5017 Chestnut Grove Dr., Champaign, IL 61822

This home was meticulously custom-built for the current owners on a prime interior cul-de-sac lot with recently installed irrigation system, and featuring an oversize backyard. A two-story entry opens into the front office/flex room, the formal dining room, and the family room. Every inch of the first floor features hard flooring surfaces, with ceramic tile in the kitchen and bamboo flooring in all other rooms, along with in the master bedroom upstairs. The owners significantly expanded the wide-open living space where the family room flows seamlessly into the breakfast area and the kitchen, all under nine-foot ceilings with 7 windows plus the sliding glass door providing views of the backyard and filling the space with excellent natural light. The kitchen offers granite counters, upscale stainless steel appliances, double-ovens, and pantry. The finished basement offers upgraded 9-foot ceilings and exceptional natural light, thanks to a trio of windows and an upgraded stone retaining wall window well. The lower level offers hundreds of square feet of living/theater/gaming space--complete with upgraded light-blocking window treatments for theater viewing--a 5th bedroom, and a 3rd full bath, along with generous unfinished storage space. The 2nd floor master suite features three windows, tray ceiling with crown molding, and a luxurious master bath with custom tile shower with obscured glass and separate corner whirlpool tub. Other highlights include Pella windows and doors, 3-zone HVAC for independent temperature control of each floor, whole-house audio (and lower level 7.1 home theater) wiring, 2x6 exterior walls, and high efficiency HVAC.
