About This Home

As of August 2025

Beautiful almost-new construction, walkable to downtown Libertyville! Located at the end of a quiet street, this move-in ready home was built in 2019 and is less than a 10 minute walk to downtown Libertyville. Despite being so close to downtown, much of the home is surrounded by trees and nature and is very peaceful compared to other areas near downtown. The home features 4 spacious bedrooms (all upstairs with large walk-in closets), 3.5 bathrooms, a main-floor office, mudroom, second-floor laundry room, full basement, and 3-car garage. The luxurious open concept kitchen boasts quartz countertops, a large island with additional storage space, tall white designer cabinets with crown molding, a walk-in pantry, and stainless steel appliances that include two ovens and a separate drink fridge. The family room is bright and airy and features a stunning gas fireplace with basket-weave tile detail. The crown molding continues throughout the main floor, with a coffered ceiling in the office and tray ceiling accents in the living room and dining room. The hardwood floors on the main level flow seamlessly right up the stairs to the entire second level. The huge primary suite includes volume tray ceilings, a ceiling fan, and a massive walk-in closet. The gorgeous primary bath contains a separate shower and soaker tub, ceramic tile, and dual sinks/vanities. The second and third bedrooms share a tasteful jack-and-jill full bath, and the fourth bedroom has its own full bath. The spacious laundry room is also located upstairs. All rooms feature professional window treatments. The exterior of the home is beautified by elegant architectural shingles, Hardie, and stone. The back Trex composite deck features lighting, automatic Sun setter shades, and steps down to a nice-sized backyard with a dedicated play area for little ones. Professional landscaping includes numerous trees, shrubs, and perennial gardens. The unfinished basement with high ceilings is already fully-insulated and roughed for a bathroom, ready for your finishing touches. For added safety, throughout the home there is a sprinkler system, active radon mitigation system, and home security system. Further, the house has smart home technology, an electric car outlet, incredible custom millwork, and an underground drain system - the list of features goes on and on. In addition to being so close to downtown, it is also convenient to Lake Minear, Adler Park, highly rated Libertyville schools, and the Metra - this home is a true gem right in the heart of Libertyville that you don't want to miss!
