1012 Forestview Dr., Mahomet, IL 61853

This rare hillside contemporary raised ranch features 2,863 finished square feet, including walk-out lower level that opens onto the pool deck and fenced backyard that is part of a more than 2-acre lot. The location in the coveted Park Hills Subdivision offers mature trees, low township taxes, and easy access to Lake of the Woods County Forest Preserve. The custom gunite pool with high efficiency heat pump was installed in 2012. Inside, the L-shaped great room features cathedral ceilings, gas log fireplace with massive masonry hearth and surround, full length windows with southern and western exposure, and custom 3/4" red oak flooring that the owners installed in 2014. The kitchen underwent a dramatic full remodel and expansion in 2016, featuring solid maple soft-close cabinets and drawers, spectacular lighting, stainless steel appliances, and granite. The kitchen is open to a family room that could easily be used for informal dining, featuring a wood-burning fireplace. There are three bedrooms & two full baths on the main level. The lower level offers a 4th bedroom, 3rd full bath, a gas log fireplace, and hundreds more square feet of finished space that's perfect for gaming, media room, or a family room. Nearly all windows feature idyllic park-like views, overlooking the oversized lot. Other highlights include new high efficiency furnace and a/c in 2017, and the roof was replaced in 2009 with a new 1st layer.
