Located on a quiet dead end street in the heart of Bannockburn, this exceptional custom home offers over 7,500 finished square feet on a rare 0.81 acre double lot, one of the largest and most desirable lots in the neighborhood. A semicircular driveway, 3 car garage, and full width flagstone front porch create a memorable first impression, while the expansive private backyard offers exceptional space for recreation, entertaining, and a future pool. Inside, a soaring foyer with designer lighting opens to spaces designed for both everyday living and grand scale entertaining. The chef's kitchen centers on a stunning 13 foot custom wood island with a 2 inch mitered edge countertop and seating for up to 10. A 48 inch Thermador range, Thermador refrigerator, two Miele dishwashers, paneled beverage refrigerator, and abundant custom cabinetry complete the space. Sliding glass doors lead directly from the kitchen to a massive flagstone patio overlooking the backyard. The kitchen flows into an expansive family room with a coffered ceiling, designer light fixture, textured wallpaper ceiling detail, and striking white stone gas fireplace. Just off the family room, a private screened porch with recessed lighting and a ceiling fan provides another inviting place to relax or entertain while enjoying views of the yard. The formal dining room is a showpiece, featuring a custom wood ceiling, intricate moldings, designer paint and wallpaper, and a beautifully crafted built in bar with paneled wine and beverage refrigerators. Two private offices add remarkable flexibility to the main level. The primary office features custom walnut built in cabinetry and shelving, a dramatic leather crocodile embossed accent wall, designer lighting, and French doors to a side flagstone porch. The second office, also with custom built ins, could serve as a library, lounge, or sitting room. Two powder rooms and an oversized mudroom offer everyday convenience. A secondary mudroom off the garage includes a full bath, utility sink, and second full size refrigerator, an especially useful setup for busy households, entertaining, or future pool access. Upstairs, five generously sized bedrooms provide outstanding accommodations. The primary suite is a private retreat with two custom walk in closets and a balcony overlooking the backyard. Its spa inspired bath features heated marble floors, dual vanities, a jetted soaking tub, and an oversized shower. Three additional bedrooms have private en suite baths, while the remaining two share a Jack and Jill bath. A spacious laundry room completes the upper level. The walkout lower level offers an exceptional extension of the living space. It includes a spacious recreation room, custom wet bar with a sink and beverage center, full size gym, powder room, and separate lounge that can serve as a playroom, sitting room, or home theater. A private sixth bedroom with its own en suite bath is ideal for guests, an au pair, or multigenerational living. Direct backyard access connects this level to the home's outdoor spaces. With thoughtful design, distinctive finishes, multiple spaces to work and entertain, and an extraordinary lot, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Bannockburn's finest custom homes.
