A storybook facade surrounded by well-maintained gardens and lawns lends stunning curb appeal to this custom-built Western Springs abode on a prime oversized lot in a superb location. As you enter from the sweeping front porch, take in the impressive interior that features elegant millwork, stylized ceilings, and beautiful built-ins throughout. From the fireplace-warmed sitting room bathed in light by plantation-shuttered windows to the handsome office with French door access, there's a lot to love. Dark hardwood-style floors and crisp, neutral tones continue through the formal dining area into the kitchen. Delight the home cook with high-end stainless steel appliances, tons of white cabinetry, ample prep space on the expansive island, and a cheerful breakfast nook. Exposed beams add a rustic grace to the adjacent family room with a stone surrounding fireplace. Five bedrooms and 4.5 baths complete the private accommodations, including the primary suite. Sure to please, it has soaring vaulted ceilings, a balcony, walk-in closet, plus an opulent ensuite with a double vanity, large soaking tub, and glass-enclosed shower. A sophisticated new wine cellar and a wet bar await the avid entertainer in the fully finished basement. You'll also have a flex space to use as a gym. Enjoy a beverage by the outdoor fireplace as you unwind underneath the pergola overlooking your fenced-in backyard. Bonus features include two laundry rooms and a whole house generator.
