Set on a quiet, tree-lined street in the highly sought-after McIntosh of Inverness, this distinguished French Colonial estate sits on a rare 2.5-acre double lot surrounded by more than 40 mature trees and beautifully curated English gardens. It is a setting that feels private, peaceful, and genuinely timeless. Built by Period Homes, this all-brick residence offers generous living above grade plus a finished walkout basement, blending classic architecture with thoughtful updates throughout. From the limestone portico and pillars to the sweeping two-story foyer with its bridal staircase and antique chandelier, the home makes a lasting first impression while still feeling warm and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The main level is designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The showpiece is a soaring two-story family room with beamed cathedral ceilings, a gas fireplace, and sliding doors that open to a large upper patio overlooking the grounds, a space that is genuinely hard to leave. Formal living and dining rooms add character and charm with detailed millwork and a gas fireplace. The kitchen features a large island, farmhouse sink, and updated appliances, flowing naturally into the heart of the home. A private first-floor office with views of the beautiful grounds adds the kind of flexibility today's lifestyle calls for. Upstairs, hardwood floors carry throughout four generously sized bedrooms, each with walk-in closets. The spacious primary suite offers a true retreat. Multiple bathrooms, including a Jack and Jill layout, along with a dedicated laundry room make the second level as functional as it is comfortable. The finished walkout basement adds approximately 1,300 square feet of versatile living space, complete with a large recreation area, second office, kitchenette, full bath, and a bonus room that can easily serve as a fifth bedroom, ideal for guests or extended living. Extensively updated and meticulously maintained, the home includes newer Pella windows, dual-zone HVAC, a whole-home backup generator, and a long list of thoughtful improvements that provide both comfort and peace of mind. And then there are the grounds. Mature trees, sweeping green space, and English gardens create a setting that feels like your own private retreat, beautiful in every season, and unlike anything else in the area. McIntosh is more than just a neighborhood. It is one of Inverness' most treasured communities, known for its winding streets, expansive homesites, and natural beauty that has been thoughtfully preserved for generations. There is a quiet pride here, and once people find it, they tend to stay. Served by top-rated schools including William Fremd High School, and just minutes from I-90, the Palatine Metra, and the Inverness Golf Club, the location is as practical as it is special. Homes like this, where space, setting, and timeless design come together in one of Inverness' most beloved neighborhoods, simply do not come along very often.
