One of Chicago's most distinctive architectural residences is tucked within the heart of Uptown An Architectural Masterpiece being offered for sale for the first time since creation. This extraordinary home was designed by architect Kevin Lee Sarring as a deeply personal expression of Eastern tradition and Western modernism. The home was conceived as a sanctuary-an intentional confluence of architecture, nature, light, and tranquility. A granite-floored entry introduces the home that unfolds inward around its breathtaking centerpiece: a glass-enclosed Japanese-inspired garden designed by landscape architect Bill Miller. A raked-stone "dry river" winds through ferns, moss, bamboo, and pine creating a remarkable sense of serenity and privacy. As daylight fades, recessed soffit lighting gently illuminates the garden, transforming it into an ever-changing work of art visible from throughout the home. The residence's Western living spaces provide a striking counterpoint. An expansive open-concept living and dining area is anchored by a monumental freestanding Mankato stone fireplace, creating a dramatic yet inviting gathering space. Eight skylights introduce abundant natural light from above, while the thoughtful relationship between the interior and central garden creates an extraordinary sense of openness, flow, and radiance. More than a home, this is a study in balance and intentional design. Every space was carefully considered to create a feeling of harmony between the built environment and the natural world-an architectural experience that is both sophisticated and deeply peaceful. The location further enhances its appeal. Just minutes from Montrose Beach, blocks from Broadway, and Uptown's Natural Area, the property offers an uncommon combination of secluded sanctuary and vibrant city living, with the lakefront, neighborhood amenities, dining, entertainment, and transportation all close at hand. The property occupies a double lot, adding another dimension to this exceptional offering. A singular piece of Chicago architecture-where Eastern philosophy, Western design, nature, and opportunity converge.
