Property Description

Extraordinary artisanal woodwork graces this custom property. As in all truly well executed designs, the blend of remarkably artistic detail and spacious, flowing interiors create a welcome sanctuary. ***** Gleaming hardwoods, illuminated tray ceilings and repurposed architectural artifacts lend an eclectic flair, while custom Australian Lacewood inlay, built in bookcases and brawny 8 baseboards add to the sturdy, homey charm. ***** The kitchen is made for serious entertaining with Wolf, Sub-Zero, Fisher & Paykel, granite and distinctive custom-crafted cabinetry. Historic pillars flank the range and reveal a secret stash for storage; they were lovingly saved from demolition when an Elgin rectory was remodeled. Matching pillars anchor the beauty of the fireplace. ***** The fantastic primary suite is a serene retreat. Spanning over 716 square feet, it includes a separate sitting area (wired for surround sound), walk-in closet and fantastic spa bath. ***** The sun-drenched lower level is awash with windows which masterfully frame views of the bubbling water feature in the back garden. ***** An expansive, newly installed brick patio pours from the kitchen glass doors, overlooking the water feature. Texture and color bursts from each garden, showcasing the Master Gardener's expertise. Just under a shady tree is a darling she-shed which echoes the design of the home. It's resplendent with a chandelier and whimsical outdoor gathering spot reminiscent of a relaxing European Bistro. It's no wonder the architecture critic of the Chicago Tribune, Blair Kamin, hired this talented contractor/artist to devise and execute improvements to his personal dwelling! Spend some time here drinking in the features. You will love it.
