RUSTIC ELEGANCE | SPRAWLING RANCH | PRIVATE .84-ACRE CUL-DE-SAC SETTING | FINISHED ENGLISH BASEMENT | MINUTES TO DOWNTOWN LIBERTYVILLE! This sprawling ranch is set on a private .84-acre cul-de-sac lot and has been thoughtfully updated for modern living, including a new roof (2024), new HVAC systems (2022), a new 50-gallon water heater (2022), a whole-house Oxytech water filtration system (2020), a new garage door (2021), new patio with gas firepit and deck (2021), and fresh interior paint. Offering 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, this home delivers the ease of single-level living paired with warm architectural details and impressive outdoor spaces. Front and center, the living room makes a statement with rustic vaulted, beamed ceilings, remarkable hardwood floors, and a dramatic stone fireplace, all filled with natural light. Most of the main level features hardwood flooring, creating a cohesive, timeless look that flows effortlessly into the dining area and gourmet kitchen, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen showcases beautiful cabinetry with crowned uppers, a chic tile backsplash, granite countertops, and a center island perfect for meal prep or casual gatherings. Open the slider to extend entertaining outdoors on the deck overlooking your private backyard and river views, or enjoy evenings in the 3-season room with newly installed windows (2025) complete with a fireplace insert and dry bar including wine beverage fridge. The backyard also features a charming gazebo, offering a peaceful place to relax, dine, or take in the surrounding nature. Adding to the serene setting, the river behind the home provides a picturesque backdrop and hosts a variety of wildlife including fish, ducks, and blue heron. Enjoy the rare ability to canoe directly from your backyard while watching kayakers and canoeists float by, creating a true retreat-like experience just minutes from town. When it's time to unwind, the primary bedroom suite offers a private escape with a walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath featuring a dual-sink vanity, whirlpool tub, and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms, a second full bath, and a mudroom complete the main level. The finished English basement expands the living space with an expansive family room highlighted by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, along with a dedicated home office, exercise room, laundry room, and a versatile bonus space that could easily serve as a potential bedroom-offering exceptional flexibility for work, entertaining, and everyday living. Additional highlights include a two-car garage and a large circular asphalt driveway (2018) for ample guest parking. All of this is just minutes from Independence Grove's scenic trails and nature preserve, and downtown Libertyville's farmers markets, boutique shopping, and vibrant dining scene.
