Once upon a time, 80 years ago, when this owner's ancestors purchased land in Unincorporated New Lenox, they had visions of establishing family roots and living the American Dream of home ownership. Fast forward to 2021, and some parcels have been sold, New Lenox has grown from a rural country setting to an established suburban community, but the original heirs are still living the American Dream on their remaining 1.8 acre paradise with home built in 1988. And similar to most American Dreams, this home was custom built to afford their family all of the function of a bustling household, as well as the many extras and additions to host both an abundance of guests or an intimate gathering. Go ahead send all the invites. In a home of this magnitude there's room for all! This driveway can easily accommodate 20+ cars! How are we so sure? Several parties have been enjoyed in this well maintained 2-story colonial, offering 5 bedrooms, including one on the main, and 3 full baths. Freshly painted, updated mechanicals and new roof. Cozy family room with fireplace, kitchen with separate eating area and formal dining room. Three additional entertaining options including a 19x7 screened deck and a 31x11 open deck with patio as well as a bonfire pit! Upper level master suite with whirlpool bath and balcony overlooks the beautifully landscaped garden area and large yard including horseshoe pits. 2 HVAC systems keep everyone comfortable, and with your mature trees and private well and septic utilities are minimal. Finished basement is complete with recreation area, exercise room, bedroom and storage. When the weekend fun comes to a close, you can begin the work week in your private office complete with reception area. An ideal "work from home" scenario that includes a separate entrance. And the best part...you'll benefit from all of the freedoms that define unincorporated, while within walking distance to many of New Lenox's great dining, shopping, and amenities. Bring the camper, boat, and even the work truck. There's plenty of space and few restrictions. Pamper them in your 26X25 heated garage with pull down stairs to attic. Now that's a man cave! Additional 24x32 outbuilding, built in 2013, and you've got even more income generating potential. Privacy, security and endless opportunities. Now that's what dreams are made of.
