About This Home
As of February 2026Built in 2003 by Greystone Builders, this custom-designed stucco French Tudor residence blends timeless old-world craftsmanship with modern luxury. Offering 6 bedrooms and 7 baths, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to evoke warmth, character, and elegance throughout its gracious floor plan. Step inside to discover 10-foot coffered ceilings, rich crown moldings, arched doorways, and hardwood floors that set a tone of refined sophistication. Three distinctive fireplaces anchor inviting gathering spaces, each finished with decorative artistry. The gorgeous kitchen impresses with a grand island, breakfast bar, and custom glass cabinetry, opening to an entertainment-sized family room. French doors lead to a fenced deck overlooking a terraced backyard-perfect for al fresco entertaining. The south-facing primary suite is a serene retreat, featuring a graceful curved window alcove, two walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath complete with a Kohler whirlpool tub, deluxe steam shower, and heated floors. There are three additional bedrooms and two additional bathrooms on the second floor, along with the laundry room. The third floor has its own full bathroom, ideal as a 6th bedroom, playroom or fitness studio. The lower level is designed for relaxation and recreation, boasting a rec room with built-in surround sound, wet bar, refrigerator, fireplace, billiards room (pool table stays!), and guest suite with a private bath AND a separate powder room. Additional highlights include a large cedar walk-in closet, utility and storage rooms. Perfectly situated in a prime, family friendly neighborhood, just two blocks from the Metra, local shops, restaurants, and Hubbard Woods Park and playground-walk to beach and Graeter's ice cream (yum!)! A rare offering that blends architectural distinction, modern comfort, and a coveted location.
