Property Description

Finally, Flossmoor's Grande Dame arrives. Set behind lush, professionally landscaped grounds and framed by towering mature trees, this extraordinary private estate is one of the South Suburbs' most iconic offerings-nestled in the heart of Flossmoor, just moments from its charming walkable downtown filled with restaurants, boutiques, cafes, and neighborhood gathering spots. A sweeping columned veranda welcomes you home, offering the perfect setting to relax, entertain, and take in the picturesque front vistas. Meticulously and completely renovated with nearly $1 million in improvements, this magnificent residence masterfully preserves its historic soul while introducing every luxury demanded for modern living. A gracious paneled reception hall anchored by the home's original showstopping staircase opens to an elegant procession of grandly scaled rooms, including oversized formal living and dining rooms, a stunning family room with soaring vaulted ceilings, an intimate library, and an exceptional chef's kitchen designed for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining. Outfitted with the finest appliances-including built-in full-size Sub-Zero refrigeration, dual Fisher & Paykel dishwashers, a professional Wolf range plus additional wall oven-the kitchen also features extra-thick stone countertops, abundant custom cabinetry, expansive prep space, and remarkable pantry storage. With 6 bedrooms and 6.1 baths across four finished levels, the home offers extraordinary flexibility for today's lifestyle-perfect for guest or in-law accommodations, nanny or au pair quarters, teen retreats, private offices, fitness rooms, or additional recreation spaces. The luxurious primary suite is a private sanctuary unto itself, complete with its own terrace, professionally organized walk-in closet, and spa-caliber bath featuring a double vanity, steam shower with rain head and body sprays, and a jetted soaking tub. The third floor and newly finished lower level continue the home's impressive scale with additional bedrooms, baths, expansive family/recreation rooms, and endless storage-providing room for everyone, everything, and every occasion. Throughout the home, timeless architectural details blend seamlessly with today's comforts: seven fireplaces (five wood-burning, two gas), six terraces overlooking the manicured estate grounds, an attached heated three-car garage, and beautifully curated finishes and systems at every turn. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of Flossmoor's most distinguished residences-offering incomparable scale, character, privacy, and an extraordinary value for a home of this caliber.
