Seated at the top of a stunning wooded lot in sought-after Farmington of Kildeer, this lovely California ranch boasts a distinctive New Mexican flair. A gorgeous paver driveway leads to a covered brick entrance with a hand-carved door. Authentic Mexican tile, hand carved solid wood doors, and beamed cathedral ceilings set the tone for this unique and fantastic home. The beautiful spacious kitchen is defined by a round island with a second sink and an abundance of cabinetry, never-ending counter space and two electric cooktops accented with exquisite tile.  Three fireplaces grace this home, with one in the great room, one in the kitchen and one in the lower level. An atrium with greenery and flowers, as well as a large skylight provides a bridge from the hallway to the primary bath.   Hand trolled plaster walls and ceilings and architectural Pella windows and doors, are just a few attributes that make this property so special. Bedrooms are generous from the primary to the secondary and tertiary rooms. The large office/laundry flex room could be converted to the fourth bedroom, as was originally intended. The spacious above-ground basement boasts plenty of space for games and activities, relaxation, and storage. A large cedar closet was originally designed to be a bathroom and as such, contains a plumbing rough-in. Absolutely one of the most special homes in the N/NW burbs of Chicagoland!
