As Seen in Chicago Tribune Dream Homes! On nearly an acre of sculpted forest, winding paths & trails, is an architectural masterpiece nestled in the midst of a deep & very private property, with two seasonal creeks, ancient oaks, & hundreds of species of native Illinois plantings. Steps from Danada Forest Preserve, the Morton Arboretum, & Rice Lake. Truly one of the most unique residences in the region, sitting far back from the street with meandering mulch pathways, hide-away benches and places to sit, take in nature, relax and enjoy! As you enter thru a custom, opaque glass double front door into a soaring great room, your eyes will focus on a 2-story artisan-built copper hurricane gas fireplace with copper glass fire...but then look into the dense forest thru floor-to-ceiling glass. Luxury is everywhere beginning with a designer kitchen. Crystallized granite island with copper & silver veining. High-end Thermador appliances & custom Amish white cabinets. Oil-rubbed bronze, copper, gold & silver fixtures, furnishings & paint carry thru the metallic theme. Post-modern contemporary light fixtures, sunken living room, and generous media center complete the ample entertaining area. The dining area at the apex of the great room allows guests to take in the views. New carpet, dark wood floors, and tile complete the luxury experience. Off the kitchen is a newly remodeled navy/brass/white tiled powder room/half bath and laundry/utility room with quartz counters, generous cabinetry and closet. Access to the 3-car, detailed garage from the laundry room. Off the great room is the sunroom, a lovely spot to take in the sounds of the forest, watch a gentle rainfall, or to dine/entertain. On the other side of the great room is a newly remodeled office/den, with French doors, transom windows that open to the sunroom, and a contemporary barn-door closet (optional 4th bedroom). Adjacent to office/den/4th bedroom is another remodeled powder room/half bath which boasts dramatic tile & custom cabinet/vanity with vessel sink. Heading up the stairs you will experience oak wood rails finished white with steel cables to mimic contemporary ships railing and open the view to the great room. The generous 2nd bedroom delivers expansive forest views with vaulted ceilings, adjacent to a newly remodeled full bathroom with a heated "jacuzzi" tub, custom design tile, new toilet and floating vanity, for a truly spa feel. Heading down the open walkway with windows, great room and forest views there is a 3rd bedroom with vaulted ceilings, perfect for a child, guest, or college kid coming home for break. Finally you arrive at the Master Suite! Soaring ceilings & generous sliding glass door windows achieve a feeling of tree top luxury that cannot be equaled...except for the jaw-dropping master bath with custom cabinetry, extended closet, a linear electric fireplace, dazzling lighting, masterful tile-work, & heated floors throughout. A new bump out closet over the garage adds 100 SF of closet space, with sleek "Elfa" storage. Walking through the custom created barn door (200+old Michigan barn wood) into the European/spa inspired master bath, with heated oversized tile floors, custom Oil-rubbed bronze, copper, gold & silver color cabinetry, heat lamp, double copper bowl sinks, and a toilet/shower area with custom tile resembling a waterfall, rain shower head, hand-held shower head, & 3 jets for a full-body shower experience! A dramatic chandelier, & other designer lighting create the right mood, along with mercury-mirrored glass tile. The entire house has been painted white with Ralph-Lauren metallic accents, oil-rubbed bronze doors & newly refinished hard wood! New Carrier Furnace & 75 Gallon Hot water heater. 50-Year roof warranty. The back of the house has great southern exposure without the heat of direct sun. A newly stained deck, fire pit, bocce ball court & landscape lighting complete the backyard. LUXURY, PRIVACY & BEAUTY. Truly a lifestyle choice
