About This Home
As of July 2022Classic beauty never goes out of style! Prepare to be impressed by this incredible Ponstein custom-built home nestled in the heart of the popular Hillcrest neighborhood. So many extras! Rustic Hickory Floors, light-filled Transom Windows, detailed Millwork, double kitchen islands, whole-home sound system...plus the perfect balance of both open and cozy spaces throughout. The inviting Foyer paves the way to the Den and Living Room, both feature charming Built-in Bookcases and Windows galore (you'll love the south-facing light). The Kitchen, Dining area and Fireplace Nook all flow together in one open space, making entertaining a dream. No expense has been spared with Romar Alder Cabinets, gorgeous granite countertops and top-of-the-line appliances (Decor and Thermador Ovens, Bosch Dishwasher and brand-new LG Refrigerator). A walk-in Pantry, bright Sunroom with Fireplace, large Laundry/Mudroom and two Powder Rooms complete the main floor. On the second level you'll find the Primary Bedroom Suite with dual Private Vanities, Jetted Tub, walk-in Rainfall Shower...plus the sprawling Walk-in Closet with Custom Shelving does not disappoint! Four additional Bedrooms and two full Bathrooms offer plenty of space to grow (all bedrooms feature custom closets). And don't miss the 3rd floor Loft with endless opportunities for flex space. The Finished Basement adds 2000+ sq ft of possibilities with a Bonus Room, Recreational Area, Family Room, Kitchen and tons of Storage. A great option for Multi-Generational and Related Living arrangements. Almost half an acre on a corner lot, the professional Landscape and Hardscape (featuring 3 Stone Patios and mature Perennial Beds) make the outdoors an Oasis. Easy access to top-rated schools, Maple Grove Forest Preserve, YMCA, downtown shops and Metra. You could not build this home for the same price today. No waiting on contractors and materials...simply move right in!
