Newer construction, larger than it appears! This 2019 custom-built home offers 5 bedrooms and 4.1 baths in a prime in-town Glencoe location. A charming front porch immediately invites you into a warm, thoughtfully designed home filled with timeless details and high-end finishes throughout. Designed for effortless entertaining, the open floor plan is flooded with natural light, with soaring ceilings and a south-facing backyard enhancing the light. The spacious living room features a built-in desk, while the elegant dining room is complemented by an adjoining butler's pantry. At the heart of the home is a stunning white chef's kitchen, outfitted with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, quartz countertops, an oversized eat-in island, walk-in pantry, and a sunny breakfast nook with custom cabinetry. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the family room, where sliding doors open to a Trex deck and a fully fenced backyard -perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.
