The Emil Bach House was designated a Chicago Landmark in 1977 and placed on the U.S. Register of Historic Places in 1979. In 2014, the home began its new life as a vacation getaway and event rental space, after nearly eight years of meticulous work that restored it as close to its original appearance as possible.
In contrast to the expansive, open Prairie houses Wright designed just years earlier, the Bach House is strongly centered and self-contained. A flat roof with cantilevered projections shelters the residence and shades the small balconies off each of the bedrooms, which themselves add to the “outside inside” theme of the house.
The main entrance to the house is on the back of the house, away from the busy road on which the house sits, and obscured from public view. An open porch spans the back of the house and creates a dramatic horizontal projection toward Lake Michigan. When the home was built for the Bach family, they had a clear view of and access directly to the lake.

18 Sep 2017Hi Emma Stone,I cannot thank you enough for your professionalism, persistence and hard work in getting our property sold and achieving what we wanted, even though such a tough time in the market. You have great attention to detail and it has been a pleasure dealing with the sale with you. I really appreciate all your effort in communicating with me, even after hours, to ensure all my concerns were met. Once again, thank you and I would definitely recommend you to anyone else looking to sell.

18 Sep 2017When we decided to put our home on the market, we contacted agents and all their price estimates were far lower than our expectations. We then contacted you and you brought in your sales team. This team included Margaret Stone. After inspection, you allocated the possible sale to Margaret. She visited us and spent several hours getting to know us and our expectations. She stated that our home is unique, one of a kind and the best in the area. Hence, she strongly recommended that we do not go to auction but to go to the market as "For Sale" and see where the offers fell. Some weeks went by and she had several offers 25% higher than the other agents price indication. We accepted an offer higher than this.
