Available on the market for the first time, this custom French Manor-style residence was built in 2017 by the current owners for themselves and showcases exceptional craftsmanship throughout. Set on a sunny corner lot in a tree-lined setting, the home is ideally positioned near Riverside Park and the Des Plaines River Trail, with direct access to Lake Minear just a 2-mile bike ride away. The home's architecture reflects the classic residential traditions of Chicago's North Shore to evoke a sense of permanence and timeless European elegance. The level of detail and care the owners put into the creation of this home becomes evident in details such as arched doorways, tall ceilings, and wainscoting. The floor plan was intentionally designed for modern family living, with the great room, chef's kitchen, formal dining, and casual dining spaces all connected in a seamless flow. The light-filled kitchen is centered around a large island and features two sinks, a six-burner range, double ovens, microwave, a walk-in pantry, and cabinetry extending to the ceiling. Sliders lead out to the rear patio, for easy entertaining. Upstairs, the retreat-like primary suite is adorned with a tray ceiling, a generous walk-in closet, and a spa-worthy bath with dual vanities, a large walk-in shower, and a modern clawfoot soaking tub. Bedrooms two and three on this level share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while a fourth bedroom enjoys its own ensuite. The finished lower level offers a versatile space that can serve as a recreation room, game room, or second family room, with a full bath, separate hidden playroom, and plenty of unfinished storage and mechanical space. Additional features include a detached 2-car garage, fenced-in yard, laundry room, mudroom with built-in cubbies, and a powder bath on the main level. All of this is ideally situated near downtown Libertyville, just one block from Copeland Manor Elementary School and moments from neighborhood parks, with Libertyville High School located only 1.5 miles away. A rare opportunity to own a truly custom home, built with the enduring craftsmanship and care of its original owners, in a coveted close-to-everything location.
