Surrounded by forest inside and out, this modernist mid-century glass home has privacy, a connection to nature, wooden ceilings and the perfect porch.
You might think this Illinois home formed of glass would have issues with privacy, but the tinted effect means visitors can see out but not in. On the market now for $US850,000 ($AUD1.2m) it could be the perfect place to escape the world amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Set across 187sqm, the home celebrates nature with white oak floors matched with wooden ceilings. Skylights and floor-to-ceiling glass walls allow light to flood the home to create a sparkling effect.
Typical of the modernist style, the home is open plan and lets the outside in.
The calming and considered space has many spots throughout that are perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying the views from each room.
