Escape to your own private retreat! Nestled on over a half-acre and backing directly to the beautiful Grant Woods Forest Preserve, this custom 3-bedroom, 2-bath log home offers breathtaking views, exceptional privacy, and timeless rustic charm. Enjoy your morning coffee or unwind at sunset from the inviting wraparound porch, where nature becomes your backyard. The exterior was freshly painted in 2025 and enhanced with attractive landscape lighting beneath the fascia.  Inside, you'll find soaring ceilings, hardwood floors throughout most of the main living areas, solid oak doors, neutral decor, and an abundance of natural light streaming through Pella sliding doors, skylights, and oversized picture windows that showcase the surrounding forest preserve.  The spacious kitchen features 42-inch maple cabinetry, a center island, and a bright eating area perfect for everyday living and entertaining. At the heart of the home, the dramatic great room boasts a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with gas logs (easily convertible back to wood-burning) and spectacular views of the preserve.  An open oak staircase leads to the loft-style primary suite, complete with hardwood floors, a generous walk-in closet, and a private bath featuring a whirlpool soaking tub-the perfect place to relax after a long day.  Need additional space? The full unfinished basement offers endless possibilities for future living space, a workshop, or abundant storage. Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will appreciate the heated 3-car garage, accessible from two separate driveways.  Built in 2004 and many interior updates were made in 2016, this meticulously maintained home has been lovingly cared for by its original owner. The roof is about 10 years old, and the HVAC was replaced 2 years ago. Combining the warmth and character of authentic log home living with the modern features today's buyers desire, this is a truly special property in an unforgettable setting. Welcome Home!
