Upon entering the home, you encounter a soaring foyer w/ marble flooring and a spiral staircase constructed by North Shore Stairs in Lake Bluff. From there, a hallway takes you into the handsome, bright office that features custom walnut paneling & built-in shelving/cabinets from Burmeister. French doors then take you into the living room & family room areas w/ natural wood trim, more custom built-in cabinetry from Burmeister, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace w/ gas starter & gas logs. You then move into the spacious, bright gourmet kitchen & breakfast area which features expansive quartz countertops, custom Burmeister soft-close cabinetry, Wolf double ovens, a Wolf 6-burner cooktop (w/ griddle), a 48' Sub Zero side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, 2 Miele dishwashers, and a large island w/ quartz countertop, breakfast bar w/ seating for 4, a Shaw Farmhouse prep sink, and Sub Zero refrigerator & freezer drawers. The kitchen area also has a walk-in pantry and a work area w/ even more storage and filing space. The butler's pantry leads into the formal dining room w/ another wood-burning fireplace. In the back of the house, the huge mudroom has 5 wide cubbies each w/ seating area, shelving, and cabinet space for shoes, backpacks, sports gear, etc. On the 2nd floor, there are 5 bedrooms and a bonus room that could be turned into a 7th bedroom. The primary bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and wood-burning fireplace w/ gas starter & gas log. The primary bathroom has radiant heat flooring, a large double vanity, a lovely soaking tub, walk-in shower, and separate water closet. A large, sun-lit walk-in closet w/ island and lots of hanging space completes the Primary Suite. Bedrooms #2 & #3 both have nice walk-in closets & lovely en suite bathrooms w/ radiant heat flooring and walk-in showers. Bedrooms #4 & #5 share a Jack & Jill bathroom w/ radiant heat flooring, a double vanity, and a tub/shower. The nice-sized bonus room could also be used as a 7th bedroom. Finally, a huge laundry room w/ a utility sink, tons of counter space, and 2 Whirpool Duet washers & 2 Whirlpool Duet dryers completes the 2nd floor. The lower level is an incredible space w/ radiant heat flooring, 10' ceilings, a large exercise room, a theater room w/ JVC video system & retractable screen, and the 6th bedroom w/ en suite bath. It also contains a recreation room w/ fireplace, a gaming area, and a cool wood bar w/ seating for 8 people, 2 Sub Zero beverage refrigerators, a Miele dishwasher, a Sub Zero ice maker, and lighted backbar. The 3-car garage has radiant heat flooring, 9'+ ceilings, 3 individual bays, and LiftMaster Professional opener systems. Outside, the thoughtful, high-end amenities continue. The backyard is completely fenced and has been professionally graded in anticipation of an in-ground pool. There is also a lighted sport court w/ room for a full basketball court AND a half-court. A lovely bluestone patio runs the entire width of the house and contains a built-in Fisher & Paykel DCS grill w/ separate gas burners, a beautiful brick fireplace w/ gas starter & gas logs, and plenty of space for tables & chairs. There is an irrigation system that covers the entire property. The roof is cedar shake w/ copper gutters & downspouts. This magnificent, one-of-a-kind home truly needs to be seen to be appreciated!
