8730 Keeler Ave

Situated on over half an acre along the 13th tee box of Evanston Country Club, no detail was spared in this 2009 custom-built home, where quality was at the forefront of every decision and the level of craftsmanship is truly exceptional. Arrive via the private circular drive and you are immediately greeted by professionally designed landscaping, beautifully illuminated with nighttime uplighting and maintained by an irrigation system. The solid brick and stucco residence was designed by FWC Architects and meticulously executed by Wayward Builders. Upon entering, you are welcomed by soaring ceilings and clear-grade Santos Mahogany floors throughout, complemented by accent stone in high-traffic areas for both beauty and durability. The main level is thoughtfully laid out with a formal living room, a dedicated dining room with wet bar for prep and storage, and a large private study featuring custom built-in cabinetry with walk-out access to a private patio. Natural light floods every room, with the home centered around a stunning great room offering unparalleled views of the 13th tee box. Arched transitions lead to the chef-inspired kitchen, featuring solid wood, custom two-toned cabinetry, dual dishwashers, a 6-burner Wolf range with griddle, instant hot water, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and granite countertops. The main level is complete with a four-season sunroom, full laundry room, two powder rooms, an attached three-car garage with epoxy floors and workstation, and an expansive patio off the kitchen, perfect for entertaining. The second level offers four ensuite bedrooms, all with walk-in closets, including a luxurious primary wing with a private terrace overlooking the golf course, gas fireplace with stone surround, two massive walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, jetted soaking tub, and walk-in steam shower. The lower level is equally impressive, featuring a full theater with surround sound, a large gym with rubber flooring and mirrored wall, a spacious recreation room with Brunswick pool table, a full second kitchen, two additional rooms, a full bathroom, and unfinished storage space. Every detail was executed with intention and precision-from solid wood trim throughout to 4x4 studs, RC channels for sound insulation, three heating and cooling zones, a recirculating hot water system, surround sound speakers, solid-core doors, custom wrought-iron stair spindles, Hunter Douglas blinds, and striking architectural ceilings with no two designs alike. Offering approximately 8,300 square feet of exceptional quality and craftsmanship, homes of this caliber rarely come to market.
