Description
Impressive Country Estate on stunning acreage in Mettawa, a bucolic Village nestled between the towns of Libertyville and Lake Forest. The home has a Libertyville mailing address and services, plus is in the Libertyville High School District! Approximately 4500sf pristine and inviting Tudor-Styled home, with acres of gorgeous grounds. It boasts beautiful nature views all around, with patios, gardens, mature trees and landscapes, PLUS a deluxe barn for up to five horses, muitiple grass paddocks, and a dry lot ring - with miles of trails VERY close by! (No horses? Bring the bikes and toys, and barn could be collector car garage, too, with big garage doors on two sides!) The executive country retreat is located directly across from a Lake County Forest Preserve wooded conservancy area for optimal privacy - and is less than a block away from access to miles and miles of groomed trails that wind through hundreds of acres of the Preserve. Ride, bike or hike for hours!...Spacious and gracious, this engaging 4 Bedroom, 3.1 Bath custom home in the country also boasts the added value of an unfinished walk-up 3rd floor - which is windowed and ready to finish for bonus space or more bedrooms/bath, as desired! In addiiton, there is a big higher-ceilinged unfinished basement, with updated mechanicals, wine area, and storage galore. First time available in 34 years, this amazing brick and stucco estate home is maintained superbly inside and out - right down to the impeccable stucco which carries a select renewable warranty. The home offers very large and comfortable rooms and multi-windowed views of the beauties of nature all around!.... Upon entry, a two-story, winding staircase foyer, with stained glass windows, sets the stage for the custom home tour to follow. The first floor features a most handsome library with custom built-ins; a huge family room with stone fireplace and direct access to both the big screened porch and an expansive pergola patio; a formal living room with fireplace and French doors to patio and plenty of room for a Grand Piano; a large and elegantly appointed dining room; a big country kitchen with big breakfast area, stainless appliances, large walk-in pantry, and more. Nearby is a generously-proportioned first floor bedroom with full bath ensuite. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and two baths - including a stunning and immense master bedroom suite, that includes sleeping quarters, a sitting room with fireplace and balcony overlooking the estate, a large double vanity bathroom with separate shower stall and jacuzzi tub, and an expansive walk-in closet, with FURTHER huge closet expansion potential into adjacent large unfinished attic space, now doored and floored. Conveniently, the good-sized laundry room is located upstairs, too, with cabinetry, utility sink and clothes-hanging space....Note that the original acreage of 5 acres was reduced slightly by a land donation to Mettawa; but is thus considered by the Village as a 5-acre-equivalent property with full rights for 5 horses. The small Village of Mettawa prides itself on savvy fiscal management and offers reasonable taxes for the area, with property owners here often enjoying a yearly TAX REBATE - the most recent property tax rebate on this home was several thousand dollars!...An exceptional under-million value unprecedented, and a must-see property for nature lovers, equestrians, outdoor sports enthusiast - and/or anyone who wants to simply get away from it all, enjoy life and recreate in a oasis-like setting that is close to stores, restaurants, schools and transportation - but seemingly so far away from it all! A very special retreat for all seasons and reasons, BOMK as out of-the-chute HS72 contract dd not work out. Opportunity knocks twice!
