Exceptional & extraordinary … home, setting and unique design – this spectacular cedar and shake-roof contemporary with over 5000 square feet is tucked onto a serene near-acre site with an adjacent forest preserve in East Northbrook. Truly one-of-a-kind, this incredible home for all seasons features abundant windows and great views. A massive Great Room combines living and dining functions in space suited to grand affairs. A master-crafted dining buffet provides function and feature into one stunning unit that lets light flow from the adjoining family room. Amazing front-to-back views appear the moment you step inside. At the back of the main level, the family room complete with its vaulted ceiling and access to the cathedral-ceiling screen porch, boasts multiple sets of sliding doors and windows opening out to and overlooking the patio and lush large fenced yard. The adjacent gourmet island kitchen and breakfast area are exquisite with custom-made cabinetry, granite counters, breakfast bar, vaulted ceilings, skylight, walk-in pantry and unique radius wall of cabinets and counters – truly a kitchen with all the bells and whistles! One hallway leads to the family bedroom wing complete with three family bedrooms and a hall bath with skylight. One bedroom features its own full bath making it ideal for guests as well and another has a secret room hidden above that can be accessed from pull-down stairs – a sure delight for children and teens. A second hallway leads to the romantic master bedroom suite. High ceilings, a Vermont Stove, two walk-in closets, a private patio accessed from sliding glass doors and a grand spa bath with marble finishes, whirlpool tub, dual sinks and separate shower make this a retreat of genuine appeal! Down a few steps from the master suite is the library-office, an incredible treasure of customized built in cabinet-quality furnishings compromising two enviable work stations. Sliding door access leads to the yard and French doors open from the library to a huge game room also accessible from the hallway. The game room additionally opens from sliders out to the yard and features a raised hearth fireplace and full stairway to a second floor in-home fitness center of massive proportions! Add to this level, a laundry room and full bath complete with its own whirlpool tub and steam shower! Rounding out the great features of this four-bedroom, four-bath contemporary dream is a full finished basement with lovely recreation room, a heated 3-car attached garage, gorgeous oak floors and an abundance of canned lighting.
