Description
Perched on 5.4 rolling acres at one of the highest points in Cook County, this estate offers a rare blend of natural beauty, privacy, and modern living. Surrounded by mature oak and walnut trees and backing to a former horse farm, the property features a spring-fed pond, raised garden, mini pumpkin patch, apple trees, two chicken coops, fire pit, outdoor Bluetooth speakers, play set, and one of the best sledding hills around – all across from 4,000-acre Spring Lake Forest Preserve. Inside, hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, where a dramatic great room with cathedral ceiling showcases a knotty pine center beam, two-story limestone fireplace with knotty pine mantel, mounted TV, ceiling fans, and triple glass doors opening to the newly renovated (2024) three-season room. The 3-season space impresses with vertical board wall detail, epoxy flooring, counter-height fridge, cantilever window, and premium Dekton counters for indoor-outdoor seating/ entertaining. A two-story foyer welcomes with custom bookcases, alcove for art or furniture, dual guest closets, overlook from above, and a striking new iron light fixture. The immense dining room is perfect for gatherings, with crown molding, chair rail, niche for a buffet, speakers, oversized windows, and an urban-chic fixture with Edison bulbs. The main-level den adds flexibility for a bedroom or home office. The primary suite on the main floor offers a walk-in closet with new flooring and a luxurious bath with air jet tub, dual granite vanities with swivel mirrors, polished nickel sconces, stone tile floor, and glass-enclosed shower. The sunny country kitchen features cherry Shaker cabinetry with crown detail, stainless appliances, large pantry, bay window with seat, recessed lighting, and a casual dining area.

Upstairs are two expansive ensuite bedrooms with dormered ceilings, alcoves, walk-in closets, granite baths with new tubs, great secret spaces to play or study, and a catwalk hallway with built-in cabinetry and counters.
