About the Listing 4564 - 44186,32868,44186
Nestled on a premium lot in the desirable Academy Woods community, this exceptional home with FIRST FLOOR Primary suite offers the perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and maintenance-free living. Thoughtfully designed to embrace its serene wooded surroundings, the residence is filled with natural light, featuring soaring ceilings and expansive windows that frame picturesque views of the private landscape. Not only has the home been meticulously maintained, but the owners have invested over 200k in improvements and have taken great care to add refined architectural details and quality finishes which are showcased throughout, including installing hardwood flooring, crown molding, recessed lighting, decorative columns, glass replacement in all windows, gorgeous high-end custom window treatments, and extensive landscaping. A dramatic two-story foyer with an open staircase creates a grand first impression and leads into the impressive living room, where vaulted ceilings, a cozy clean burning fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows provide a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. The semi open-concept layout is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, allowing each space to flow seamlessly into the next. A formal dining room offers an elegant setting for hosting guests, while the beautifully appointed kitchen features Birdseye maple cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island, and a suite of recently updated premium appliances, including Sub-Zero, Miele, and KitchenAid. Adjacent to the kitchen, a convenient first-floor laundry and mudroom provides direct access to the attached two-car garage. The striking two-story breakfast area opens to an expansive brick paver patio, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces. Many newly planted trees enhance the yard making you feel truly secluded while enjoying the outdoor space. The large, first floor primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with two walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a bright, versatile loft currently configured as an entertainment area with custom built-in cabinetry for media storage and display. Unfinished basement with 9' ceilings offers ample opportunity for additional living space to suit your needs. Residents of Academy Woods enjoy a premier maintenance-free lifestyle in a unique setting that was once part of the historic J. Ogden Armour Estate. The community offers direct access to the 670-acre Middlefork Savanna, providing miles of trails for walking, biking, cross-country skiing, and birdwatching. Ideally located near Metra, major expressways, shopping, dining, and all the amenities of both Lake Forest and nearby Vernon Hills, this remarkable home combines natural beauty with unmatched convenience. Welcome home!
