landscape design to fit the style of the home. The homeowner was awarded the Streetscape Compatibility Award in 2019 from the Glen Ellyn Historic Preservation Commission, recognizing the efforts in fitting the Village’s historic character and contributing to the preservation of Glen Ellyn’s Historic Streetscapes. Everything from the floor to ceiling windows, soaring ceilings and overall open concept feel make this home feel like a comfortable piece of art unlike no other in town!
Location was the driving force for this active family in their search for the perfect lot when deciding to build their new home while living across the world. Standing on the open grassy land and taking in the energy of the bustling, yet tranquil Lake Ellyn Park, they knew this was where they had to be. Nearly 3 years later, their vision has come to life in this true modern farmhouse masterpiece, a collaboration with builder M House Development. Clean lines and symmetry and a neutral, less-is-more approach can be found throughout the interior and exterior of the home and with a fresh mix of modern and traditional. The melding of these styles evokes feelings of warmth and comfort, has a crispness without feeling like a museum, and definitely makes you want to kick back, relax and stay a while to enjoy the views! Special recognition to gold sponsors EOC Audio for their A/V work throughout the home as well as gold sponsor Trim Tech Designs responsible for the gorgeous built-in cabinetry.
