1811 Stoddard Ave., Wheaton, IL 60187

This brilliantly designed newer home with contemporary yet organic flair sits on a 300 ft. lot surrounded by mature trees, and situated on a quiet street. Created thoughtfully by its architect/owner, this home features a 1st Floor Master Suite, and an open concept Great Room/Kitchen/Dining Room wrapped with windows and light. The Kitchen is the star of the home with a long island overlooking the living area boasting 3 wall ovens, induction cooktop, granite counters, and built in buffet with wine refrigerator. A stone fireplace separates the Dining Room from the Living area; another smaller eating area is nearby. Off the Kitchen is a walk-in pantry adjoining a Mud Room/Laundry area, acting as a buffer between the garage and home. The Master Bedroom suite provides nice views of the back yard, offering dual closets and a dreamy spa bath with large walk-in shower. Upstairs add 3 more bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, walk-in closets, and 2 more baths. The deep-pour basement with above ground windows offers abundant natural light into the Family Room, Bedroom 5/Office plus full bath. Outside, a lush lawn, deck and brick paver patio with firepit allows for a great entertaining area; conversely, the private front porch is perfect for a quiet cup of coffee in the morning. Super tall ceilings in the garage are ideal for installing a car lift, canoes or kayaks. This is an amazing custom home that balances the open style living with needed separate spaces; its private surroundings makes it a haven. Note that taxes are low due to being in an unincorporated area, but this house has Lake Michigan water and public sewer.
