Description
This private estate sits on 5 wooded acres of complete seclusion within a historic equestrian community, all in the highly sought-after ST. CHARLES SCHOOL DISTRICT. Limestone, cedar shake, and ivy-covered walls give the residence a timeless, European-inspired presence, framed by manicured gardens and flagstone walkways. Offering over 11,000 square feet of finished living space, 5 bedrooms, 6 full and 2 half bathrooms, 4 fireplaces, a FIRST FLOOR PRIMARY SUITE, and an EXPANSIVE SECOND-FLOOR SUITE with its own private living room, the home is equally suited to refined everyday living and grand-scale entertaining. Recent fresh neutral paint makes it truly move-in ready. A locally crafted alder front door with hand-forged iron detail opens to a grand foyer with a sweeping curved staircase and second-floor overlook. Exceptional millwork is showcased throughout, with custom built-ins in nearly every room. The main level offers a private office with stone fireplace, an elegant columned living and music room, and a formal dining room beneath a coffered ceiling. The great room impresses with a soaring beamed ceiling, wet bar, fireplace, and direct access to the pool. The sunroom also opens to the pool and includes a convenient cabana bathroom. The chef's kitchen is appointed with a Viking 6-burner range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, generous island, and eating area, complemented by a butler's pantry and walk-in pantry. The first floor primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a fireplace, sitting area, two spacious closets, and a spa-inspired bathroom with heated floors, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. Upstairs, the generously sized second suite offers primary-level comfort with a separate living room, ensuite bath, and walk-in closet, providing flexibility for buyers who prefer their main bedroom upstairs or want a luxurious space for extended family. The three additional bedrooms each enjoy their own ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. A loft library overlooks the grounds. The English walk-out lower level extends the living space with a full kitchenette bar, game area, two recreation rooms, exercise and craft rooms, fireplace, and a full bathroom with steam shower. Outdoors, mature trees frame a flagstone patio and a stunning black-bottom saltwater pool with diving board and hot tub. The stone and cedar screened gazebo offers the perfect setting for summer evenings. The heated 4-car garage provides direct access to the lower level. Additional features include three HVAC systems, a whole-house generator, water treatment system, and backup sump pump. Craftsmanship of this caliber is rarely found today. To build this level of quality now would be a much greater undertaking, in both time and cost. Casual elegance and remarkable quality at every turn.
