About this home

Looking for a perfect home to escape to? With spectacular gardens (formerly Chicago Tribune "Best Midwest Garden"), private walking trails, ponds, and magnificent oaks, this beautiful sanctuary allows you to get back to what is important. Nature dictates the thoughtful design features inside and out. Extensive renovations (with large addition completed in 2008) enhances the unique features of this home. Floor to ceiling windows (Pella Architectural Series) provide breathtaking views of the gardens, stocked Koi pond, waterfall, fountain, meandering streams with stone walls, simple bridges, and natural paths to the Kyte Creek. Custom cabinetry throughout with quality finishes, heated floors and so much more. Interior and exterior sound system for personal enjoyment and entertaining on the cantilevered deck over the pond, surrounded by professionally landscaped, award winning gardens and a 1/2 acre Koi pond. A large outbuilding with a 2nd floor loft offers endless possibilities as a workshop or additional entertaining space and features radiant heated floors and separate electric panel and water. Peace and tranquility, your own oasis yet easy access to shopping, dining, and interstates I-88 and I-39.
