Property Description

Welcome to your own slice of French elegance nestled in the heart of Sauganash on a large corner lot. This meticulously renovated French Normandy house seamlessly blends classic charm with modern convenience, offering a retreat-like atmosphere in a highly desirable location. During the renovation no detail was overlooked as all the wood floors and windows were replaced. As you step through the charming arched doorway, you're greeted by a sense of sophistication and warmth. The main level boasts an open-concept floor plan, ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. The spacious living room features a cozy fireplace, perfect for relaxing evenings with loved ones. French doors lead to a charming covered sitting area, where stately columns gracefully frame the space, perfect for your morning coffee. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight, with custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and two large center islands that serves as the focal point for gatherings. Adjacent to the kitchen is the elegant dining room, lounge room and a built-in bench eating area. The expansive space can accommodate large groups for memorable dinner parties or casual brunches with ease. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite awaits, offering a peaceful sanctuary with a spa-like ensuite bathroom, laundry and two walk in closets with custom organizers. Three additional bedrooms and two additional full bathrooms provide flexibility for guests or a home office. The fully finished basement includes a custom wine cellar room, family room that includes a built in bar great for entertaining, an additional bedroom, workout room or office, full bathroom, and large laundry and mechanical room with addtional storage. Under the new kitchen addition is a finished crawl space providing expansive storage options. Outside, a deck with grill overlooks the meticulously landscaped yard, where you can enjoy al fresco dining or simply unwind and relax by the koi pond. An attached 2 car garage provides easy access at all times. Located in the sought-after Sauganash neighborhood, this home offers the perfect blend of suburban tranquility and urban convenience. Enjoy easy access to nearby parks, schools, and a variety of shopping and dining options. With downtown Chicago just a short commute away, you'll have the best of both worlds at your fingertips.
