About This Home

42 Royal Vale Drive

Some homes are simply residences; others are works of art and design that inspire the way we live. Sahgal House is a rare architectural offering in Chicago's western suburbs, thoughtfully situated on an elevated .62-acre corner parcel in Oak Brook's coveted Ginger Creek neighborhood. Spanning more than 5,500 square feet across multiple levels, with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this extraordinary residence is a compelling expression of Northern California Mid-Century Modernism and Sea Ranch-inspired design. Its architecture celebrates the relationship between space, light, nature, and material, creating an atmosphere that is at once dramatic and deeply serene. A comprehensive renovation took the home back to the studs, honoring its architectural origins while thoughtfully reimagining it for contemporary living. Distinctive original materials, including rich redwood ceilings and Chicago common brick, were preserved and seamlessly integrated with carefully selected new materials and finishes. The result is a remarkable balance of authenticity, restraint, and modern sensibility, achieved through a series of deliberate architectural interventions rather than wholesale reinvention. At the heart of the home, a dramatic 2.5-story stairwell atrium creates a striking architectural focal point and connects the multiple levels. Soaring volumes and clerestory windows invite natural light deep into the interior, while shifting ceiling heights, organic textures, framed sight lines, and unexpected architectural details create a captivating sense of discovery. Every space has been considered, every view intentionally composed. The experience is both contemplative and inspiring. Natural materials, sculptural forms, and a restrained palette provide an extraordinary backdrop for art, sculpture, and collectible design. More than a beautiful home, Sahgal House offers a lifestyle defined by quiet sophistication, creativity, and a connection to the architecture that surrounds you. Its original design intentions remain beautifully legible, while select opportunities, including the potential restoration of the original porch designs, invite a future owner to further its architectural story. Easy access to Chicago and a short distance to O'Hare and Midway airports, hospitals, interstate highways, and the Metra BNSF train. Sahgal House is not simply a place to call home. It is a place to pause, find inspiration, and experience architecture as it was intended to be lived. Move confidently.
