The spacious, open kitchen is perfect for everyday meals or elegant entertaining, with a dedicated dining area and views of the pool and garden hideaway. It features stainless steel Frigidaire Professional appliances (refrigerator, oven, stove, and dishwasher new in 2017, microwave new in 2024!), Corian countertops with wood trim, oak cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and a convenient island with a sink. A laundry/mud room with tile flooring and built-in cabinetry provides access to the backyard, and for formal gatherings, a separate dining room awaits! From the kitchen, flow seamlessly into the spacious family room, anchored by a cozy brick fireplace. French doors lead to both a large main floor office which extends the functionality of this level, and a sunroom with a vaulted ceiling, multiple skylights, and access to the expansive outdoor sanctuary. From the grand, two-story foyer, ascend the winding staircase to the second floor. The luxurious primary suite is a haven of relaxation, complete with a skylight and a walk-in closet with double mirrored doors; the en suite bathroom is a true retreat, featuring a whirlpool tub with a ceramic tile surround and a separate shower. Three additional bedrooms ensure ample space for family and guests. And don't forget the versatile bonus room above the heated garage! Complete with bamboo floors and its own air filtration system (both 2010), this space is perfect for a home gym, playroom, 5th bedroom or guest suite. The lower level of this home offers even more living space with a fully finished basement (full remodel, 2014), ideal for a media or game room, and space for a play area or second office. A full bathroom, tons of storage, and a crawl space under the sunroom complete this level. This home has been thoughtfully updated with a newer sump pump, water softener (2019), one new A/C unit and furnace (2022), and a new top-of-the-line pool heater (2023) and energy-efficient pool pump (2022).

R-1
Residential District
The R-1 Districts are intended to accommodate low-density, large-lot residential development and to ensure the protection of areas that develop in such a manner. These districts are a higher density version of the very-low density RE District. Like the RE District, the E and R-1 Districts are expected to accommodate only a very small amount of the county’s overall housing needs. These districts primarily serve those households who desire to live in low-density estate areas and are willing to assume the costs of doing so. Because of the relatively sparse population in E-zoned and R-1-zoned areas, the county will not give high priority to the provision of public services in the areas. Instead, public service provision by the county will be concentrated in areas where more intense future development is called for by the Regional Framework Plan. The low densities permitted in the E and R-1 Districts generally permit in accordance with applicable Lake County Health Department rules; see Chapter 171 on-site, individual sewage disposal systems and wells, thereby reducing the need for inefficient public expenditures. The R-1 Districts are intended to implement and correspond to the Regional Framework Plan’s Residential-Medium Lot future land use designation.
