Inspired by America's greatest architect, FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT, this BRICK RANCH HOME allows natural light to flood your home through floor-to-ceiling windows in each room & area. You'll enjoy the privacy, serenity, beauty, & fabulous views from the HIGH ELEVATION (30 ft above Bow Lane, 10 ft above Meadow Hill) & the 125 evergreens that are 75-ft tall along the perimeter of your 5 acres... Look at all 25 PHOTOS of the land, trees, home, and floor plans & you'll understand why you'll always feel joy as the owner. If you liked the photos, the DETAILED INFORMATION below will excite you ... When you enter your long private driveway protected by the custom-made iron gates that replicate Wright's gates, you'll feel justifiably proud of your accomplishments & your property. Your guests will feel special, too...Walk inside your home & LOOK STRAIGHT ahead to your 32-ft foyer & living room with cathedral ceiling. You'll also see hundreds of feet into your yard through the floor-to-ceiling (F2C) windows across the 16-ft width of the living room. An 8-ft wide gorgeous green marble fireplace is in the living room ...From the entry LOOK LEFT at the open floor plan & you'll see part of your family area and dining area & out the F2C windows. Walk into the family area & you'll note the 8 x 8 ft brick fireplace wall. You'll also be enthralled in the family and dining areas by the 4 fabulous, custom-made, stained-glass windows which are replicas of Wright's windows...The large kitchen features generous counter space & cabinets, a walk-in pantry, & views of hundreds of feet of land and trees... The oversize laundry room with a wall of cabinets above the W/D, a closet wall, & a 10-ft wall of windows now doubles as an office. Alternatively, the space could be used for a child's bedroom...From the entry TURN RIGHT & see the long art gallery hall to the wing of 3 bedrooms & 2 full baths... The secluded primary bedroom at the end of the home & its ensuite spa bathroom have vaulted ceilings. There is a sunken whirlpool for two & a large separate shower with shower heads on opposite sides.... Enjoy a warm shower as you look out at the snow or deer! Double vanity... The large primary bedroom fits a king bed, dresser, armoire, sitting area, & desk for remote workers... Between the 2 other bedrooms is a bathroom with an 8-ft vanity, 2 large sinks, & one piece of mirror above the entire vanity to the ceiling. A shower with tub and 2 walls of glass enable views to the outside... GROUND LEVEL is 2,440 sq ft. Hardwood floors, solid doors, cedar closets... The lower level offers 1,400 sq ft of storage space. Against the walls are 42 linear ft of wooden cabinets 7.5 ft high & 2 ft deep. (34 drawers plus rods to hang clothes.) Custom-build what you wish... #The 2.5-car attached garage fits 2 cars plus a 7-ft width for other items. It's less than 10-minutes-no stop lights-to Fox River Grove train station with ample parking...Before offering to sell the house, the owner planned to replace older but working items. He obtained from various contractors written estimates for a total of $85,000 to buy these new items: roof... furnace/AC/water heaters... kitchen appliances... washer/dryer. But the owner learned that if he bought some of the items, the warranty periods would transfer to the buyer for shorter periods. He knew the purchaser would want full warranties & would prefer to choose materials, colors, & features. The great news: in ONLY TWO DAYS workmen can remove old items & install new... The owner will show the written contractor estimates to prospective purchasers & reduce his intended $1,195,000 offering price by the $85,000 price he would have spent for the new items. Thus, the owner is offering to sell for $1,110,000 so you can customize your new home & have the full warranties... TO QUALIFY for a showing, you must have a lender's pre-approval letter. Please call for a showing 24 hours prior to the time you desire. Visit & enjoy nature & Wright's genius!
