Dreaming of living in a custom sanctuary, which produces more energy than it consumes? Welcome to Acorn Glade, an award-winning all electric Passive House designed by internationally recognized Tom Bassett-Dilley Architects. The nearby prairie provided design inspiration with aging-in-place, low maintenance, energy efficiency, and healthy home as the primary design objectives. Privacy, stewardship, flexible floor plan, and public water were also incorporated into the design. This home exemplifies exceptional comfort and efficiency, with every detail carefully designed to enhance sight, sound, light, temperature, air quality, and the thoughtful use of space. Interior living space offers ~2,000 sq. ft. with an additional ~1,400 sq. ft. of outdoor living space including two enclosed porches, rooftop garden, covered deck, and patio. The fenced backyard can accommodate an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), outdoor playset, fire pit, etc., while the front and side yards feature raised garden beds, native gardens, stone pathways, and native turf grasses. The attached carport has NACS charging port, storage, and accommodates two large electric vehicles. This a very quiet private property with views of nature and the Belmont Golf Course, blocks from the Belmont Metra BNSF train stop and underpass, award-winning Puffer Elementary School, and Herrick Middle School, and Downers Grove North High School. Quick access to Ogden Avenue, I-355, and I-88. This is a rare opportunity to live in a very special home and one not to miss. Move confidently.
