The three car garage (one with an 8'/ taller door) leads to a main floor laundry and mud room. The setting of this well built home is one-of-a-kind, a large front yard encapsulates this property, making it feel very private, while the home overlooks the ravine from a custom paver patio, the expansive lot still allows for a large lawn and perfectly placed bedding areas and, even still, abundant woods between the home and the ravine allowing for additional privacy and natural insulation from the hot summer sun. This property is just 40 minutes to downtown Chicago and convenient to shopping however, from the moment you turn down Jacobs Lane, you will feel very much away from it all. This genuinely lovely retreat also neighbors a forest preserve and equestrian trails. It is difficult to articulate the beauty of this property and home. Offered here is a rarely found, quality, well-built, beautifully maintained, open floor-plan ranch home in a true park-like setting.
