Description
Everyday will feel like a vacation when you wake up in this absolutely breathtaking 5 bedroom, 3 1/2 bathroom contemporary style home nestled on an enchanting lake with nearly an acre of land in idyllic Downers Grove! This truly feels like a brand new home having just undergone a recent renovation encompassing nearly every aspect of the property including an updated gourmet kitchen, luxury vinyl plank flooring and fresh paint throughout, thick bright white trim around all the windows, floors, and doors, two modernized fireplaces with floor to ceiling shiplap accents, and custom plantation style shutters. The vaulted, cathedral style ceilings with exposed wood beams combined with an open floor plan gives this home an unmistakable modern feel while large, tall windows provide an extraordinarily stunning view and an abundance of natural light when paired with multiple skylights throughout. The awe-inspiring chefs kitchen features timeless white cabinetry with a subway tile backsplash, gorgeous quartz countertops, high-end stainless steel G/E Cafe appliances, a large center island with room for seating, a touchless kitchen faucet, recessed lighting, and plenty of counter space. The central dining room is the perfect space to entertain guests or host the holidays and features a cozy see through fireplace. Unwind after a long day or enjoy your morning cup of coffee in your comfortable family room with a second fireplace and a view that would make even The Hamptons jealous! The main level also features a desirable first floor bedroom, which can alternatively be used as a convenient office space or playroom, as well as a powder room so guests won't need to traipse upstairs to use the restroom. The floating staircase leads up to a spacious master bedroom featuring an accentuated trey ceiling, balcony overlooking the beautiful lake, and an en suite master bathroom complete with dual sink vanity, whirlpool tub, step-in shower, skylights, and a huge walk-in closet with its own separate washer and dryer. Upstairs you will also find a second full bathroom as well as the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th bedrooms which are also a great size with plenty of closet space and the 2nd bedroom even features an additional loft area with skylight. From the main floor head down the shiplap accented staircase to the finished walk-out basement with a second family room, a recreation room perfect for an at home gym, a third full bathroom, a second laundry room, and a large storage space with its own exterior access. The backyard of this home is truly a sight to behold! Step outside to your own secluded oasis featuring an inground swimming pool surrounded by a new wrought iron fence, your own private pier with water rights to the lake, a storage shed with electricity, an irrigation system, and an enormous, newly constructed, multi-level deck that extends the entire length of the home and is mostly covered by an extension of the roofline complete with cedar highlights and RGB remote outdoor lights! Other exterior improvements include all new low maintenance vinyl siding on the entire home, 2 brand new AC units, 2 brand new water heaters, all new pump and filtration system for the pool, and a newly covered front porch. The attached 2 car heated garage means no fuss with snowy cars come winter time. Garage heater is also brand new! The extended driveway is re-sealed every year and provides a ton of additional room to park for large get-togethers. This home is perfect for those who like to stay active during the cold winter months on the lake with ice fishing, ice skating, and ice hockey while the warm summer months provide an opportunity for canoeing, kayaking, more fishing, and even boating with a trolling motor. The Bruce Lakes HOA also provides year round planned community events including a 4th of July parade and access to a private park with sand beach, picnic facilities and a playground for the enjoyment of the residents. They even stock the lake each year with fish!
