Simply sensational!!! This exciting, custom-built home is like no other!!! Brilliantly designed by a well-known NorthShore architect, this distinctive all stucco home, artfully blends a flowing open floor plan with grand room sizes and boasts dramatic ceiling heights where spectacular oversized windows and skylights bathe the entire house in natural sunlight in every direction! And, this showcase, nestled back on a beautifully wooded 300' deep lot on a pretty, winding tree-filled east Northbrook street, enjoys a fantastic location just blocks to town only minutes to O'Hare and downtown Chicago expressways-it just doesn't get any better! Highlights of this fabulous 4,300+ square foot 5 bedroom, 4.1 bath home include: front and back staircases, 9+ ceilings, all bedrooms with adjoining baths, a main floor bedroom/office, primary suite with spa-like bath & private terrace, gourmet kitchen with center island, 2 fireplaces, 3 stone patios, hardwood floors and an attached 3 car garage to name just a few! Two sets of pillars provide a stately entrance to this extraordinary home. A flagstone walkway and pretty portico lead to the gracefully arched double doors which, when opened, gives guests the first glimpse of special things to come. The breathtaking height of the vaulted ceilings, complimented by striking beamed 'buttresses', numerous skylights and cathedral windows accentuate the impressiveness of the dramatic foyer which has a staircase leading to the 2nd floor gallery overlooking the fabulous 2-story family room. French doors open to the large living room (or 2nd family room/library/flex room) complete with oversized windows and pretty moldings; an inviting wood burning fireplace (1 of 2) is flanked by floor-to-ceiling bookcases adding to the warm ambiance. Another set of French doors open to the 5th bedroom, currently used as a main floor office, which has an adjoining full bath and both rooms have yet more French doors leading out to individual stone terraces perfect for parties or relaxing and enjoying the lush surrounding grounds. The magnificent family room, boasting great room proportions, features a spectacular soaring stone fireplace with windows everywhere fully capturing natural light and lush views of the surrounding grounds. A built-in wet bar is perfect for entertaining fun, and the party can continue to the banquet-sized formal dining room with built-in cabinetry or continue outdoors to the flagstone patio where nature and tranquility abounds. Adjacent is the delightful kitchen featuring handsome glazed cherry cabinetry, a large center island, XL pantry and appliances including SubZero & Thermador plus there is a roomy eating area as well. Front and back staircases lead to four large bedrooms in the upper level, each having volume ceilings, private or connecting baths and walk-in closets. The romantic primary suite, a retreat in its own separate wing, has a sitting area and more French doors open to a large balcony overlooking the peaceful backyard. There is a luxurious marble spa-like bath with jacuzzi and steam shower, dual vanities with make-up center and 3 sets of generous closets including 2 organized walk-ins. An enormous lower level with 9' ceilings is ready to be finished for any future rec, game and exercise areas with plenty of room left over for storage and workrooms, too. The large mud room, with cubbies and built-in storage seating, is right off the attached 3 car garage and a guest bath and full-sized laundry room is nearby. Professional landscaping complete with an underground sprinkling system includes flowering trees, mature bushes and colorful perennials all of which further enhance the charming look of this exceptionally, one-of-a-kind home in a premier and picturesque Northbrook location!
