This beautiful home located in the Midwest's only true "new urbanism" community, New Town at St. Charles, is unique to New Town in its large lot size with ample back yard. One of few homes in the community with a main floor bedroom suite (handicap accessible) which also has a separate entrance and front porch.
Home features zoned heating/cooling, 9' ceilings on both floors with breathtaking views from the expansive 2-story wrap-around porches overlooking the beautiful lake w/fishing pier, organic farm with working windmill, and distant view (a few blocks away) of community swim club which offers 3 pools, lazy river, concessions, and showers/restrooms (access included in homeowner's annual fee).
The main floor features hardwood flooring and upgraded frisee carpeting in sitting room and bedroom. Kitchen has upgraded 42" maple cabinets w/roll-out shelves in base cabs, Silestone counters, step-in pantry, KitchenAid Architect Series stainless-steel appliances including built-in wall convection and micro-wave oven combo, additional built-in convection oven, 42" wide built-in refrigerator/freezer with in-door PUR filtered ice and water dispenser, and whisper-quiet dishwasher w/stainless tub. Gas cooktop w/5 burners and pop-up venting is mounted in peninsula with custom cabinet underneath for handy storage of cooking utensils and pans. Sink is undermount double-bowl stainless with I-S-E garbage disposer. Main floor also includes 2 dining areas (formal dining and informal), large family room with woodburning/gas fireplace and boxed-bay window, powder room, sitting room, and mud room/laundry (with laundry tub and closet) exiting to covered walkway to garage. All external threshholds are flush for handicap accessibility.
Second floor has additional laundry room with closet, desk area/computer center and loft with door to 2nd floor porch, 2 bedrooms with double closets, full bath, and large master suite featuring corner garden jet tub, separate walk-in shower double-sinks & adult-height cabinets, linen closet, and large walk-in closet. Master suite also walks out onto 2nd floor porch (gorgeous views!).
3-car garage is more than oversized (wider & deeper than standard over-sized) to accommodate after-market addition of wheel-chair ramp (never added). Includes large aggregate parking/turn-around pad.
Basement is enormous but unfinished and includes egress window and bath rough-in.
This house was contracted in 2005 and completed in 2007. Built for my father (his dream house), he unfortunately passed away 1 month before close. We added many, many upgrades to this gorgeous home in the best location in New Town. All that is lacking is someone to decorate and make it the truly spectacular home it was meant to be. We absolutely LOVE the community but must let go of this jewel; however, we do plan to downsize in New Town.
If interested in a walk-thru, please call me--preferably after 6:00 pm on weekdays or any time on weekends. Flyer with photos and floor plan available by email or in front of home.
