Set back on a private, tree-lined drive, this one-of-a-kind home offers more than 4,000 square feet of living space on 2.5 wooded acres with a rare combination of privacy, character, and potential. Distinctive architectural details include a full-height stone fireplace, beamed ceilings, cedar-lined walls and ceilings, Spanish-style interior doors, and expansive windows that frame views of the wooded grounds, patio, and pool. The floor plan flows from the foyer into the great room, dining area, and gourmet kitchen, creating comfortable spaces for everyday living and entertaining. A billiard room, enclosed porch, loft or office area, and upper-level catwalk add flexibility and charm throughout the home. The European-style kitchen features an expansive island, brick-surrounded cooking area, double convection oven, Corian counters, wood ceilings, and a large breakfast-area window. The upper level includes four bedrooms accessed by the catwalk, including a primary bedroom with double-door entry, an updated custom ensuite, and a cedar-lined walk-in closet. Outdoor living is highlighted by an expansive stamped-concrete patio and an 18' x 36' in-ground pool with 12' depth, offering diving-board and slide potential. Unincorporated A-2 zoning provides flexibility for a variety of lifestyle uses, including horses, chickens, friendly farm animals, or potential additional outbuilding options such as a pole barn or garage. Trails, firepit areas, and a garden greenhouse add more ways to enjoy the natural setting. A unique opportunity for a buyer to bring vision, creativity, and updates to a property with exceptional space, setting, and potential. Sold as-is; pricing reflects condition. Located in the desirable Lincoln-Way school area with convenient access to I-355, Sanctuary Golf Course, restaurants, shopping, and New Lenox Commons.
