Description

This stunning modern farmhouse gut-rehab feels just like brand new construction, but is somehow even better. The quality and finish level is un-matched anywhere for this price. Not only was this home taken down to the studs, but it was also rebuilt with new walls, truss systems between floors, and basement that was dug out to achieve 8 foot ceilings. Before putting it all together again, the builder made sure to waterproof the foundation, add drain tile and a sump pump, install dual zoned furnaces, and add all new electrical with 200 amp service. He also installed all new copper plumbing as well as a new water service line and sewer from the home to the city connections. On the exterior, the home has all new; casement windows, doors, roof, Hardie Board siding, massive back deck, covered front porch and a 2-car garage with a party door. Luxury finishes inside include wide plank white oak hardwood floors throughout first and second floors, marble and Italian porcelain tiles, granite counters in baths, Duravit tubs, quartz counters and book match backsplash in kitchen, as well as Grohe and Kholer fixtures. Subtle details like shiplap in the half bath, above the fireplace and in the foyer will delight you. The large kitchen with huge island, walk in pantry, beverage cooler, and custom soft close cabinets will inspire you. Get some work done in your first floor office or hang out by the fireplace with gorgeous granite casing in the living room. The second floor has three bedrooms all with walk in closets and organizers. The master suite is spectacular with a Juliet balcony, giant walk-in closet with organizers and a bath with two sinks, tub and separate rainfall shower. Never carry heavy baskets of laundry down to the basement again, because this home has a second floor laundry room!!! The basement has a fourth bedroom, recreation room, and full bathroom with pristine epoxy floors and exposed steel beams. Many smart features like the samsung smart fridge, two Ecobee smart thermostats, and exterior lights that can be turned on with your smartphone. Close to everything Des Plaines has to offer! This house has too many amazing features to list them all! You'll just have to come see it for yourself!
