Welcome home to a spectacular, all brick custom home accentuated with limestone trim and blue stone steps, a sprawling double lot measuring at 85 feet wide by 132 feet deep with professional landscaping, exceptional construction, an intelligently designed floor plan - and all on a purely residential street! Walk into an inviting and outstanding foyer that extends to a generous front living room area with soaring, 20 foot ceilings and custom, soundproof windows throughout for that natural, crisp sunlight exposure. The dining room is equally impressive given that it can accommodate a large table for many persons; this room is perfect for any holiday! And then head to the family room with its spacious ambiance to its recessed lighting to its stone fireplace and to its floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a perfectly manicured yard. This family room is an ideal space to unwind, relax and enjoy the day with family and friends. The kitchen is parallel to the family room, which further adds to the functionality of this home! No detail was spared! It features 42" custom cabinets with a timeless granite countertop chased to the backsplash, a large island comfortably seating five persons, newer stainless steel appliances and a cozy, eat-in breakfast nook area overlooking a beautiful yard. Then, take the custom, winding staircase to the second floor - and hang out in an amazing loft area; this area is perfect for gaming, a second office or a work-out area. There are four bedrooms and three full bathrooms on the second floor along with a second floor laundry area. Each bedroom is spacious with ample closet space. Two of the four bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom and natural light brightens this space with a skylight! Or, use the second floor common bathroom. But, whatever you do. Pay particular attention to the mature, red bud tree in the northwest corner bedroom with its heartwarming purple and pink blossoms while the pear tree in the north facing bedroom will brighten your day with its angelic white blossoms. Or, better yet, unwind in your primary bedroom with its large primary closet and a stunning primary bathroom featuring dual vanities, a stand-up shower and a soaking tub overlooking the rear yard! The main floor and the second floor are awesome. But. Wait until you see the basement: it features 1,000 square feet more of living space! It is, by far, not your typical basement and it really should not be called such. It will give you the same level of joy as the other floors - if not more. Let us start with the custom, hand painted, Chicago Cubs mural; it will put a smile on your heart as you reminisce about their 2016 championship year! Then we have an eight foot ceiling, a custom built wet bar featuring a dishwasher and a second refrigerator, a built-in poker table area featuring a cigar vent in the ceiling, a built-in, extra large saltwater fish tank, a full bathroom with a multi-jet steam shower and clearly enough room for a large sectional as you watch a favorite show with your built-in surround sound audio system for that surreal experience! Entertain, relax, enjoy, and repeat! Enjoy summer's final days and watch autumn unfold in the rear yard with matured landscaping featuring an in-ground sprinkler system, a newly built wooden deck, a paved patio with a river rock bed all while being fenced in for that added privacy. Or, just pull in on your paver driveway and tuck into a true 2.5-car attached garage featuring a heated garage and a new polyurea coated garage floor, which is even more durable than epoxy flooring. Close to schools, shopping and transportation. And, most notably, walk to three award winning District 64 schools: Washington Elementary, Lincoln Middle School and Maine South High School! This home has it all! A true 10! And a rare gem!
