Outstanding curb appeal is enhanced by Hardie Board siding, professional perennial landscaping, side-loading 3 car garage & inviting front; it just hints at the luxurious interior finishes you are going to find! Set on over an acre lot with majestic centuries-old Oak & Black Walnut trees PLUS a a heavily wooded forest preserve behind the home where a 75-foot-high glacier formed this ravine split by a babbling brook that is teeming with deer, birds & all kinds of wildlife! Across the street is the 37 Acre Jelke Bird Sanctuary & Preserve with miles of trails for the nature lover in all of us! Like riding horses? You could have one here & ride in the preserve! Relax on your front porch with a cup of coffee & enjoy spectacular sunrises over Jelke Sanctuary while songbirds serenade your morning! Inside, the jaw-dropping finishes will have you impressed at every turn. Dual staircases flank the entryway as you walk in for that WOW factor. Hardwood floors flow throughout most of the main level.
