Description

Finally, this is your chance to own THE exquisite modern luxury home of your dreams-without the wait! Move right in and enjoy this new custom built state of the art farmhouse situated near Central school, on a quiet tree lined corner lot in a vibrant neighborhood just a few blocks from downtown Des Plaines. When the doors swing open, you will feel like you've arrived on location for a modern architecture magazine photo shoot. This four bedroom three and a half bathroom home with a first floor luxury suite and lower level richly appointed guest suite quarters is designed front to back top to bottom to marry style and function with no expense spared build quality. Warm walnut floors, generous use of white quartz and custom gloss cabinetry, sleek stainless appliances, high end carefully selected plumbing and light fixtures, gorgeous tile selections, brushed nickel industrial style barn door shower enclosures, sound deadening highly efficient closed cell spray foam insulation, thick 5/8" drywall with many 2x6 constructed walls. Wall mounted fireplace, blue tooth flush ceiling mounted speakers, drive in attached two car garage with a cathedral ceiling and daylight style lighting, Each of the three levels has uniquely designed family room space making it perfect for finding your own special area to watch the game, read your book, enjoy a movie, catch up on your social media, handle work, play scrabble, or sip cocktails. Whatever it is you love to do, you will be doing it in style once you decide which living space you choose to settle yourself into. Outside you'll notice the neutral stone facade, maintenance free composite siding that looks like cedar but won't need maintenance, modern energy saving windows, and well planned landscaping complete the luxury tour.
