Handsome midcentury modern Keck & Keck home lists in suburban Flossmoor

Another modern gem from noted architect brothers William and George Fred Keck is up for grabs in suburban Flossmoor, Illinois. Built in 1958, the nearly 4,000-square-foot midcentury structure features four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, three fireplaces, and plenty of old-school tongue and groove wood paneling.

The home also sports floor-to-ceiling Thermopane windows. A trademark of Keck and Keck designs, the glass provides sweeping views of the property’s wooded 2.3-acre lot as well as contributes to passive solar heating. The roomy and architecturally significant house listed yesterday for just shy of $475,000.

The home isn’t the first Keck-designed property in Flossmoor to become available in recent years. A beautifully-restored 1942 solar house hit the market in May for $350,000 and sold in just six weeks for $30,000 over list. In 2012, an attractive Keck ranch built in 1952 listed for $425,000 before selling for $397,000 the following year.
