Come home to this remarkable haven on a hill. Few, if any, properties in Chicagoland offer this combination of custom construction and breathtaking vistas. Overlooking the valley and nestled in the rolling countryside you'll discover this impressive French Country styled home thoughtfully designed by its owner. Passing through the arched stone & brick entryway and beautiful wooden arched front door you're lead into the soaring two story foyer. Under foot you notice the elegance of the Cumaru hardwood flooring. Note also the main floor office / study perfect for working from home or catching up on your reading. Passing the formal dining room with its oval raised ceiling you'll enter the kitchen area which is sure to please any chef. Here you're welcomed by custom Omega cabinets, granite counter tops and a Wolf stove. Step across to relax in the spacious family room offering outstanding views. Here, you can relax by the fire or spend quality time in the adjoining media room. A first floor mud / laundry room lends convenience. The second level is highlighted by the oversized master suite which features a tray ceiling. Here you'll enjoy the warmth of the heated floor in master bath as well as the soothing jets of the Jacuzzi bath. But, nothing compares to the entrance from the master suite out and onto your second level balcony. Here, nature and the outdoors come to life. Enjoy your favorite beverage while taking in the majestic view of the valley. The installed Sun Setter Awning can provide as much or as little shade as you need. Moments spent here will surely put you in a great frame of mind in the AM or melt the cares of the day away in the evening. Another must see on level two is the large bonus room conveniently positioned above the garage. This could be perfect for a work out spot or even an additional bedroom if desired.
