This stunning home's location and views cannot be beat. Step out to your own serene parklike retreat. You're surrounded by beautiful landscaping and old-growth trees while benefiting from nearby in-town amenities. Walking distance to downtown Glen Ellyn, Wheaton College, and their train stations. Your kids can walk to the library, Hadley Middle School, and the award winning Glenbard West High School. This location features easy access to biking and jogging on the Prairie Path. Two ballfields and a playground are just steps away.**Gorgeous all brick custom home with over 8000 sq ft above ground. 5 bedrooms + 5 full baths + 3 half-baths. Main floor master with hardwood floors and his-and-her walk-in closets.**Natural sunlight abounds in every room and on every floor. 4 separate zones for AC/Heating systems (master, main floor, 2nd floor, basement). Built in 2005 and so pristinely kept by its original owners you'd believe it is still brand new. Masterfully designed with soaring ceilings and windows. Custom woodwork and cabinetry. Bring your family together in the open concept kitchen equipped with a new Bosch dishwasher, Viking gas stove, separate Subzero refrigerator and freezer and GE Monogram double ovens, breakfast nook, and family room. The combined rooms are accented by white-washed pine ceilings and a fireplace that sees-through to the adjoining great room. A fireplace in the foyer creates a warm ambiance for you to greet your guests and continues to delight as you entertain in the dining room. The dining room comes with a pocket door (separating it from the kitchen) which gives privacy to those who convert the dining room into an office. **Catch the morning sunrise or work-at-home from the main level balcony, the lower level patio, the screened-in porch (with brand new screens), or the basement office. Rarely available walk-out-basement completely flanked by a wall of windows (US Energy Star Anderson windows and doors) and a screened-in-porch overlooking your own private oasis. Exceptional basement includes a second kitchen, large office, family room with a stone fireplace, bedroom, jack-and-jill bathroom, workout room, a large open space rec room, and a cold storage room. Lastly, there's a large storage room with steps that lead up to the attached garage. This lower level could function as guest/in-law suite, homeschool, or teenager retreat.**This home checks every box on the list of unchangeables: location, privacy, views, outdoor living, sunlight, walkout lower level.
