About This Property
Nestled on 3 breathtaking acres of lush grounds and whimsical
gardens, this impeccable Grand English Tudor Estate offers over
12,000 square feet of masterfully crafted living space. Conceived
by engineer Ted Reitenbach and designed by the talented Barbara
Grzelczyk, this magnificent home took three years for skilled
craftsmen and artisans to create - built like no other here every
detail bears witness to that devotion. A private gated entry leads
to a stunning paver brick driveway with adjoining walkways and
manicured gardens professionally designed, setting a grand tone
before you even step inside. Step through grand 8 foot cherry
wood cathedral doors into an opulent limestone foyer crowned by a
breathtaking 250-pound antique chandelier with a built-in elevator
mechanism for effortless elegance. Antique leaded glass windows
with built-in blinds grace every first-floor window, while Pella
windows with interior shades adorn the upper levels. Every hardware
piece was handmade in Lithuania, and Perure hinges were selected
for their unmatched Old World craftsmanship. The remaining
chandeliers throughout are irreplaceable one-of-a-kind antique
pieces that cannot be found or replicated, each adding timeless
distinction to every space they illuminate. The formal dining
room stuns with a hand-carved plaster ceiling and artisan-crafted
leaded windows bathing the space in natural light. The
distinguished library features soaring cathedral ceilings,
custom-crafted light fixtures, and built-in cabinetry with grand
mesh doors. The family room soars with 20-foot ceilings, 14
expansive windows, irreplaceable antique chandeliers, a majestic
Chicago fire brick fireplace, and a dramatic second-story balcony
overlook. Antique solid wide white oak floors flow beautifully
throughout. Five magnificent fireplaces, every one crafted with
authentic Chicago fire bricks, grace this extraordinary estate.
