Description

A private sanctuary awaits you on 2 acres in the prestigious and sought-after Village of Long Grove. A landmark home, historic to its neighborhood, has been thoughtfully expanded, renovated and transformed into a Contemporary Craftsman gem with crisp architectural details, fine craftsmanship and carefully selected materials and finishes featured throughout. Paver walks and a stately stone covered Entry Porch invite you into this expansive 5, 300+ SF Family home and entertainer's dream. Spacious room sizes abound throughout and the Great Room Entry with its 18' high volume ceiling and floating beams above tells you this home is something special and different the moment you arrive. The room is centered on an elegant fireplace and windows accent views in all directions to the surrounding woodscape that is the home's exterior setting, Natural light floods into the home with every new room you enter. The Great Room also provides the entree to a Gourmet Kitchen which is the central hub of activity for the home. It features top-of-the-line Bosch appliances, custom driftwood finish cabinets, natural quartz countertops, a well-appointed walk-in Pantry and an expansive, contrasting central kitchen island that seats four and offers over 32 SF of entertaining counter space alone. As if that weren't enough, an open, adjoining Dining Room with views and access to one of two spacious exterior decks could easily seat another 8 or 10 more. Rounding out the main level of the home are a huge Family Room with a 2nd fireplace finished in stone and 16 linear feet of sliding doors to the 2nd exterior deck; An ample Private Office and full bath that could double as a Guest Bedroom; A Mudroom, Laundry and half Bath that adjoin the access to the large, 3-car attached Garage. An open, 20'high stair hall between the Kitchen and Family Room showcases a stunning Floating Staircase with hickory-grained wood steps and sleek metal railings leading to a large second floor Loft perfect for a Library or Game Room or additional Family space used to wind down after the stress of a long day. In one direction from the Loft is a very comfortable and private Primary Bedroom Suite with Bath that boasts a large walk-in shower, whirlpool tub and gorgeous double vanity. The huge, chandeliered walk-in closet is big enough to be another bedroom in itself. In the opposite direction from the Loft are three different catwalk views from the hallway to the home below, three additional bedrooms, and two additional Baths (one an en-suite) to amply accommodate Family or Guests. This is a unique, not-to-be-replicated home on a spacious lot that is perfect for the modern lifestyles that are sought by today's affluent Buyers. It has not yet been seen by the public in its newly renovated state but is coming to market soon in arguably one of the most desirable school districts and communities in Illinois and the country. To be completed prior to closing are the Finished Basement space with its own Bath, Wet Bar and Wine Storage Room; Garage appointments including new overhead doors and openers; Closet Systems and Shower Glass throughout, and a newly paved driveway. For those who act fast your finishing touches and selections may be included where items are yet to be completed. Inquiries welcomed.
