SERENITY IN STYLE

By Contributor

The beauty of timeless design

A Clarendon Hills home received a full second-floor remodel that transformed the cramped original layout into a flowing forever home that suits the family’s lively lifestyle. Mom, dad, and two teenagers enjoy the thoughtful spaces, including a new primary suite, ensuite bath, upstairs laundry, and bonus room. Downstairs, a new office, front door, and staircase, plus a facelift for the mudroom create a cohesive sense of relaxed elegance. 

Fourth Avenue Design Group considered every detail to deliver extraordinary results. Founded by three big-firm design colleagues who over time became the best of friends, this boutique shop is committed to bringing design dreams into reality. Principals Karen Chanan, Leslie Lee, and Jennifer Cross believe that your house should paint a picture, tell a story, and show the world who you are.
