Awesome custom-built luxury home located on 3 private and serene wooded acres at the very end of a long cul-de-sac. Approximately 6,000 square feet of beautiful award-winning space! Designed and built by Orren Pickell, this home was the 1999 Gold Key Award winner by the Home Builder's Association of Greater Chicago. The open two-story FOYER, with its curved staircases, gleaming hardwood floors, and gorgeous chandelier is a great example of the unique construction of this amazing home. The stately first-floor OFFICE comes with amazing natural views; a calming remedy to a hard day's business. The coffered ceiling, glass-paneled French doors, wainscoting and custom in-lay hardwood floors exudes quality, richness. There are THREE fireplaces in this wonderful home. A gas fireplace is the focal point in the sunken formal LIVING ROOM. A brick wood-burning fireplace in the voluminous FAMILY ROOM offers a large firebox and a stone hearth for those who like the more traditional crackling ambiance. The fireplace and built-in entertainment center have competition for your attention: the expansive wall of windows overlooking the wooded back yard. And regardless of whether you're taking in this view from inside the entertainment hub of the family room or outside on the adjoining WOOD DECK, it's hard to believe that you're just minutes from everything when you're surrounded by so much natural beauty. This house is made for entertaining and the GOURMET ISLAND KITCHEN is set up to accommodate any gathering. Wall-to-wall 42" cherry cabinets, granite counters and backsplash, double-ovens, separate gas cooktop, wine refrigerator, butler's pantry, and more stunning views. This floor plan is so brilliant that guests can be in the kitchen, the octagon daily EATING AREA, and family room and still be able to have a direct line of communications. Not enough room to detail everything, so let's head upstairs! The MASTER SUITE is truly its own oasis and comes with a personal SITTING AREA with gorgeous, elevated views of the rolling back yard. A trayed ceiling, custom in-lay hardwood floors and the private MASTER BATHROOM is just the place to go when you need some personal pampering. Other features of the second floor include three spacious BEDROOMS, a Jack and Jill full bathroom, an overlook onto the Family Room, and another personal bathroom in one of the bedrooms. In the FULL, FINISHED WALK-OUT BASEMENT, you'll find more gorgeous built-ins and hardwood in the welcoming GALLERY. The third fireplace is wood-burning and located in the lower-level RECREATION ROOM with its built-in wine bar. The adjoining BILLIARD ROOM offers a small granite beverage counter, more custom hardwood floors, and a built-in saltwater fish tank!! Other features of the walk-out basement include a 5th BEDROOM, a FITNESS ROOM, a large WORKSHOP/MECHANICALS ROOM, tons of storage, and direct access to the 3-CAR GARAGE! There are three furnaces, a central vacuum, and a new AC in 2018. When being stuck inside simply won't do, follow the stone patio alongside the cascading brook to the soothing Koi Pond or have a seat by the built-in firepit. Or perhaps a more elevated amazing view from the WOOD DECK is more preferred? So much beauty to take in here in the natural backdrop of 100-year-old oak trees, river, and wildlife. Far away yet so close to countless great restaurants, entertainment venues, shopping, preserves, lakes, the Fox River, and Lake Zurich schools. You'll love living here!
