Nestled on a private cul-de-sac and surrounded by nearly an acre of manicured grounds, this timeless custom-built Hemphill home is an updated classic, inside and out. As you come up the private driveway, you will see that the home is set among mature trees and decorative plantings. The front of the property is especially lovely at night when landscaping and facade are custom lit. Walk around back for a spectacular setting: The large bluestone patio, accessed through multiple rooms, fronts a koi pond fed by a boulder scaped waterfall. Lush plantings, including Magnolia trees and Japanese maples, create an enclosed haven for parties, a simple BBQ, or just star gazing. The yard provides plenty of room for games, or perhaps adding that family pool. Inside, the large rooms have been professionally decorated and continually updated. The main floor is perfectly set for entertaining but practical and comfortable for everyday living. Hardwood oak flooring covers several rooms. Many other features include a marble entry, custom gourmet's kitchen with top-line and luxury appliances, utility and prep sinks, grill, and adjacent dining space opening onto the patio. Also, wet bars in the family room and library. The light filled living room has a wood burning fireplace with a newer marble mantle & tumbled marble surround, custom display lighted shelving, and plantation shutters. The dining room features pecky cypress doors covering storage for china/glassware and linens. The 2nd floor has a unique, recently renovated Primary suite; a private retreat boasting magnificent hardwood built-ins for designed for both decor and function, a serene view, 2 separate marble and granite baths and 2 walk-in closets. Three bedrooms-2 with walk in closets- a hallway bath with double vanity, and a walk-in linen closet finish the 2nd floor. The house sits midway between the Avoca District's award winning schools and is a short ride to New Trier High. PRIVACY, LUXURY, COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE; THIS HOME HAS IT ALL, INCLUDING A NEW ROOF!
