This elegant five-bedroom custom home blends classic craftsmanship with modern functionality. At the front, generous formal living and dining rooms set the tone for refined entertaining. The back of the home opens to a chef's kitchen with island, walk-in pantry, and butler's pantry, seamlessly connected to the breakfast room and two-story family room with gorgeous coffered ceiling, gas fireplace and custom cherry built-ins. Walls of windows frame serene pond and river views, extending to the Trex deck and vaulted screened porch - perfect for year-round enjoyment. A true first-floor office sits beside the spacious primary suite, a private retreat with wooded and water vistas. Secondary front entrance leads to multiple mudroom closets and an expansive laundry room, keeping daily life organized and discreet. Upstairs, three large bedrooms each feature walk-in closets and private en suites. Two additional vaulted unfinished spaces - totaling 1,700 sq ft - offer endless potential for a nanny suite, in-law retreat, or creative expansion. Finished walkout lower level impresses with rich millwork, a full bar, pool table nook, two-sided fireplace, expansive rec room, guest bedroom with full bath, and French doors to a paver patio for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining. Additional highlights include a three-car attached garage, timeless all-brick exterior, and coveted District 203 schools. Ideally located on a quiet cul-de-sac just minutes from downtown Naperville, the Riverwalk, shopping, and dining - this home offers elegance, versatility, and an unparalleled setting.
