Property Description
A Masterpiece of Architectural Grandeur & Tranquility Nestled on an extraordinary 4.44-acre estate, this breathtaking Orren Pickell design/build 11,000+ sq. ft. residence embodies the perfect harmony of elegance, craftsmanship, and modern convenience. A tree-lined circular driveway, accented by a porte-cochere and lush mature landscaping, sets an unmistakable tone of exclusivity from the moment you arrive. Inside, soaring ceilings, exquisite Peruvian walnut floors, and dazzling Shonbek chandeliers create a warm yet sophisticated ambiance. The grand first-floor primary suite is a serene retreat, featuring private deck access and a spa-inspired en-suite with marble finishes, a glass-enclosed shower, a separate soaking tub, and dual vanities. Complementing this sanctuary, his-and-her offices offer functional luxury for the modern homeowner. Designed for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining, the 2015-renovated kitchen features quartz countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, a cozy hearth room, and a sun-drenched dining area. Adjacent to this space, a stately den and a charming sunroom invite seamless indoor-outdoor living, offering tranquil views of the lushly landscaped grounds. The lower level is a destination in itself-an English-style retreat designed for entertainment and leisure. A billiard area, a sophisticated media/recreation space, a 1,100+ bottle wine cellar, and a cigar lounge with dedicated ventilation create an unrivaled ambiance. For ultimate convenience, this level also includes a full kitchen, an additional bedroom and bath, and a multi-purpose workout or event space. Stepping outdoors, a resort-style heated pool and spa take center stage, surrounded by expansive patios and new Trex decking, ideal for hosting summer soirees. A private pool house adds another layer of comfort, while the sprawling grounds offer the unique opportunity for equestrian enthusiasts, as the estate is zoned for horses. Beyond the aesthetics, this home is a sanctuary of modern amenities: a whole-house filtration system, radiant heated floors in the bathrooms and lower level, smart home automation, a generator, and a recently upgraded HVAC system. Over $600,000 in enhancements ensure every detail is thoughtfully curated for beauty and function. Adding to its appeal, this estate enjoys significant property tax credits from Mettawa, with nearly $10,000 refunded in the past year-effectively reducing taxes from $37,338 to approximately $28,000 far lower than neighboring cities. Experience a rare fusion of privacy, luxury, and accessibility-where refined living meets the serenity of nature, all within easy reach of Chicagoland's vibrant offerings.
