1801 Kelly Court

Darien, Illinois 60561

There are homes that are built well and then there are homes that are thoughtfully curated, layered over time, refined with intention, and meticulously maintained. 1801 Kelly Court is the latter. Situated on one of the most private lots in Darien Club, this home rests within a quiet cul-de-sac, surrounded by mature trees and complemented by serene pond views. The setting offers a rare sense of retreat while remaining close to everything that matters. The home unfolds with architectural presence and natural flow. A dual staircase anchors the layout, while a soaring two-story living room fills with natural light through expansive windows. Custom shades and shutters throughout add both elegance and function. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the main level features a formal dining room, sunlit breakfast nook, and a separate sitting room. The family room is centered around a wood-burning fireplace with gas starter, creating a warm and inviting focal point. The fully renovated kitchen blends timeless design with functionality, offering custom cabinetry, granite countertops, SubZero and Viking appliances, along with a butler's pantry and walk-in pantry for seamless hosting. A main-level bedroom, currently used as an office with a coffered oak ceiling, provides flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. A spacious powder room offers potential for conversion to a full bath. A mudroom and main-floor laundry complete the level. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private retreat with a sitting room, balcony, gas fireplace, and a wood-trimmed tray ceiling with cove lighting. The spa-like bath and expansive walk-in closet enhance both comfort and practicality. A princess suite and two additional bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath complete the upper level. The finished basement expands the living space with a full bath, additional bedroom, and areas designed for recreation, gatherings, and extended stays. Outdoor living is equally impressive, featuring a Trex deck and a screened gazebo with a conical vaulted ceiling, creating a private and inviting space surrounded by mature landscaping. Additional highlights include newer furnaces (2025), roof (2017) with transferable lifetime warranty, Anderson windows, smart home features, and a well-maintained mechanical profile. The three-car garage offers epoxy flooring and EV-ready electrical capacity, complemented by an expansive driveway for additional parking. Located in the highly sought-after Darien Club, known for its strong community, top-rated schools, and convenient access to highways, dining, and shopping. This is more than a home it is a legacy defined by care, intention, and timeless design.
