Additional Information

Raising the Standard KRB Custom Homes is proud to present this outstanding home with elements of French provincial and Tudor design. From the fully landscaped property to the look-out basement, this home is truly a dream come true. The finest materials and finishes are found throughout the outstanding floor plan. As you pull up the hill and into the drive a stone-trimmed driveway and stone walkway lead you to the well-lit Mahogany front door. Upon entering the foyer you are met with gleaming Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors, a custom-milled staircase with iron balusters, and arched recessed panel entryways to the living areas. On either side the arched openings lead to the formal living and dining areas; straight ahead leads through the wide barrel vaulted Family Room entry. Before passing through on your left you will see the stately library entrance with stained French doors. The glass in the eight-foot doors allow you to view the stained wainscoting and ceiling coffers. On the right you can see the furniture vanity and mirror in the Powder Room. After passing through into the Family Room you will be struck by the beautiful views of the backyard. The granite-surrounded fireplace will draw your attention to the left but only momentarily as the Kitchen awaits you on the right. The shimmering finishes on the Wood-Mode cabinets speak of wonderful entertaining and family events. The Cherry Island and Buffet are perfectly contrasted by the Maple perimeter cabinets. The appliances you can see are shining stainless steel, and the others are hidden with cabinet panels. The thick granite counters are perfectly balanced with the tumbled stone backsplash. Around the corner you can glimpse the Butler's Pantry leading back to the dining room. The glass doors on the upper cabinets are lit up by interior lighting and the beverage center beckons with cold drinks. Continuing to the back of the house the Breakfast Area also looks over the back yard and has an arched doorway to the Mud Room. The Mud Room's eight-foot door with eight glass panes, oval window, and glimmering copper slate will ensure a warm welcome at the back door. Heading up the stairs the glass-covered and lighted skylight in combination with the gleaming hardwood assure a warm glow day or night. The double doors to the Master Bedroom are ahead but the focal point of the upstairs hallway is the oval window with the computer workstation underneath at the opposite end. The large Laundry Room on the right is filled with cabinetry and a long granite counter with washer and dryer beneath. The Family Bedrooms on the right and left are generously-sized and have beautifully detailed baths attached. Heading through the double doors takes you into your personal retreat. The spacious room is bathed by the lights above the crown molding detail. The short hall with closets on either side lead to the Master Bath; cream marble with darker accent tiles and granite tops accentuate the rustic finish on the cabinetry. The heated oval whirlpool tub invites you to unwind from the day’s activities or the custom shower could invigorate you with Grohe body jets and steam. Arriving on the lower level you are greeted by a cabinetry hutch built in at the bottom of the stairs. An arched and paneled entryway leads to the media room while across the hall the extra bedroom and bath with custom shower stall and huge walk-in closet are their own mini suite. Heading back the astounding view of the lookout windows is better than many home first floors. A stone fireplace, expansive curved wet bar, glass enclosed exercise room, and a 470-plus bottle wine cellar draw your attention in turn. As a last stop the back patio of stone will be perfect for outdoor entertaining with extras including landscape lighting, sound wiring, and even wiring for an outdoor television. All of this is to be found situated on one of the most beautiful lots in this charming Glencoe neighborhood.
