Description

Set on one of the most beautiful lots within the Thornton Township community, this Craftsman residence offers a rare combination of scale, privacy, and outdoor livability. Backing to protected Army Corps of Engineers acreage designated for recreation, the property serves as a private sanctuary tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac. Located just minutes from Hwy 41, I-75, and top-tier parks, healthcare, schools, and golf, this home offers a retreat-style lifestyle with the convenience of a central location. The heart of this property is the expansive, level, walk-out park-like backyard—thoughtfully designed for both everyday enjoyment and large-scale entertaining. The outdoor living space is anchored by a generous deck and a covered terrace featuring a professional-grade kitchen with luxurio us thick leathered granite countertops, a built-in grilling station with two grills, refrigeration, and a stainless steel sink with a pull-down faucet. The partially fenced grounds are a gardener’s delight, flourishing with blueberries, peaches, apples, and figs, with an outdoor fire pit. Inside, the home exudes a sophisticated, current aesthetic. As you enter through the double glass-paned, wood doors, the foyer is warm and light-filled, opening seamlessly into a family room defined by vaulted beam ceilings, built-in bookcases, a cozy fireplace, and a wall of windows framing wooded views. The main level is designed for effortless flow, featuring 10' ceilings, hardwoods throughout, a formal dining room with a bar, a private office, and a guest suite with a full bath. The chef’s kitchen is a standout with an oversized island, a massive walk-in pantry, and a sun-drenched eat-in dining area. Functional luxuries include a three-car garage with an EV charging station and additional refrigeration, a private "friends entry" with a mudroom, and a guest powder room. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a true retreat with 9' ceilings and a spacious bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate oversized tile shower. The expansive, customized closet is a rare find, complete with its own beverage refrigerator. Three additional bedrooms, each with a private ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet, a large laundry room with a sink, and a sizable bonus/flex room complete the upper level. The daylight terrace level offers even more living space, including a bedroom with an office and built-in shelves, a full bathroom, and a fully insulated, professional-grade music room. With half of the basement remaining unfinished, there is ample room for future customization. A compelling combination of lot, layout, and lifestyle in a storybook neighborhood with low HOA dues—this move-in-ready gem is truly the one you’ve been waiting for!
