A remarkable convergence of timeless style and location - steps to town, the train and schools! Set on a quiet wooded lot in Downers Grove and surrounded by lush landscaping, this stately home was custom-built by the owners and designed by renowned architect Mike Abraham. True stucco, cedar and historic brick exterior radiates charm and sophistication as it introduces the gracious interiors, which span approximately 8,713 square feet. Exposed rustic wood beams, rich wood floors and Craftsman touches lend to the authentic feel emanating throughout the house. The main level has been recently refashioned with new paint and designer lighting, giving it a whole new look that can easily accommodate traditional- or transitional-style decor. Warm and inviting living spaces flow effortlessly into each other, from the sun-lit formal dining room that opens to the picturesque courtyard to the spacious family room with a soaring two-story ceiling. The newly painted kitchen will delight the gourmet chef with a commercial-grade range, double ovens, large Sub-Zero fridge, butler's pantry, home office and expansive island with seating area. A sitting room, a second office (both with separate entrances) and a sumptuous owner's suite complete the main floor. On the second level, there are four bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom and three bedrooms that share a unique jack-and-jill-style bathroom setup with double sinks, a separate shower and separate sink and bathtub/shower combination. On the other side of the second level rests a large space for lounging and a guest bedroom suite with a sitting room and private bath. The newly painted finished basement has a large recreation room, gym, powder room and plenty of space for storage. In the backyard, a beautiful pool, spa, patio area and charming pool house - complete with an outdoor shower - provides an inspiring setting for outdoor entertaining or summer play. The regulation 25-meter pool and 1-meter diving board especially provide ample opportunities for aquatic fun and fitness for all ages and talents! A prime location puts the future owner within walking distance to highly ranked Pierce Downer Elementary School, as well as Herrick Middle School and Downers Grove North High School. You can also walk to the train and charming downtown Downers Grove with all of its new restaurants and shops. A must-see...you'll want to move right in!
