About This Home

An entertainer's dream comes to life at this Whispering Woods retreat! Set on 1.38 wooded acres, this 4 bed, 4 bath walk-out ranch offers a resort-style lifestyle just minutes from the Illinois border for an easy Chicago commute. The backyard is your private oasis, featuring a heated in-ground pool, professional landscaping, Sonos speakers inside and out, a shed, new fence, and new pool cover-perfect for gatherings or quiet relaxation. Inside, the main level boasts 10' ceilings and cherrywood flooring, a vaulted great room with a dramatic floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, and a built-in wet bar. The chef's kitchen includes quartz counters, matching backsplash, cherry cabinetry, walk-in pantry, stainless steel appliances, and a Wolf cooktop. A private office with French doors sits just off the entry. The primary suite is a true retreat with heated floors, jetted tub with built-in TV, dual granite vanities, walk-in shower, and oversized walk-in closet. The finished walk-out basement elevates entertaining with a home theater (all media stays), a rec room with tray ceilings and second fireplace, full wet bar with dishwasher and beverage fridge, climate-controlled wine cellar, and a 500-gallon saltwater aquarium. A poker room or potential 4th bedroom with hidden passage and a steam shower bath complete this luxurious space. Additional highlights include a heated 3.5-car garage with epoxy floors, battery backup sump pump, whole-house Generac generator with new battery, in-ground sprinklers, and recent updates to roof, HVAC, and water heater. This is a rare opportunity to own a luxury ranch designed for unforgettable entertaining, resort-style outdoor living, and serene acreage privacy.
