The coastal elegance of New England awaits you in this chic shingle-style Colonial Revival manse designed by Culligan & Abraham. Set on one of Hinsdale's most beautiful blocks mere steps from downtown, train, park and schools, the immediate charm of the wood-and-stone facade and gambrel roof draws you inside. Four levels of lavish living space spanning over 7,000 square feet greet you at the foyer. Classical detailing, such as plantation shutters, coffered ceilings, arched entryways, crown moldings and designer lighting, roots the home in tradition yet can easily serve as the backdrop for transitional or modern tastes. Take the living room, for instance, with its gorgeous coffered ceiling and French doors opening to the bluestone porch. The formal dining room provides another example with its architecturally detailed ceiling and designer lighting. These spaces hold the vision for entertaining friends and family. From the dining room, the open concept kitchen is centered around a large island with bar seating as traditional custom cabinetry, timeless white countertops, stainless steel professional grade appliances and a convenient pantry easily inspire the chef of the house. A sun-lit breakfast room opens to the kitchen and family room, anchored by a warm stone fireplace and wood beams crisscrossing the ceiling. A mudroom and home office complete this level. On the second level, there are three bedrooms, two baths, a laundry room and an extravagant primary suite touched by a fireplace, spa bath and a massive showstopper closet and dressing room. The third level contains a spacious loft - perfect as a playroom or homework space, plus two extra bedrooms. The finished lower level offers a four-season entertaining paradise for the entire family to enjoy with an expansive rec room, game room, bar, wine cellar, exercise room, bath and storage spaces. Beyond the house, a wonderful outdoor oasis beckons with beautiful perennials and a lush lawn. The current owners have made numerous upgrades and updates to this immaculately maintained home through the years, passing on great value to the next owners. From top to bottom, this exquisite residence allows you to truly live, work and play in your own private world, yet you're within walking distance to town!
