On the Market: Inverness Cape Cod
Privacy and luxury are the watchwords in this lovely brick and cedar Cape Cod home, located on a tiny Inverness cul-de-sac with only two other homes. Space abounds, as do premium appointments and take-your-breath-away décor.
One child’s bedroom features an ocean theme while another one transports the resident to a log cabin in the Northwoods. The two master bedroom suites are so voluminous that they seem to go on without end.
The breathtaking cherry kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances overlooks the indoor pool so children can swim and frolic before dinner under the watchful eye of whomever is cooking.
And you need only travel to the lower level to entertain friends in the large recreation room with wet bar and the adjoining media room.
Listing agents Tina and Tony Sarantakis of Coldwell Banker Residential in Arlington Heights offer more details:
