This wonderful house features over 5000 sq ft of flexible, light-filled living space and a .83 acre lot overlooking the Blackwell forest preserve, close to Cantigny - yet with easy access to Rts 59, 38 and interstates 88 and 355.  Built in 1992, this house brick beauty with shake shingle roof is impressive from the start, with a layout that is perfect for both entertaining & extended family living. The front entry greets you with an impressive marble-floored foyer & a curved banister staircase to the second floor. From here you can access the formal living room to the left, an office area & 1/2 bath to the right, and straight ahead into a dramatic 2-story family room with a fantastic stone fireplace and access doors to the back deck and large yard with room to roam. Step down into a large sun room to the south or access the kitchen area & second staircase to the North. The large gourmet kitchen features an island & a breakfast bar, stainless appliances including a wine fridge, and access to an impressive butler's pantry w/2nd full refrigerator. From here, enter the formal dining room or laundry room w/exit to the 3-car garage.  Back in the kitchen, the adjoining eating area & sitting room have a second fireplace & access to another 1/2 bath near the side entrance out to a brick patio. Off this area you can also access the large 1st floor bedroom suite at the back of the house, which is ideal as a primary suite - or for guests or extended family living. It has an exceptional bathroom w/double vanities, walk-in closet, and both a walk-in shower and whirlpool tub.  Heading upstairs, you will find an impressive 2nd floor primary suite outfitted similarly to the first floor, a 2nd bedroom with en-suite bath, and two additional bedrooms that share a hall bath. There are views here to the first floor and 2 floors of windows which bathe the house in light. With a total of 5 bedrooms and 4 full + 2 half baths, the options here are extraordinary!  A large basement exists for storage or possible expansion. Priced for your updates, but marvelously maintained.  This is your opportunity to put your personal touches on this dream home. Come fall in love!
