8690 Shade Tree Cir Lakewood, IL 60014

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac on a rare expanded double lot with mature wooded surroundings and a long secluded driveway, this custom-built four-bedroom, four-bath ranch delivers exceptional privacy, scale, and livability just steps from the lake and neighborhood beaches. Recently enlarged by the current owner, the property creates one of the widest and most private homesites on the street, complemented by a welcoming wraparound front porch. The main living space showcases soaring 15-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, skylights, and a dramatic brick fireplace beneath a Currey & Company designer chandelier, with oversized windows framing wooded views and filling the home with natural light. The chef's kitchen is remarkably expansive-designed for serious entertaining and everyday living-featuring a large center island, extensive cabinetry and storage rarely found in single-level homes, Sub-Zero refrigeration, double oven, brand new built-in wine fridge, warming drawer, new Bosch dishwasher, new Moen touchless faucet, two sinks - and direct access to the rear deck, to enjoy the outdoors! The primary suite offers cathedral ceilings, an oversized walk-in closet, and ensuite bath overlooking the woods and privacy. Two additional bedrooms and baths provide flexibility, with one enhanced by French doors and new chandelier - can be also for used as a private office. The finished lower level is the full main level footprint effectively doubling the home's living space, featuring a second brick fireplace, oversized bedroom, full bathroom, recreation areas, and large bonus space, that can be finished for a gym or anything you desire. Exterior upgrades include refreshed landscaping around the entire property, a custom wood mailbox, and premium raindrop gutters. With no HOA restrictions, permitted fencing, and a buildable second lot suitable for a guest house or pool, this is a rare opportunity to own expansive single-level living in sought-after Village of Lakewood-ranches of this scale and proximity to the lake, beaches and Doles farmer's market and community center seldom come to market. Enjoy an amazing lifestyle in a charming home!
