What a rare opportunity to purchase one of the most well-built custom homes in McLean County! An ENTERTAINER'S DREAM! Grace, Charm, Character, Functionality. It feels purpose-built for a beautiful life.  Custom built and lovingly kept by the original owners for 32 years, 9030 Hardesty Run is built like a fortress! It feels like home, but also feels like a retreat. Set high on a .79-acre corner lot, the home looks out over a fully stocked lake from a series of outdoor rooms: A storybook covered front porch, sun deck off the vaulted sunroom, covered walkout patio, brick paver terrace, fire pit, a rose garden, shed, and a granite-topped grill station. And that's just the OUTDOOR living space!  Inside, the custom millwork sets a refined tone with the most beautiful custom woodwork details: Built- ins, ceiling-height cabinetry, pocket doors, deep casings, and rich hardwoods. The foyer is flanked by a gorgeous office with custom coffered wood ceiling and a formal dining. The kitchen is a Chef's DREAM COME TRUE! All stainless appliances include: Viking fridge, built-in Advantium convection oven & microwave with steam feature, custom ice maker, double Fischer Paykel dishwasher,  commercial grade Fischer Paykel DCS commercial grade gas cooktop with grill, hood, built-in pantry, THREE sinks, separate wine & coffee bars, granite counters with a butcher-block island extension.  The large main-level family room (wood fireplace w/gas start) flows to the vaulted sunroom via 2 sets of glass french doors. A wall of built-ins links kitchen to garage; the separate laundry/mudroom adds bench seating, Quartz counters, pull-outs (incl. trash), built-in ironing board, and dual hanging racks.    The primary suite reads like a spa-dual custom closets with pocket doors; honed-granite double vanity with hidden outlets; discreet medicine cabinets; custom cabinetry, steamer shower (heated light just outside); HEATED Kohler jetted tub with neck/back jets and chromotherapy; **motorized blinds** here-and custom blinds throughout-convey (curtains excluded; hardware stays).  The second full bath on the main level has an American Standard cast iron steeping tub. Upstairs: Three oversized bedrooms, a generous loft, a bath with soaking tub, separate shower, and double vanity; two unfinished rooms await your ideas- great for seasonal decor. The walkout lower level echoes an elegant pub with daylight lake views: Enormous family/rec room with gas fireplace, built-ins, wet bar, kitchenette with dishwasher & fridge. The basement also includes a huge flex room, a full bath, storage/mechanical room & 2nd office. Oversized 2.5 car garage with pull-down stairs to a floored attic; room to add a third stall, though a mature cypress-kept by design-enhances the landscape.
