Property Description

Sophisticated design and thoughtful space planning define this beautifully renovated 5-bedroom, 3.1-bath single-story brick ranch. Reimagined in 2022, this top-to-bottom renovation delivers high-quality finishes and a cohesive, modern aesthetic. Set on a half-acre lot with south-facing rear yard, the home is enhanced by pretty seasonal landscaping, mature trees, and a fenced yard, creating an inviting and serene outdoor setting. Inside, expansive Andersen windows and doors fill the home with magnificent natural light. The open floor plan showcases light oak hardwood floors that have been recently refinished. The wide and welcoming foyer is gracious in scale. The sunlit living room is anchored by a cozy wood burning fireplace (with gas logs). The separate dining room flows seamlessly into the living room, kitchen, and spacious new rear deck--perfect for indoor/outdoor entertaining. Designed with both function and style in mind, the chef's kitchen is appointed with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, ILVE gas range, Bosch dishwasher, custom cabinetry with abundant pantry storage, marble countertops, and a peninsula with stool seating. The kitchen opens to an architecturally striking family room with a beamed and vaulted ceiling, and expanded sliding glass door that opens to a garden patio and play area. Beyond the family room is a lovely powder room, and mud/laundry room near the attached garage. All four main level bedrooms have light oak hardwood flooring and larger-than-expected closets. The primary suite overlooks the rear yard, and boasts a luxurious private bath with dedicated dressing area. The finished basement adds exceptional versatility, including a huge recreation room, 5th bedroom suite (with egress), and a full bath--ideal for guests, in-laws or live-in help. Perfectly located near the scenic trails of Mellody Farm Nature Preserve, Middlefork Savanna Forest Preserve, and Lake Forest Open Lands at Middlefork Farm, this home offers a rare blend of style, comfort, and access to nature!
