Property Description

A world away, yet minutes from everything. Set beyond a long private approach on just over 6 acres adjoining protected forest preserve, this exceptional Georgian estate offers the feeling of a sprawling 20-acre retreat with all the conveniences of St. Charles close to home. Here, it's easy to imagine you've escaped Illinois entirely-until you realize St. Charles North High School, Wild Rose Elementary School, and downtown St. Charles are only minutes away. This is approachable luxury with room to live out your country-life dreams. An unincorporated setting, no HOA, and chickens allowed offer the freedom to enjoy country living alongside the comforts of a beautifully appointed estate. Deer and abundant wildlife are part of the everyday scenery, while the adjoining forest preserve provides access to an extensive network of walking and biking paths, inviting you to explore well beyond your own grounds. Inside, ceilings exceeding 10 feet, exceptional millwork, detailed crown moldings, and custom built-ins establish a timeless elegance. North and south exposures welcome abundant natural light, highlighting hardwood floors, natural stone, and generously proportioned gathering spaces. The six-bedroom layout includes a main-floor primary suite with a serene, spa-inspired bath. Upstairs, four bedrooms are complemented by shared living rooms, creating spacious, suite-style retreats with room to study, relax, and gather. A sixth bedroom on the lower level features a dedicated full bathroom, offering comfortable accommodations for guests. The refreshed chef's kitchen features updated cabinetry, premium appliances, and an expansive island, opening to a welcoming family room anchored by a dramatic fireplace. French doors lead to a screened porch overlooking the grounds-the perfect place for morning coffee or a quiet evening surrounded by nature. Multiple living and entertaining spaces, additional fireplaces, and laundry on both the first and second floors bring ease to everyday living. More than $1 million in improvements over the past several years have further elevated the property. A completely rebuilt in-ground pool, custom outdoor kitchen, and professionally designed landscaping create a private outdoor retreat equally suited to relaxed afternoons and memorable gatherings. Extensive updates include all new windows, new furnaces and air conditioning condensers, new hot water heaters, a new well pump and pressure tank, an upgraded water treatment system, repainted exterior, new driveway, oversized gutters with guards, and a refinished heated garage. Space to breathe, privacy to unwind, and the freedom to make country living your own-all within minutes of schools, shopping, dining, and the charm of downtown St. Charles. An extraordinary setting where estate living feels effortlessly at home.
