About This Home
As of March 2025A fantastic opportunity to own a large lot in the highly sought after Forest Ridge Estates in Spring Grove! This is a perfect lot that has both great yard space (with a sprinkler system) and the view of mature trees. Experience the beauty of each season as you look out over the trees in your own back yard! From the moment you walk in the front door, you will be captivated by the soaring ceilings in the living room and the many windows that flood the home with natural light. The dramatic stone fireplace is the focal point of the living area that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for both spending time with friends or enjoying a quiet evening at home. There is also a separate dining room and a den that can be used as an office, an additional family room or a music room. If you love to cook, this kitchen is perfect for you! It has a great layout and features tons of cabinets, granite countertops, high end appliances and a breakfast bar to entertain your family and friends while you cook. The adjacent eating area is a great spot for casual dining and from there, you can step into the screened back porch and enjoy the privacy of your view. There is also a large back deck that offers a great place to enjoy the tranquility of nature and get some sun in the summer time. This expanded ranch layout features a convenient split bedroom floor plan. The private primary suite has an ensuite bathroom with a large whirlpool tub, dual vanities and a separate shower. On the other side of the home, you have two additional bedrooms and access to a full bathroom in the hallway. The spacious laundry room has storage cabinets that are perfect to be used as your mudroom when you come in from the three car garage. To top off the experience of living in this well thought out home, the high end speaker system allows you to enjoy your favorite music wherever you go. The huge unfinished basement offers plenty of room for expansion with sliding doors that open to a patio and the back yard, a fireplace, high ceilings and great natural light. This home has been meticulously maintained and it shows! The Forest Ridge development was created around the natural woodlands and wetlands to offer residents a relaxed lifestyle that values nature. Yet you are only 50 minutes from both O'Hare and Milwaukee airports, 15 minutes from the Metra station and 20 minutes from Lake Geneva.
