About this home
A Petersen-built custom home of this caliber is a rare offering - more than 6,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space where architectural integrity, superior craftsmanship, and refined finishes converge at every turn. Clad in durable concrete fiber siding and appointed with top-grade windows throughout, the home presents with the quiet confidence of construction done right, built to endure and designed to inspire. A gracious entry foyer anchored by a stunning tile inlay sets an immediate tone of distinction, drawing you into an elegant sitting room that flows seamlessly into a formal dining room showcasing real wainscoting and rich hardwood floors that carry through the entire main level. At the heart of the home, the dramatic two-story family room commands the space with soaring vaulted ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace with gas starter - a generous, light-filled room that lends itself to an endless range of configurations, whether arranged for intimate evenings, casual gatherings, or effortless large-scale entertaining. Opening directly from this central gathering space, a chef's kitchen rises to the occasion with custom cabinetry, a generous center island, and solid surface counters built for both beauty and serious culinary use, connecting seamlessly to a sun-drenched breakfast room with vaulted ceilings and a slider leading to the deck - an inviting threshold between interior comfort and the natural world beyond. The main level primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself - coffered ceilings, a generous walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath appointed with a double sink vanity, soaking tub, and walk-in shower, with direct access to a private screened deck that invites quiet mornings and unhurried evenings in equal measure. A powder room and a well-appointed laundry room with utility sink and ample cabinet storage complete this thoughtfully considered level. Upstairs, a versatile loft area introduces the upper level, where two generously proportioned bedrooms - each with substantial walk-in closets - share a well-appointed full bath with double vanity, and a private third bedroom suite with its own bath and walk-in closet offers the kind of autonomy guests and family members alike will appreciate, while a bonus room rounds out the level suited equally for a home office, media room, or creative studio. The fully finished walkout basement with brand new carpet extends the home's entertaining capabilities with a spacious recreation area anchored by a fireplace and a fifth bedroom that adapts effortlessly as a home office, fitness studio, or guest retreat. A zoned HVAC system ensures year-round comfort precisely where and when it's needed, a detail that speaks to the home's broader commitment to livability and long-term quality. Outside, the deck, patio, and screened porch compose an exceptional suite of outdoor living spaces, all set within a beautifully private yard framed by mature trees that offer shade, seclusion, and a natural backdrop that shifts beautifully with every season. A ten-minute walk to the Metra train station and the neighborhood elementary school places the rhythms of daily life within effortless reach - and homes of this scale, construction quality, and location are seldom available.
