Property Description
Exceptional 5 BD, 3.5BA and 4,000 sf SFH in the heart of Roscoe Village- located in sought-after Audubon School District-just three blocks to the school and steps to neighborhood parks, boutiques, dining, and transportation. Built by luxury builder Paul Petersen, this residence blends timeless craftsmanship with modern design. The main level features 10 foot high ceilings with floor-to-ceiling windows, enjoying an abundance of natural light-enhanced by the home's unique positioning with open side yards that allow for rare, unobstructed exposures. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the main floor offers formal living room with wood-burning fireplace with gas starter and a large dining room, newly refinished light maple wood floors, an open renovated kitchen, and huge family room with breakfast area. The beautifully remodeled chef's kitchen features 2" thick quartzite countertops, an oversized island with room for 4 stools, marble tiled backsplash, Sub-Zero refrigerator, GE cooktop, new Bosch dishwasher, KitchenAid double ovens, and a walk-in pantry. The second floor features 11' high ceilings with skylights, three generously sized bedrooms including a serene primary suite complete with gas fireplace, dual closets, and a travertine bathroom with walk-in shower with body sprays, dual vanities, separate toilet room, Jacuzzi tub and Kohler fixtures. Laundry room with side-by-side washer/dryer and tub sink adds everyday convenience on this level. The finished lower level impresses with 9' high ceilings, a spacious recreation room with wet bar and beverage refrigerator, two additional bedrooms, and excellent storage closets-offering flexibility for guests, office space, or an exercise room. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with a stunning garage trex roof deck with pergola and planter boxes with irrigation, and a deck off the family room leading down to a brick paver patio with access to the lower level as well. Bright family room with french doors leading to another patio. Additional features include refinished maple floors, newly painted throughout, crown moldings, high baseboards, dual HVAC systems, new exterior lighting, a second laundry hookup, and a 2.5-car garage. Note all of the concrete block exterior was just sealed and waterproofed and facade is solid brick.
