Talk about living - this home offers a feast of space and finish to make great moments inside and out! Situated on just over two acres of land just east of Libertyville's historic downtown district in the Oak Grove K-8 school district, you'll enjoy the privacy of this location with proximity to all the area has to offer. That includes the vibrant restaurant and retail scene downtown, the forest preserves and extensive trail system, Lake Minear Beach, and easy access to O'Hare and area corporate campuses along I-94. The home itself is worthy of hyperbole. Rebuilt and reimagined in 2007 by The Goebeler Company, there is over 4,700 s.f. of living area filled with the quality finishes, exquisite millwork, and attention to detail the builder is known for. It looks like a dream, and lives like one too. To describe the front porch is to describe the home; It's spacious and elegant without being ostentatious and you will agree that the analogy carries through. The thoughtful layout affords space to entertain a crowd of weekend guests or a large dinner party with equal ease. The list of features is long, and includes gorgeous interior light, peaceful views, extensive hardwood flooring, five bedrooms, four full and two half baths, a first floor bedroom suite, first floor office, 2nd floor laundry, a 2nd floor family room/office (in addition to one on the first), four garage spaces, and a finished basement. There's also a delightful outbuilding with a covered patio that doubles as a tool shed and playhouse - if you want to add a pool (for which there is ample room) this would make an excellent cabana. The primary suite is a true retreat. Double doors open to a spacious foyer that lets onto the separate spaces of bedroom, walk-in closet, and bath suite. The sunset view from here is noteworthy. The bath features a separate shower, spa tub, dual vanities, and custom built-ins. The kitchen is finished in timeless white cabinets with vintage-style pulls, leathered granite counters, and a subway tile backsplash. Cooks will appreciate the high-powered Wolf range and the pot filler. The grounds are extensively landscaped, and feature an arbor, paver patio off the family room, perennial gardens, mature trees, and a large privacy berm at the back of the property.
