Be amazed as you step through the front door of this thoughtfully designed dream home. Meticulously maintained by the original owners, this custom-built gem boasts an all-brick exterior and a dramatic two-story entry and living room beautifully illuminated by multiple skylights and highlighted by a towering limestone-clad gas log fireplace. The hardwood floors, refinished in a rich walnut shade, lead you to an expansive, open kitchen. Here, you'll find a massive island, multi-level cabinets with pull-out shelving, granite countertops, and updated appliances including a Bosch stove and dishwasher, and an LG French door refrigerator. The adjacent breakfast nook, bathed in light from windows on all three sides, offers a lovely view of the garden oasis. Entertaining is a breeze with the home's flowing floor plan, large dining room featuring a tray ceiling, recently refreshed powder room, built-in speakers, and dual exits to a multi-level brick paver patio and serene backyard, complete with a bi-level shed/playhouse. After the party is over, retreat to the main-level primary suite, which also features a tray ceiling, private egress to the back patio, substantial walk-in closet, and an elegantly updated spa-like en-suite. This luxurious bathroom includes a separate shower with multiple shower heads and bench, large whirlpool tub, quartz counters, dual sinks, and a separate water closet. From the main room, a dramatic staircase with updated handrails and iron balustrades leads to a charming sitting area overlooking the main living space. An open catwalk takes you to three spacious bedrooms-one with an en-suite and walk-in closet, and two sharing a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Tucked away for privacy, the office/bonus room is filled with natural light from its two dormer windows and boasts extra storage areas, while the adorable craft room provides a perfect space for creative endeavors. The fully finished lower level is all about fun and comfort. It features a large media room, a granite topped bar large enough to seat six, flows seamlessly into a second kitchen equipped with oven, microwave, side-by-side refrigerator, dishwasher, wine fridge, and kegerator. A thermostat-controlled fireplace and gorgeous slate flooring add to the recreational space large enough for a billiard or ping pong table. Additionally, the lower level includes a spacious bedroom, a full bath, and an exercise room with rubber flooring, perfect for yoga or weight training. Not a single inch of space is wasted, as evidenced by the two extra-large storage spaces that round out the lower level. The first-floor laundry room with cabinetry, a large garage with ample built-in shelving, dual HVAC systems, brick paver driveway, and brand-new roof, gutters and downspouts complete the list of features this stunning home has to offer. Located on a peaceful street in a highly-rated school district, this one-of-a-kind home is within walking distance to downtown Arlington Heights, grocery stores, restaurants, numerous parks, and schools. Turn the key and move right in-this home has everything you've been dreaming of.
