Welcome to this nature lover's paradise in the highly desirable Forest Trails Community on an incredible lot. The mature trees and fern laced walkway create an inviting entrance to the covered front porch. Once inside, you'll notice the lovely hardwood flooring and detailed moldings in the large Dining and Living Rooms. The quality custom Kitchen with walk-in pantry, maple cabinetry with slide-outs, crown molding, and granite countertops (2015) is a wonderful heart of the home. The Kitchen flows to the Dinette and the eye-catching Family Room with an elegant yet cozy brick gas log fireplace and built in shelving. The main floor office with built-in cabinetry, panel molding, and wooded views provides a wonderful work environment. Main Floor Laundry Connections are found in the Mud Room off the Attached Garage or there are also Washer/Dryer connections in the basement. A split staircase makes for easy access to the upstairs where 4 bedrooms (most with walk-in closets!) and 2 full baths are found. The primary suite has a spacious ensuite bath with jetted tub, separate shower, skylight, separate water closet, and dual sinks. The walk-out basement is an unexpected joy with surprising and usable additional entertainment spaces. There is a stunning 2nd Brick Fireplace in the basement rec room plus a game table area, exercise room, 5th bedroom, and a full bath. Of course, this well designed home also has great storage and a workroom. Abundant indoor space is found with 2,983 SF of Finished Living area on the main and 2nd floor plus over 1,000 SF in the Finished Basement. The deck is capable of handling large scale entertainment while intimate enough for a personal retreat. Low maintenance composite decking (2008) with new metal railings (2021) and an arbor for bird feeders and flowers means you can relax and enjoy the moment. There is also a lower level brick paver patio off the walk-out basement sliding door. This is truly a beautiful home in every season inside and out. Enjoy the wooded canopy and stop to smell the flowers while walking the outside paths and nestled gardens. The lush backyard makes for unparalleled privacy and beauty while still enjoying the benefits of neighborhood and community living. Roof (2016)~Furnace/AC (2010)~Exterior of Home Painted (2024). Wonderful School District 25. The location of this lot can't be beat with close access to the prairie path and the park. Also nearby are forest preserves with additional paths and Wheaton Academy. Meticulous care from long-time owners who have an eye for detail in the design and maintenance of their home appear in every room of this house. Put this on your must see list!
