Wood you live here?
Built in 1953, this North Shore home with a mahogany-lined interior is a midcentury modern dream with many nods to the earlier Arts & Crafts style. The Glencoe property was one of just a handful of single-family residences by architect Richard Barancik before the designer went on to pen a number of downtown high-rises like 990 N. Lake Shore Drive and the Eugenie Terrace apartments.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home offers a flowing floorplan with vast swaths of warm wood on the walls, ceiling, and floors—plus wrap-around windows showing off the surrounding wooded lot. Other standout features include a sturdy brick hearth in the living room, an updated gallery kitchen, a finished walk-out lower level, and a bright master suite with sliding barn-style doors and a renovated white marble bathroom.
Out back, you’ll find a newly added stone patio spanning two levels. The space includes a gas-burning fire table, an outdoor kitchen with a stone bar, and plenty of room to entertain. The unique midcentury home is listed by Karen Arenson of Engel & Völkers Chicago for $798,000. It last sold for $665,000 in 2015, according to records.
The rich woodwork, fireplace, and large windows make the living room seem airy and cozy at the same time.There’s long stone counters, sleek wood cabinets, and art glass windows in the eat-in kitchen.The corner master bedroom has a wall of windows.The rear patio is perfect for warm weather entertaining.The midcentury home is built into the side of sloping lot and brings the surrounding nature indoors.

Chicago told landlords to ‘show grace.’ Organizers say that’s not enough. Shutterstock
There’s a hold on evictions and foreclosures until May 18, but housing advocates are demanding a rent freeze.
In mid-March, the city announced it would put a 30-day hold on evictions and foreclosures. Now, as officials consider extending the “stay-at-home” order, the Cook County Sheriff’s office pushed back the hold until May 18. While this order prevents renters from being evicted, it doesn’t stop landlords from filing an eviction. Tenant rights organizers and residents across Chicago say the city and state aren’t doing enough.
At the beginning of the month in a special address, the mayor asked landlords to “give tenants some grace, whenever possible during these trying times.”
Last week, Lightfoot announced an emergency grant that would distribute $1,000 to 2,000 residents through a lottery system. Eligible applicants include renters or homeowners who can’t pay their monthly rent and mortgage. There’s also another emergency financial assistance program that renters can apply for—it’s for renters who are at risk of homelessness or eviction.
But with the spike in unemployment and anticipated economic fall out, the Autonomous Tenants Union has called for officials to cancel rent.
“We are calling for an indefinite freeze on collection of all rent, mortgage, and utility payments throughout the duration of the crisis. The freeze must operate as a waiver of payments, not a deferral in which people will find themselves saddled by debt after the crisis,” said the organization in a statement.
The Department of Housing told the Chicago Tribune that the Mayor could not enact a rent freeze. Chicago has a ban on rent control and that legislation also restricts the city from using a rent freeze measure. So now, housing activists are asking for Gov. Pritzker to repeal the legislation.
Aldermen are also advocating for more action from Mayor Lightfoot and Gov. Pritzker. A few weeks ago, alders Rossana Rodriguez, Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, Byron Sigcho Lopez, Daniel La Spata, and Jeanette Taylor signed on to a Recovery for All package authored by advocacy groups including Autonomous Tenants Union and Lift the Ban Coalition.
“If we want everyone to stay home, we need universal social benefits that leave no one out,” the aldermen wrote in a letter published in the Sun-Times. “No one should have to go to work sick for fear of being put out onto the street. Local officials must find immediate housing for all those who are houseless and unable to self-quarantine.”
