Description
Sophistication is found in the heart of east Glencoe in this inspired, recently fully renovated home by two architect owners. An expansive curving corner lot provides privacy and the ideal setting that brings this house to life. Contemporary artistic style and a comfortable sensibility are evident in every detail of this five bedroom, four and a half bath modern marvel. New rooms have been created, some rearranged, and new space discovered resulting in a fresh, open, sunlit haven in a coveted location. The entry foyer, with its coffered ceiling, inlaid marble floor, and gracious custom staircase opens to a dramatic Living Room with a soaring wood beamed ceiling, new travertine marble fireplace, and new wide french doors that open south to a private English "knot garden". Wide plank white oak floors anchor the rooms throughout the house. The Dining Room will be an elegant place to celebrate holidays with its custom paneled ceiling and walls. The east side of the house accommodates the open Kitchen, Family Room, and breakfast area. Sleek lines of modern custom cabinets, high end appliances, quartzite counters and a wall of french doors set the tone for this expansive space where the morning sun shines bright. There is also a marble fireplace, seating area, and access to a lovely sunny patio and large private yard. Adjacent to this area is an enviable rich-hued Library with marble fireplace surrounded by custom paneling, built-in bookcases, and a view of the east lawn. A key feature of the renovation was raising the ceiling heights on the second floor to over nine feet. A gracious Primary Suite with seating area includes a luxurious marble bath with double sinks, separate tub and shower, skylight, and heated floors. Two walk-in closets provide ample room for a large wardrobe... with lots of room for shoes! The well-appointed bedroom has three exposures and is anchored by a wall of rich silk wallpaper; it is bright, serene, and spacious. Three additional bedrooms each have special features; one overlooks the front lawn and is currently used as an office, an enviable spot to work from. Another bedroom has an ensuite bath, and the fourth bedroom has a secret door that opens to a surprise tandem room that can be used as a playroom, homework spot, or a teenage lounge. Adding to the informal space of the house, the lower level has been attentively finished with modern style with plentiful natural light. A Recreation Room, Kitchenette, Exercise Room, a Guest Bedroom and designer full bath are found here. There are so many extra special features of this house, it's truly a MUST SEE. Some of the additional features include a stunning powder room, a first floor laundry and Mudroom, "pocket gates" to confine toddlers or pets, a second laundry upstairs, all new windows and doors, new roof, new two zoned heating and central air conditioning, electric car charger, generator, sump pump with back-up, security system, fenced in backyard and lawn sprinklers. All of this in a remarkably hospitable location that is a short walk to the village shops, train, and Lake Michigan. Available furnished.
