Discover the understated elegance of this stunning home, where a solid exterior hints at an exceptionally designed interior. Featuring Art Deco elements like curved walls and period moldings, this residence offers a seamless blend of modern comfort and classic elegance, born through its discerning and inspired owners. The layout provides an open flow while allowing for privacy in separate living spaces. Located in a maintenance-free community of primarily single-family homes, at Prairie Ridge you'll enjoy an easy lifestyle surrounded by park-like scenery, complete with majestic trees and vibrant flowering shrubs. Just 7 minutes from downtown Crystal Lake, you'll have convenient access to retail and services, while living in a tranquil setting. Built by a contractor as his family's primary residence, this superbly insulated home has only had three families, including the current owners. It boasts luxury fixtures and top-of-the-line appliances from Subzero, Thermador, and Bosch. The kitchen includes a wine fridge, Butler's pantry with refrigerator drawers, and a large walk-in pantry, making it every chef's dream. With three graciously-sized bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, there is also the potential for an in-law suite on the walkout lower level. Having its own separate access, the lower level is already plumbed and wired for a secondary kitchen if this meets the new owners' needs. The master suite is a private retreat, complete with a beautifully appointed bathroom and a spacious walk-in closet. For those with a green thumb, a small garden offers space for growing flowers or herbs. The property also includes a fenced Zen Stone Garden, perfect for your dog, so you won't have to brave the winter weather for walks. The expansive deck and the secluded screen porch overlooking a vast open area will be the family's favorite 'hangout spaces' in the temperate months. Experience modern, low-maintenance luxury living at its finest, with over 5,000 square feet of exquisite living space, two stately fireplaces, and artistic accents throughout. This home exudes a warm and inviting ambiance, perfect for entertaining and everyday living. Top-tier schools, two Metra stations in close proximity. This is a very special home, not to miss!
