Imagine owning an architectural masterpiece of design and craftsmanship located just 2.5 miles from the University of Illinois campus. This one owner, one-of-a-kind, contemporary passive solar home features 4,000 square feet of both open and private spaces with a soaring cathedral ceiling greeting you upon entry. Set on a corner lot at the end of a park-like cul-du-sac, a wall of windows brings the outside into your future home. Start every day with morning light illuminating the main living spaces. When you open the powered window coverings, the park-like views will bring a smile to your face. You will feel like you are living in a 5-Star resort. The owners designed this home with a magnificent primary bedroom suite on the first floor. The bedroom suite includes a wall of built-in oak furniture, a connecting office/study, and a luxurious bathroom with double showers, a bidet, custom cherry cabinets and double sinks. The suite also includes an enormous walk-in closet, and a hall of oak and cedar closets leading to a private sunroom with walls of glass. Look one direction and you're looking at a private deck with 7' fencing and a Hot Springs Hot Tub for your soaking pleasure. Look the other direction and take in the large backyard with tiered planters, a large deck, a fire pit, loads of beds housing ferns and a literal forest of trees. This home has a large living room that flows into a large dining room. A 1/2 guest bath sits near the kitchen which has a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf double ovens, a Thermador cook top and a Bosch dish washer. Sit around the center island or make your way to the kitchen dine-in area with views of the backyard or the front of the property. The adjacent family room has a custom-built media center and is wired for stereo sound. If you want to go to the second floor, take your pick of two staircases. The main, front, glass-railed staircase ascends to a glass-railed bridge overlooking the main living space and connects to bedrooms 2 and 3. The back staircase risws from the laundry room to the 4 th bedroom, a huge space that is currently used as an exercise, office and TV watching area. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are en-suite and include walk-in closets and bathrooms. The first-floor laundry room features loads of cabinetry, a front-loading Electrolux washer and dryer and a utility sink. There is also a full-sized door leading to a large redwood fenced dog-run. This home features a 2 1/2 car garage with a work bench, storage cabinets, organizing shelving and hooks, plus a spare freezer and refrigerator. If you like a walking lifestyle, this home is in a neighborhood with internal sidewalks and located only 1/4 mile from a neighborhood park, or a center with a wine bar, donut shop, ice cream shop, cleaners, gym, banks and a Chinese restaurant.
