Description
A QUINTESSENTIAL COLONIAL IN A SETTING THAT FEELS LIKE A PRIVATE NATURE PRESERVE! Impeccably maintained & beautifully updated, this classic brick-on-all-four-sides home is nestled on 1.26 magnificent acres in iconic Oaksbury, where mature trees, perennial gardens, a pond & creek create an extraordinary backdrop. Between Barrington & Lake Zurich, this is a rare combination of timeless architecture, comfortable living & an abundance of nature-complete with deer, fox, turtles, toads, frogs and even sandhill cranes. The stocked pond offers year-round recreation: fish in every season (yes, even ice fishing!), skate, play hockey or simply enjoy the ever-changing scenery. An arborist said the property boasts the largest sugar maple she has seen in the area & you can even make your own maple syrup! Inside, classic Colonial details blend beautifully with thoughtful updates. Hardwood floors extend throughout both levels, while pocket doors, recessed lighting & charming millwork with pediments over the room openings add architectural character. An inviting center entry with double-door closet leads guests to an expansive living room featuring plantation shutters & abundant natural light while the generously sized dining room will accommodate your gatherings with ease. The 2023 white kitchen renovation delivers style and substance with freshly painted cabinetry, new hardware, white quartz countertops, white tile backsplash, task lighting and a fabulous Wolf dual-fuel range and oven. Stainless appliances include a French-door refrigerator (2019), dishwasher (2023) and microwave. The adjacent breakfast room overlooks the spectacular grounds. The family room is warm and inviting with painted brick fireplace, extensive recessed lighting and direct access to the home's showstopper-the sunroom spanning the entire rear of the house. With a knotty-pine plank ceiling, skylights, two walls of glass, ceiling fan and exposed brick wall, this is a truly special space for entertaining, dining, reading, relaxing, winter naps or simply watching nature unfold outside. It is an extension of the home you'll use all year long. The updated powder room features white Kohler commode, white subway tile and a high-profile white quartz vanity top. The exceptionally functional main-level laundry doubles as an organized drop zone with cabinetry, wall hooks and sink, plus direct access to the side-load garage with extra storage and 2018 overhead door. Upstairs, the 20-foot-long primary suite offers a comfortable sitting area, customized walk-in closet and beautiful views. Plantation shutters complement the modern primary bath, featuring marble flooring, soapstone vanity, built-in cabinetry and shelving, and a white tub/shower with stone-finish tile surround and distinctive dark plumbing fixtures. Generous secondary bedrooms offer wonderful natural light, large closets and custom plantation shutters or blinds. The hall bath features slate flooring, granite vanity, espresso-stained cabinetry and stone-finish tile surrounding the tub/shower. And then there's the immense finished basement-bright, spacious and surprisingly versatile, with neutral carpeting, two new windows and an enormous storage area. Create a fitness studio, recreation room, playroom, home office, media space-or simply spread out and enjoy having room for everyone. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with paver walks and a beautiful paver patio overlooking the gardens and natural setting. The 2022 paver patio and stone retaining wall enhance the grounds, while glorious perennial gardens-including spectacular peonies-add seasonal color and beauty. Meticulously cared for, with numerous important improvements including brand new well pump (Sept 2026), new attic insulation (2021), roof (2014), water heater/reverse osmosis system/softener (2017), well tank (2016), & sump pump w/back up. Great District 220 schools. Close to everything you need.
