Cook, US
Welcome to Whitman Woods, where custom craftsmanship, space, and pride of ownership come together in a home that rarely becomes available. Offered for the VERY first time by its original owner, this expansive custom-built ranch offers over 4,100 square feet of finished living space designed for comfort, entertaining, and everyday functionality. From the rounded covered front porch to the attached 2.5-car garage, this home immediately stands apart with its warmth, character, and timeless design. Inside, you'll find fresh NEW carpet throughout the entire home, generously sized rooms, TWO separate living areas, and a layout that gives everyone space to spread out. The main level features tasteful updates, stainless steel appliances, under-cabinet lighting with dimmers, a whole-house vacuum system, and both gas or wood-burning fireplace options that create the perfect cozy atmosphere year-round. The spacious primary suite serves as a private retreat, featuring a large walk-in closet and plenty of room to unwind at the end of the day. The home also features a relaxing jetted tub that adds an extra touch of comfort and functionality. Downstairs, the massive finished WALKOUT basement with soaring 10-foot ceilings creates the perfect extension of the home for entertaining, related living, hobbies, or working from home. The basement features an impressive recreation area with a wet bar and abundant space to gather, along with a separate 4th bedroom currently being used as a wood shop complete with its own walk-in closet. Major mechanical updates provide peace of mind, including TWO BRAND NEW furnaces, a newer water heater installed in December 2025, and a 200-amp electrical panel. Step outside onto the back deck and enjoy the quiet beauty of Whitman Woods, a sought-after established subdivision known for its mature trees, spacious homes, and convenient location near parks, shopping, dining, schools, and interstate access for commuters heading to Chicago or Northwest Indiana. Homes with this kind of size, flexibility, craftsmanship, and care simply do not come around often, especially from the original owner. This is the kind of forever home buyers wait years to find.
