40W778 Norris Road

Enjoy the privacy and freedom of country living combined with suburban conveniences! This 17-acre retreat has the best of both worlds - just minutes away from shopping, dining and schools yet tucked away from the suburban hustle and bustle. This unique 5 bed, 3.5 bath home was custom-built in the 80s but has been lovingly remodeled to reflect modern tastes and conveniences. Open floorplan boasts freshly stained ebony hardwood throughout. Grand, two story foyer opens to formal dining on the left and a 5th bedroom/office space on the right. The gorgeous hardwoods continue up the winding staircase and through the second-story cat-walk which overlooks both foyer and two-story great room. Enjoy entertaining guests next to the cozy yet elegant fireplace and dry bar which could easily be converted back to a functioning wet-bar. Also perfect for entertaining - the kitchen is a chef's dream featuring a Viking range/double oven, stainless sub-zero side-by-side fridge and a Bosch dishwasher. HUGE prep-island and walk-in pantry are sure to delight any cook. Perhaps the most unique featuring of this home is the two-story atrium, perfect for the nature-lover or gardening enthusiast. Cozy up next to the wood-burning stove in colder months and enjoy stunning views year-round. Rounding out the main floor is a guest retreat w/ full bath and a beautiful flex-room covered in windows on three-sides with two exterior doors, one leading the back deck. This room could easily be converted for related-living or nanny's quarters. Upstairs, the private master suite has been completely updated with a brand new stand-alone shower and soaker tub. This spa-like retreat is a must-see w/ abundant light and wooded-views. Across the cat-walk are two additional bedrooms w/ stylishly remodeled jack-and-jill baths. Partial basement could easily be finished for even more living space. Four-car garage is a car enthusiasts dream! The 4th bay is currently set up as a workshop. Walk-up attic space could also be finished or used for additional storage. Your vast 17 acres has a basketball court, a fruit-tree orchard and can be converted to a horse-property like many of the adjacent neighbors or be leased for farming. This home is truly unique and ideal for a variety of lifestyles and needs. Schedule your tour today!
