Are you tired of the hustle and bustle of the big city, traffic jams and the daily grind? This quality home IS a "little slice of heaven"!! Situated on 4.8 acres is a wonderfully spacious custom-made ranch style home. 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, full unfinished basement with 9-foot ceilings and in-floor heat; just 6 miles west of the I-57 Manteno exit (easy commute), three miles north of the Kankakee River State Park, and just one mile north of Rock Creek; hiking, biking, fishing, horse-back riding and walking trails are just minutes away. The exterior of the home is 75% brick and 25% Hardie fiber cement siding and is surrounded by perennial landscaping which includes plentiful flowers and many mature trees. Pretty. Walk up to the covered front porch and enter a spacious foyer and great room; vaulted ceilings, sky lights and windows bring in natural light. Beautifully placed stone surrounds the new, high-efficiency, wood-burning fireplace. This fantastic floor plan has forced air as well as in-floor heat; separated into five zones. COZY! The bedrooms have carpet, formal dining room/hardwood, and the remainder of the main floor boasts porcelain tile with the appearance of wood grain planks. West of the foyer is the master bedroom, master bathroom, bathroom #2 and second bedroom/office. East of the foyer is the formal dining room, kitchen, laundry room, bathroom #3 and two bedrooms separated by bathroom #4 which is the jack and jill style. The 3-car attached garage, also with in-floor heat has a staircase that leads to ample attic storage and access to forced-air mechanicals and whole house fan. Both the master bathroom and bathroom #2 COMPLETELY renovated and showers waterproofed with the Schluter system. Large, updated kitchen with timeless and meticulously kept oak cabinetry, eat-in kitchen, and breakfast bar. All stainless-steel appliances; new microwave, stove top and double oven, and new quartz countertop. Across the hall and separated by French doors is the formal dining room. Amazing woodwork, trim, cabinets, and solid doors throughout. TRUE QUALITY! The outdoor area has a fenced-in, 18 x 36 salt water in-ground pool with new heater (1 year), and includes winter cover and solar cover, outdoor firepit, small apple grove and unattached 38 x 50 metal out-building. This building has a brick front and is extremely well insulated, with roughed-in and plumbed toilet and vanity, set up for in-floor heat, 200 amp electric, 220V outlets, and new (2020) commercial grade opener on 10 x 9 new south commercial garage door. Unwind under the covered back porch or uncovered full stone patio. Plenty of space, near and far, barbeques, pool parties, quaint get-togethers, baseball games, volleyball, badminton etc. If you like to practice your shooting, there is a dedicated pistol/rifle backstop. There are two dedicated areas for a vegetable garden and flower garden as well. Man's or Woman's best friend is comfortable here too: separate 40 x 40 fenced-in area, separate dog run next to out-building. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets, peace and quiet. This IS home.
