Description
Tucked into the highly sought-after historic West Urbana area just moments from the University of Illinois, this architecturally designed prairie-style residence offers a rare blend of timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship, and a private garden retreat unlike anything else on the market. Surrounded by mature landscaping and positioned across from university-owned green space, this hidden sanctuary offers peaceful, nature-filled living with remarkable proximity to campus, the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, Research Park, parks, shopping, dining, bike paths, and strong transit access. A dramatic two-story great room anchors the home with soaring ceilings, impressive architectural columns, hardwood flooring, walls of windows, built-in cabinetry, and a striking fireplace focal wall overlooking the captivating backyard gardens and pond. Natural light pours throughout the home, highlighting the extraordinary craftsmanship, thoughtfully designed living spaces, and custom stained glass details featured in the great room, primary bedroom, and primary bath. A built-in aquarium creates a unique artistic centerpiece in the living room, while the dining room is enhanced by a stunning designer light fixture. Custom wood blinds throughout the kitchen, dining room, great room, and all three bedrooms add warmth and architectural character and will remain with the home. The custom oak kitchen, designed for gathering and everyday living, features a center island with seating, abundant cabinetry, appliances approximately five years old, and custom wood blinds that complement the home's timeless design. Just beyond, a vaulted addition opens beautifully to the outdoor retreat. Professionally designed landscaping, a fish pond, patio spaces, and lush greenery create an incredible setting ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The first-floor primary suite has private access to the side deck and a spa-inspired bath complete with dual vanities, soaking tub, walk-in shower, private water closet, generous walk-in closet, direct access to the laundry room with additional storage. Upstairs, a breathtaking stained glass window welcomes you to an extraordinary library and sitting area overlooking the great room below, framing peaceful views through the expansive windows. Two private bedroom suites anchor each end of the second floor, each offering walk-in closets, built-in desk areas, private baths with corner showers, and custom wood blinds that continue the home's cohesive architectural design. Additional highlights include Pella windows, a covered side portico, an oversized two-car garage with pull-down attic access and built-in storage. A new roof was installed in 2017, along with fully owned solar panels that provide long-term energy efficiency with no lease obligations. Since the solar panels were installed, the sellers have saved approximately $20,421 on utility costs. The furnace and air conditioner were both replaced approximately one year ago, providing added peace of mind for future owners. This is more than a home, it's a private retreat at the edge of campus, offering sophisticated design, serene outdoor living, and an unmatched West Urbana lifestyle.
