Nestled on a wooded acre, overlooking a spectacular ravine, this meticulously maintained, solidly built, 5152 SqFt, 3 bedroom (potential for 5), 2 bath (potential for 3), all brick ranch with open floor-plan and vaulted ceilings will draw you in and make you feel like you are on vacation, year around. This home boasts a gracious great room with vaulted beamed ceilings, skylights, brick fireplace and is completely open to an updated kitchen with granite and stainless steel appliances, a large island, abundant storage, and generously sized dining area. Beyond the living and entertaining spaces, is a split floor-plan, featuring an expansive master suite complete with walk in closet and en-suite bath to the right and to the left are the two additional spacious bedrooms and second bath. In addition, this home features nearly 2600 square feet of completely dry lower level basement area inclusive of two egress windows. The possibilities in this unfinished space are many, depending on the new owner's needs. The space would easily accommodate a large family room, two additional bedrooms (each with egress), or an office, exercise area, an additional bathroom, and plenty of storage. The three car garage (one with an 8'/ taller door) leads to a main floor laundry and mud room. The setting of this well built home is one-of-a-kind, a large front yard encapsulates this property, making it feel very private, while the home overlooks the ravine from a custom paver patio, the expansive lot still allows for a large lawn and perfectly placed bedding areas and, even still, abundant woods between the home and the ravine allowing for additional privacy and natural insulation from the hot summer sun. This property is just 40 minutes to downtown Chicago and convenient to shopping however, from the moment you turn down Jacobs Lane, you will feel very much away from it all. This genuinely lovely retreat also neighbors a forest preserve and equestrian trails. It is difficult to articulate the beauty of this property and home. Offered here is a rarely found, quality, well-built, beautifully maintained, open floor-plan ranch home in a true park-like setting. If you would enjoy the feeling of a vacation home every day, this unique property is for you. It is worth noting that while creating a relaxed and remote feeling, this property and surrounding roads receive some of the best snow removal services in the township.
