Today we're spotlighting one of our all-time favorite exterior finishes, limewash brick. It's a beloved selection that has graced a number of our builds over the past few years. With a subtle hue, it gently softens traditional brick, giving it a charming, weathered effect that evokes the warmth of classic European architecture.
On a private corner of southeast Hinsdale, you’ll find one of our most recent limewash brick beauties. We photographed the interior before our clients moved in last year and returned last month to capture the exterior on a gorgeous late summer day. We are excited to be able to share a tour of this home with you today.
INTRODUCING PARK AVENUE
This home’s grand exterior is a picture of timeless elegance. The carefully crafted limewash brick and limestone trim create a graceful, sophisticated aesthetic with luxe copper gutters as the perfect finishing touch.
We worked with our partners at Oney Sheet Metal to craft a custom metal hood to anchor this kitchen. Their hoods have been a beautiful addition to a number of our Florida projects and we are grateful to be able to incorporate their designs in our projects back home as well.
A bright and sunny breakfast nook sits just beside the kitchen. A hidden pantry was cleverly integrated into the kitchen layout to maximize storage space.
Custom millwork makes an elegant impact throughout this home and is center stage in these first-floor living spaces. A grand coffered ceiling and built-in bookshelves elevate this light-filled family room.
A dedicated home office was placed just beside the covered porch, providing easy access to enjoy a bit of sunshine during the workday. The first-floor powder room makes a statement with deep green artisan tile laid in a herringbone pattern.
Our team enjoyed collaborating with Katie Malone of KM Interiors for this home’s interiors and this formal dining area is a space where thoughtful attention-to-detail is in the spotlight. Rich grasscloth wallpaper serves as a perfect complement to the stained wood cabinetry.
Intricate custom millwork was expertly crafted to showcase this inviting sitting room just off the foyer.
The second level of this home features five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a spacious laundry room.
An elegantly-appointed master suite incorporates vaulted ceilings throughout, plus a serene bath with both a soaking tub and walk-in shower.
The lower level of this home is the ultimate paradise for both sports and entertainment. A sophisticated bar, complete with an antique mirrored backsplash, is ready to host the crowd that’s sure to gather with a basement like this one!
In addition to a coveted sport court, you’ll also find an exercise room and a sunken golf simulator on this floor of the home.
Our tour may be over, but we promise there is plenty more to see! Visit the link below for a full gallery of photos:
We look forward to filling this season with additional Home Tours in Hinsdale, Downers Grove, Glen Ellyn and Naperville. New projects are on the way in Elmhurst and Glen Ellyn and we can’t wait to share what we have planned for these builds.
Fall may have just begun, but if the sight of a sport court has your mind dreaming of your very own retreat from a chilly Chicago winter, we’re here to help! Contact us today to learn more about our unique design-build process and get started bringing the home you’ve always envisioned to life.
