Nestled on nearly an acre of wooded land, this beautifully restored and respectfully updated limestone English cottage will be your own forest oasis! This home combines traditional charm with a modern sensibility, delivering the contemporary features you need with the classic touches you adore. The show-stopping (and low-maintenance!) native perennial gardens will surely take your breath away from every angle. Designed by Millenium Park contributing garden designer Austin Eischeid, they welcome healthy pollinators and benefit the area's natural biodiversity while providing a meditative and calming environment. See the accompanying videos for garden walkthroughs. The floorplan is traditional-meets-open, with all-new luxury flooring and handsome millwork throughout. The striking foyer opens to the sunken living room with a gas fireplace and a stunning large picture window. The kitchen is fitted with custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and quartz countertops (all installed in 2020). Double ovens will have the bakers rejoicing, while the layout's openness and granite-clad wet bar with beverage center is an entertainer's dream. The kitchen opens to a dramatic wood great room with a floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace and an expansive sliding glass door that looks out onto the patio and garden. A truly unique space, this great room will quickly become a favorite hangout spot for all. The main level also features a half bath and a sun-drenched office with French doors and a gorgeous picture window. The second level has four spacious bedrooms and two full baths. The custom flower boxes at the front windows of the house frame picture-perfect views, while the back rooms all look out onto the fully fenced-in backyard and gardens. The basement features a laundry room, an additional family room area with a built-in entertainment center and a dedicated workout space! The utility room and a freshly sealed crawl space offer tons of storage as well. Ideally situated equidistant from the fabulous restaurants and vibrant shops of downtown Geneva, the Geneva Commons, and the Randall Road retail corridor, this location can't be beat. Metra train, Northwestern/Delnor, Geneva Golf Club, and everything Geneva has to offer, all less than a 5 min drive away! All windows, interior doors, interior flooring, moldings, appliances, polyurea garage floor coating, garage door, and backyard fencing were newly installed in 2020. Gardens, gutters, and a radon mitigation system were added in 2021. Agent Owned.
