Legendary, custom built home on a private, nearly three quarters of an acre on the market for the first time. It is hard to fathom the scale of this massive home with 5 bedrooms, 4 1/2 bedrooms and over 6200 sq ft above grade*. Enormous master retreat including a spa-like bathroom and a dream, 500 sq ft walk-in closet. Spacious kitchen, state of the art for the time, with island, eating area, high-end Sub-Zero and Kitchenaid appliances. 3 1/2 car attached garage, screened in porch, overlooking secluded backyard. Huge basement is a blank slate (3300+ sq ft* with 9' ceilings (to joists), roughed in for a bath) and is just waiting to be finished. 5th bedroom is a 1st floor ensuite, perfect for short or long-term guests. Updated Mechanicals (Lenox Furnaces 2012, A/C 2012, HWT 2014). Single lot (120 x 226) is larger than most double lots and feels even more spacious with the set-backs and surrounding woods. Ideal location. 1 block from Carefree Park, close to restaurants, and convenient to 90 expressway, downtown Mt Prospect & Arlington Heights. Award-winning schools.
