This stunning Blaine Drake designed ranch style home is perfectly situated on one of the biggest lots in the neighborhood at over 46k sqft. The private, resort like backyard is something that needs to be experienced to truly appreciate. Authentic Chicago brick hard scapes, outdoor kitchen, in-ground trampoline, stone water features, and built in fire pit is just the beginning. A 200 year old limestone trough imported from France is the centerpiece of the yard and is surrounded by hundreds of plants, trees, and hedges. Brand new heated pool and spa with both electric and propane heat options. A massive putting green out back with multiple locations throughout the yard to hit approach shots from.
Almost 7000 sq feet of natural grass, Pickleball/basketball court, a garden, kids play area, and a beautifully renovated patio space round out your experience. The 3300 sqft interior of the home features 4 bedrooms, open floor-plan, living, dining, great room areas including a bonus flex room/office that can be transformed into whatever fits your personal needs. Wolf/Sub-Zero Appliance package, oversized 3 car garage with plenty of perfectly planned out spaces to add on or build guest home/garages. Do not miss this one.
