BRAND NEW RENOVATION by Award-Winning SLOANE HOMES, this gorgeous French Country House is located on a breathtaking almost 1/2 ACRE RAVINE setting on one of EAST HIGHLAND PARK'S MOST DESIRABLE STREETS! Enjoy the feeling of living in new construction, surrounded by luxurious DESIGNER FINISHES, without compromising the unique ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS of the archways, mouldings, balconies, and windows created by S.S. Beman, a disciple of the famed DAVID ADLER. This rare 5-BEDROOM, 3.2 BATH property, set back from the quiet street by its circular tumbled-brick driveway, is filled with light and views to the lush surroundings. Be welcomed into the dramatic MARBLE FOYER with its winding Grand Staircase, exceptional scalloped ceiling, remarkable vintage light fixture, and fanciful POWDER ROOM with original leaded glass window. Then, take two steps up to the large Center Hall, opening to gracious rooms for comfortable daily living and fine entertaining. Settle into the generous FAMILY ROOM with its statement marble fireplace, bay windows and French doors leading out to two Bluestone Patios and a beautiful yard. Relax or work in the serene, paneled LIBRARY/HOME OFFICE that features one of FOUR FIREPLACES in this extraordinary home. Awaken in the bright, cozy BREAKFAST ROOM, opening to the all-new, sunlit CHEF'S KITCHEN with Custom Cabinets, Thermador appliances, Wine Fridge, an Island with Quartz Waterfall Countertops, plus two Pantries. Off the Kitchen, through charming French Doors, savor breathtaking ravine views from the DINING ROOM which, if you prefer, could serve as a FAMILY ROOM or PLAYROOM, with doors to the private, freshly sodded backyard and two Bluestone Patios. From the 2-car garage, enter the newly created brick-walled MUDROOM with two Closets that lead to the barn-door enclosed LAUNDRY ROOM & bay-windowed OFFICE/HOMEWORK AREA. Be awed by the Main Level's BRAND NEW 5" wide OAK HARDWOOD FLOORS and the all NEW FLOORING on the 2nd & Lower Levels. Then, climb the staircase to your Private Retreat: The OVERSIZED PRIMARY BEDROOM SUITE with Marble Fireplace, French Doors leading to the ravine-overlooking BALCONY, and the luxurious MARBLE EN-SUITE SPA BATHROOM offering a DOUBLE SHOWER with Rain Head, SOAKING TUB, custom-fluted DOUBLE VANITY & separate WATER CLOSET. The large WALK-IN CLOSET and additional WIC/PELOTON/OFFICE space complete this thoughtful redesign. Down the Hall, FOUR ADDITIONAL BEDROOMS beckon, offering ample options for sleeping rooms as well as alternate PLAYROOM, EXERCISE & HOME OFFICE locations. Two Bedrooms share a Jack & Jill double-vanity Bathroom with separate Water Closet & Tub. The other two Bedrooms share the Hall Bath with tub/shower. The upstairs Laundry Closet with hookups allows for a secondary washer & dryer, if you wish. The LOWER LEVEL provides a large RECREATION/EXERCISE ROOM with Fireplace, Wet Bar & WINE CELLAR, as well as huge Storage & Craft/Workshop spaces. As you settle into your fabulous new home, have peace of mind with the FULL-HOUSE GENERATOR & IRRIGATION SYSTEM, as well as new plumbing fixtures through out. What makes this property even more special is its CONVENIENT LOCATION: Walk to DOWNTOWN RAVINIA'S VIBRANT RESTAURANTS, SCHOOL, RAVINIA FESTIVAL, TRAIN, ROSEWOOD BEACH, THE GREENBAY TRAIL, FARMER'S MARKET WEDNESDAYS & FOOD TRUCK THURSDAYS, CHICAGO BOTANIC GARDENS & PARKS!
