Description

Majestic in presence and exceptional in versatility, this stunning custom Colonial offers a beautiful blend of timeless architecture, gracious living, and flexibility on a private homesite just shy of two acres. With 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, an attached 3-car garage, a finished basement, and an incredible 6-car outbuilding, this stately residence offers estate-style living with room for every generation, passion, and possibility. The home's generous proportions, flexible living areas, and inviting indoor-outdoor spaces create a setting equally suited to everyday comfort and memorable entertaining. From the moment you arrive, the home's distinguished curb appeal, grand columned entrance, and newly refreshed Trex front porch set the tone. The impressive foyer features two closets and a gracefully curved staircase, while gleaming hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and generously proportioned rooms create warmth and sophistication. A handsome den or library features custom built-ins, glass French doors, and an exquisite imported Italian marble fireplace, creating a retreat for reading, working, or quiet reflection. The living room features a second striking marble-surround fireplace, while the formal dining room is ideal for holiday celebrations and entertaining. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen offers abundant custom cabinetry, an expansive center island with sink, a separate vegetable sink, tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. A thoughtfully positioned step-down laundry room features a charming custom doggie apartment and convenient access to the main-level primary suite. This private suite offers an exceptional arrangement for multigenerational living, extended stays, or a first-floor retreat. A separate entrance into the suite's private quarters enhances its sense of independence. Upstairs, the spacious primary retreat offers two walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath featuring an oversized jetted soaking tub. Three additional generously sized bedrooms and a full hallway bath complete the upper level, providing ample room for family and guests. An extraordinary three-season room extends the living experience outdoors, overlooking the peaceful acreage. With an electric heater and direct basement access, this inviting space is ideal for morning coffee, afternoon relaxation, or enjoying the tranquil surroundings. The finished basement adds versatility, featuring a full bathroom, a wood-burning fireplace framed by beautiful flagstone, a dedicated theater room, and substantial storage. This expansive lower level can serve as a recreation retreat, entertainment destination, fitness area, or additional gathering space. The property offers meaningful updates, including two HVAC systems, a whole-house generator, a water heater replaced in 2024, updated plumbing, and a replaced sewer line. The roof and windows were completed in 2010. The home is serviced by a private well and public sewer-not septic-with the potential to convert to Village water, subject to municipal requirements. The enormous six-car outbuilding offers possibilities ranging from a collector's dream garage or storage for boats, campers, and recreational vehicles to a workshop, business headquarters, office, creative studio, or multi-use space with loft potential. This type of structure is no longer permitted to be built in Flossmoor under current Village regulations, making it a distinctive opportunity for the next owner to explore, preserve, and personalize. The grounds offer privacy and space, backing directly to Pheasant Trails Park and its basketball courts. Enjoy a secluded-estate feel while remaining close to the Metra, shopping, dining, entertainment, and Flossmoor amenities. Grand in scale, rich in character, and remarkable in versatility, this is more than a home-it is an estate designed to accommodate the way you live today while offering extraordinary possibilities for generation to come!
