Luxury extends beyond aesthetics with exceptional amenities including a heated driveway, heated garage floors, and radiant heated flooring in both the primary suite and lower level, ensuring year-round comfort. The attached four-car garage provides abundant storage and convenience, while countless custom built-ins and meticulously crafted finishes speak to the uncompromising quality found throughout the home. The backyard is equally extraordinary. Set on one of Arlington Heights' premier homesites, the professionally landscaped grounds feature an expansive paver patio with beautiful stone retaining walls, mature trees, and a regulation-size full basketball court-a truly rare amenity that transforms the property into a private retreat for recreation and entertaining alike. Perfectly positioned in Arlington Heights' coveted HANA District, this iconic residence sits directly along the beloved Fourth of July Parade route, placing you at the heart of one of the community's most treasured traditions. Enjoy an easy stroll to the vibrant downtown filled with award-winning restaurants, boutique shopping, coffee houses, the Metra station, parks, and year-round community events.
