Stunning 2022 new construction on an extra-wide and landscaped, lush lot with five bedrooms plus den, three and a half baths, and nearly 4,000 finished square feet across three levels, with a rare four bedrooms up. Behind the board-and-batten and brick facade, black windows, and covered front porch is a house that was finished with real intent, not builder defaults. The main level runs front to back, sight-lines from the living room straight through to the family room and its gas fireplace, set in a shiplap surround under a solid white oak mantel. Because the house clears the homes on either side, the main level draws natural light from every exposure throughout the day. Formal dining wall accents, refined millwork, and a chef's kitchen built for real cooking: two-tone custom cabinetry, waterfall quartz island with seating, gloss patterned tile backsplash, undercabinet lighting, double wall ovens, gas cooktop under a stainless hood, breakfast nook, walk-in pantry, and a separate butler's pantry with its own prep sink. A powder room with patterned tile accent wall and black hex floor serves guests, and a rear mudroom with oak bench, cubbies, and hooks opens to the patio, the detail that earns its keep every winter. Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene retreat featuring a vaulted ceiling with exposed white oak beams, walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath with full-height porcelain slab walls, soaking tub, double vanity with quartz, marble-look tile floor, and an oversized frameless glass shower with rainhead and handheld. Three more generously sized bedrooms look out into the treetops, and a dual-vanity full bath and true second-floor laundry room with cabinetry, quartz-topped utility sink, and patterned cement tile complete the level. The finished lower level lives like a second home: a recreation room with linear gas fireplace and tray ceiling, wet bar with espresso cabinetry, quartz counter and wine fridge, office with French doors, and a fifth bedroom with full bath and glass shower, currently set up as a private gym, with a walk-in closet large enough to hold a treadmill. Generous windows along the rear keep the whole level bright. Outside, a fully fenced yard with paver patio sized for both a dining table and a lounge group, low-maintenance turf lawn, and planted borders. A full concrete side walk runs the length of the house past a deep bed of roses and ornamental grasses, and the detached two-car garage is sided, roofed, and lit to match the house. White oak floors, black hardware, and custom shades throughout. Close to the Metra, the Forest Preserves, bike trails, and Sauganash shops.
