Are you in search of 2+ acres of wooded privacy? Look no further than this unique CUSTOM BUILT home IN LIBERTYVILLE! The quiet is deceiving. You'd never know how accessible the tollway is, and how close you are to all that downtown Libertyville has to offer! Enter the home to it's brilliant open staircase and dramatic cathedral ceiling in the formal living room. Head upstairs to 3 generously sized bedrooms and TWO full baths! The loft will make a fantastic office or playroom space. One of the 3 bedrooms is the home's original master suite with walk in closet and en suite bath. Heading back downstairs, you'll be blown away by the distinct recessed kitchen! The super cool post modern architecture - with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and 42" cabinets - allows guests to be a part of the action in the family room without everyone gathering in the host's prep space. It's truly one-of-a-kind! A spacious 1st floor laundry/ mudroom provides an amazing amount of storage and space upon entering the home from the garage. The mudroom leads to the 1/2 bath which is also accessible from the hallway! But the masterpiece of the home is the 1st floor primary suite addition (2011). Enjoy your own personal oasis, without taking the stairs! This suite boasts a HUGE walk in closet and a spa-like bathroom with additional 1/2 bath you have to see to believe! Floor to ceiling windows bring nature indoors. But if you want to experience the real thing, just step out your sliders to the hardwood deck and spacious backyard! Enjoy the serenity that this property offers. Bring your plans and put in a pool or your own basketball court...or BOTH!
