Set along the shores of Lake Michigan, the leafy Chicago suburb of Lake Forest has a lot to offer—from swimming beaches and forest preserves to quaint European-inspired shopping villages and cafes. Unlike other Chicago suburbs, which are home to multiple Frank Lloyd Wright–designed residences, Lake Forest has only has one—and it’s a stunner.
The Charles F. Glore House is located on a lush, 1.92-acre lot in Lake Forest, Illinois, just 45 minutes from Chicago. The residence is the only Wright-designed home in the area.

A wall of bookshelves draw you into the home from the entryway. The current architect-owner made some updates to the original design, such as swapping Wright’s red-stained floors for polished concrete, resulting in a brighter look that contrasts with the extensive woodwork.

Completed in 1954, the Charles F. Glore House sits on a nearly two-acre lot, just one block from the lake. Stretching across 4,300 square feet, the home features four bedrooms, four baths, large living areas, and multiple outdoor spaces.
Across from the built-in bookshelves, a floating staircase connects the home’s two levels.
