Description
Set at the end of a private road in one of the area's most exclusive hidden pockets, this extraordinary estate offers a lifestyle that few ever discover. It's the kind of place you could drive past a hundred times and never realize exists-a rare blend of towering oak groves, open pasture, and a gorgeous winding creek that feels worlds away, yet is only a handful of turns from Randall Road, Downtown St. Charles, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. Spanning approximately 4 breathtaking acres, this truly one-of-a-kind property combines exceptional privacy with remarkable accessibility. The impeccably maintained residence offers just over 4,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, plus a finished basement, showcasing quality craftsmanship and generous spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious primary suite serves as a private retreat with an oversized walk-in closet and luxurious ensuite bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and separate shower. The entire third floor is dedicated to a private bedroom and full bath ideal for guests, an in-law arrangement, or a teenager's own retreat. Designed to embrace its spectacular surroundings, the light-filled sunroom opens to a two-tier deck overlooking the picturesque landscape. The expansive eat-in kitchen flows into the inviting family room with a gas fireplace, while the finished basement is an entertainer's dream with a spacious recreation room, second gas fireplace, wet bar, and full kitchen. Hardwood flooring extends throughout most of the main level, and quality Pella windows enhance comfort and efficiency throughout. Outside, a charming playhouse/"she-shed"/potting room is tucked beneath the mature oak grove, while the property's gorgeous creek and rolling pasture create an idyllic backdrop rarely found this close to town. Beyond its beauty, the property offers exceptional upside. Approximately two acres of the pasture north of the home may be suitable for subdivision (subject to approvals), presenting a rare opportunity to create immediate value or construct a custom estate home, barn, equestrian facilities, or additional outbuildings. Located within highly acclaimed School District 301, this is a property that simply cannot be duplicated-a private countryside estate offering unmatched natural beauty, enduring quality, and extraordinary potential just minutes from everything that makes the Fox Valley so desirable.
