Listing of the week
This beautiful brick Inverness home makes a statement. Set on a one-acre cul-de-sac lot in the Bonny Glen subdivision, it looks like it could have housed Thomas Jefferson or one of his contemporaries and literally oozes dignified style.
Custom built in 1976, the home has recently been renovated with impeccable taste. Hardwood floors and lovely finishes abound throughout. There is also a stunning kitchen with cherry cabinets and granite countertops, as well as a spa bathroom with heated floors. The finished basement features a recreation room as well as an office, both of which are wired for theater and surround sound.
Outdoors you can enjoy a brick paver patio, deck and upscale landscaping.
Listing agents Tina and Tony Sarantakis of Coldwell Banker offer further details:
What is this home's hidden gem?
"The heart of the home is the knockout kitchen with all the amenities of a gourmet kitchen. It is open to an extra large family room with a center fireplace and two sets of sliding glass doors, opening onto the wraparound deck. This is the perfect place for any family that loves to entertain."
What would your perfect buyer look like?
"Any person who appreciates the ultimate in quality, an open floor plan transitioning between contemporary and traditional flair, and tasteful remodeling choices will enjoy living in this home. No expense has been spared and it shows."
What is the coolest thing about living in this neighborhood?
"Living your dream on a picturesque, rural, one-acre cul-de-sac lot close to shopping, restaurants and toll roads is pretty cool. Palatine (Township Elementary) District 15 and Fremd High School contribute to the popularity of this neighborhood."
What television program can you picture taking place in this home?
" 'Full House' is a classic! Raising the three girls in his home would be an easy task. The guys would enjoy cooking in this gourmet kitchen. Open to the family room and accented by granite, stainless appliances and a 48-inch Wolf stove, this would be a favorite meeting place for all meals.
"Danny Tanner, of course, would have the master suite with sitting room and spa bath with heated floors. The additional three bedrooms upstairs would be ideal for Joey and the girls. The lower level office/bedroom would be Jesse's. He could jam on his guitar without being heard, but be prepared for a family feud because the girls may want to use the lower level to hang out with friends. Danny would argue and win because the space is large enough for all!"
What is one adjective that you would use to describe this home?
"Breathtaking … from the moment you enter you will be captivated."
Name three trees, shrubs or plants featured in the yard.
"Crab trees, river birches and spruce trees with an extensive perennial garden."
