01About this home

Welcome to your private retreat-where luxury, space, and nature come together in harmony. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac and set on a picturesque .38 acre tree-lined lot, this stunning home has over 3,500 sq ft, plus a full finished basement for nearly 5,000 total sq ft of beautifully designed living space. Backing to serene wetlands, the setting provides unmatched privacy and breathtaking views, with frequent visits from deer, turtles, hummingbirds, and other wildlife-your own personal nature sanctuary. Step inside to be greeted by a dramatic two-story foyer that opens to a spacious dining room currently set to seat 10 for all your family gatherings. The elegant living room provides space to host a game night or hold quiet conversation with friends. The impressive family room features soaring ceilings and a striking stone fireplace, creating a warm yet grand focal point for everyday living and entertaining. The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, complete with custom Brakur cabinetry, two beautiful and intentionally designed islands, and gleaming granite countertops- wonderful for hosting gatherings or enjoying quiet mornings at home. A dedicated home office features inspiring views of the surrounding nature, making working from home both peaceful and productive. Upstairs, each of the four bedrooms is thoughtfully designed with direct bathroom access, ensuring convenience for everyone. The luxurious primary suite is a true escape, featuring a spacious sitting area overlooking the wetlands, a massive walk-in closet with custom shelving and drawers, and a spa-like bath complete with a jetted tub, dual sinks, and a multi-spray shower system. A secondary bedroom enjoys its own private bath and walk-in closet, while the third and fourth bedrooms share a well-appointed Jack-and-Jill bath with dual vanities and linen closet. Custom closet solutions throughout add both beauty and function. The full finished basement expands your living space even further, offering a large home gym with an attached 3/4 bath, a cozy gas fireplace, and an additional living area to enjoy popcorn on movie nights. A second kitchen-equipped with a microwave, dishwasher, sink, wine fridge, and refrigerator-makes entertaining effortless. There's also a versatile additional room great for crafts, hobbies, or whatever suits your lifestyle, along with generous storage space. Additional highlights include a 3-car garage, indoor and outdoor speaker systems, sprinkler system, and numerous recent updates including a new roof in July 2024, water heaters in 2021, and some newer kitchen appliances. This exceptional home blends elegant design with modern convenience, all set in a peaceful, nature-filled setting-providing the lifestyle you've been waiting for. After enjoying the comforts of home, explore the hidden treasures and amenities of Thornwood- trails through the trees, tranquil ponds, several parks, large community pool for all ages, pickleball, tennis, sand volleyball and basketball courts.
