Property of Mr. and Mrs. Lester Kornblith in Glencoe, outside of Chicago | architect Jerome Cerny

Behind this wide and welcoming façade live Mr. and Mrs. Lester Kornblith, a couple who have reached that happy circumstance which housing specialists are apt to call the “third stage of family living.” This means that the occupants’ grown children have married and left home. Now, with more time to pursue their own special interests, the Kornbliths are able to live simply, yet with comfort and taste. The house that architect Jerome Cerny designed for them in Glencoe, outside of Chicago, fits these conditions perfectly. Traditional in line, it has a skillful U-shaped plan, carefully-scaled architectural details. Each room has at least two exposures; the living and dining rooms have a double view of the back garden and the entrance court. The master bedroom, at right, and the garage, at left, form symmetrical wings. Between the two, a flower-bordered brick terrace bows out to make the entrance appear more spacious than it really is.
