About this home
Prepare to be captivated by one of West Chicago's most extraordinary properties, where award-winning perennial gardens, towering mature oaks, and nearly 3/4 acres of breathtaking, park-like grounds create a private botanical retreat unlike anything else on the market. Lovingly cultivated over decades, hundreds of spectacular perennials provide an ever-changing tapestry of color, texture, and blooms from early spring through late fall, making this a true gardener's paradise. Beautifully updated, this spacious 5 bedroom, 2 full and 2 half bath Colonial is nestled on an almost 3/4-acre wooded lot in an incredibly private, country-like setting, yet remains just minutes from shopping, dining, the Metra, and forest preserves. Zoned for one horse, this exceptional property offers the rare combination of natural beauty, privacy, and everyday convenience. Step inside the inviting foyer where formal living and dining rooms welcome family and guests. Newly refinished gleaming hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, leading to an updated chef's kitchen featuring custom 42-inch cabinetry with crown molding, granite countertops, an expansive center island, pantry cabinet, recessed lighting, a bay-window eating area, new Samsung refrigerator, GE Profile Touch range and microwave, and newer appliances. The spacious family room is highlighted by a beautiful brick fireplace and glass doors that open to the outdoor living areas, while the sunroom provides the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the magnificent gardens and wooded landscape. A first floor bedroom, ideal as a 5th bedroom or home office, along with an updated powder room and convenient laundry room complete the main level. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features an updated en-suite bath with dual vanities, while three additional generously sized bedrooms and an updated full bath provide plenty of room for family and guests. The finished basement offers even more living space with two expansive recreation areas, a wet bar, recently renovated half bath, utility room, and abundant storage. Step outside to experience the property's true showpiece-a private outdoor sanctuary featuring a brand-new stone and brick paver patio with a custom seat wall, multiple outdoor entertaining areas, a fire pit, and extraordinary award-winning gardens. Meandering pathways wind through professionally designed perennial beds bursting with seasonal color, flowering shrubs, ornamental trees, and meticulously maintained landscaping that delivers breathtaking beauty throughout the growing season. Every turn reveals another spectacular view, creating an outdoor setting that is both peaceful and unforgettable. Additional improvements include a NEW Culligan water treatment system, new A/C compressor, new asphalt driveway, garage with new drywall and epoxy flooring, LiftMaster garage door opener, fresh exterior paint, new gutters and downspouts on the front of the home, garage and sunroom, plus a rebuilt brick chimney stack. More than just a home, this is a lifestyle. A truly rare opportunity to own one of West Chicago's most spectacular garden estates, where timeless beauty, exceptional craftsmanship, and breathtaking natural surroundings come together to create a property unlike any other....
