Welcome to 1535 S Douglas Avenue in Arlington Heights, a one-of-a-kind custom home set at the end of a quiet court, directly beside the serene Prairie Park. Designed and cared for by its original owners, this residence blends timeless elegance with modern convenience in every detail. The charming stamped concrete driveway leads to the main entrance where you will find the grand foyer, where Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors and graceful arched entryways set the stage for the open and inviting floor plan. At the heart of the home is a chef's dream kitchen with top-of-the-line GE Monogram appliances, including a professional-grade range with hood, built-in oven and microwave, warming drawer, pot filler, wine fridge, and trash compactor. A two-tiered island with breakfast bar and a bright dining nook overlooking the backyard make this space as functional as it is beautiful. A formal dining room and spacious family room offer ideal settings for gatherings, while the first-floor bedroom, full bath, and laundry room provide flexibility for in-laws or guests. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat with a coffered ceiling, fireplace, and private balcony tucked into the treetops-perfect for unwinding in peace. The spa-inspired bath showcases dual vanities, a jetted soaking tub, and a rain shower. Two additional bedrooms are connected by a Jack and Jill bath, and a versatile office or potential 5th bedroom adds even more living options. A second laundry room on this level ensures everyday convenience. The finished basement extends the living space with a large recreation room, family room, bar, and a unique craft room. Outside, the professionally landscaped yard offers privacy, mature trees, a stamped concrete patio, and direct access to Prairie Park, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Additional highlights include dual high-efficiency washer and dryer sets on both levels, a central vacuum system, built-in garage shelving and tool storage, irrigation system for front and back lawns, and an invisible fence. This home combines craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and an unbeatable location near shopping, dining, highways, and entertainment-all while being just steps from the natural beauty of Prairie Park.
