Property Description

Elegant Custom Home with Breathtaking Golf Course Views A rare opportunity to own this stunning, custom-built Lanon stone and stucco home on the market for the first time since it was built. Perfectly positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac in Highwood, it offers panoramic views of Exmoor Country Club and direct access to scenic preserve walking trails. With over 3,600 sq ft plus a full basement, this home features 3 spacious bedrooms (with potential for a main-floor suite) and 4 full baths. The upper-level primary suite is a private retreat with a fireplace sitting room, two walk-in closets, and sweeping golf course views. The luxurious en suite bath includes a jetted tub and custom dual-head shower. Warm wood floors and rich custom paneling enhance the main floor, where you will find a sun-drenched four-season sunroom, a handsome office, a generous dining room with French doors to a large patio, and a cozy family room with a wood-burning fireplace. The spacious kitchen is ideal for entertaining, with a breakfast nook opening to the patio, a walk-in pantry, and a mudroom leading to the attached 2-car garage. The lower level offers even more living space, featuring a large rec room, wet bar, exercise room, and abundant storage. Full of character and charm, this home is just moments from Highwoods vibrant restaurants, lakefront, festivals, and Metra. A true retreat in a truly special town.
