A RARE ESTATE WHERE OLD-WORLD CHARM MEETS MODERN LUXURY. Tucked away on more than 13 wooded acres, yet just 8 minutes from downtown St. Charles, this extraordinary estate offers a level of privacy, craftsmanship and lifestyle rarely found SO close to town. Perched gracefully on a hill and surrounded by mature trees, the setting feels more like a private Tuscan retreat than a home in the heart of the Fox Valley. Designed for both grand entertaining and also intimate everyday moments. The custom kitchen is truly a showpiece, featuring a massive layout, high-end appliances and an extraordinary copper countertop that brings character to the heart of the home. With 5+ bedrooms and 6 bathrooms this home offers tons of flexibility, including a spectacular coach house above the garage ~ this is ideal for guests, a private office, nanny or your favorite hobby. There is a first floor primary suite that is a destination of its own, with private access to the expansive deck and direct access to the hot tub. Beyond the doors this estate turns into an entertainers dream: a beautiful pool, hot tub, firepit, built in grill and eating area. All surrounded by stunning outcropping of rock and custom landscaping. Enjoy stunning architecture, amazing trimwork, heated floors and storage that never ends. Some properties are impressive ~ this one is an experience!
