Are you tired of cookie-cutter homes??? Welcome to a Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired Custom Craftsman, nestled on over 5 private Acres! As you meander up the long drive you pass a detached garage/workshop (added in 2007 and sided in Hardieplank) with room for at least 4-6 cars (about 2,000 square feet!). This home is a natural paradise, a private retreat, beautifully sited to blend with its surroundings. It is sheathed in brick and Ipe and Hardieplank, all virtually maintenance-free. Inside, you notice thoughtful architectural details and quality craftmanship, as you step onto handsome rare African Black Walnut hardwood floors that grace the entire main level. The foyer features a solid wood door and sidelights with stained/leaded glass and a beautiful iron handle. The focal point of the living room is a stunning central floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace with raised hearth that spans both levels. A series of Anderson doors open to the outdoors. The living room also enjoys plenty of natural light from skylights and celestory windows. The awe-inspiring kitchen will delight any chef. An abundance of natural cherry cabinetry spans 2 walls. The impressive center island features an exquisite granite countertop and is home to a 5 burner cooktop with stainless steel hood, built-in microwave drawer. This generous island is seating for casual meals or a place to simply keep the chef company while enjoying a glass of wine. Appliances also include a stainless steel Jenn Aire French door refrigerator, 2 Ficher Paykal Dishwashers (one with2 drawers), and 2 Fischer Paykal independent under-counter ovens! The spectacular kitchen is open to the dining room, with a recessed nook that's ideal to tuck in your china hutch. The windowed room opens to a metal balcony with room for a bistro table to overlook the in-ground pool, deck and woodland beyond. As you travel down the hall lighted by a series of celestory windows and adorned with 2 metal retro-style ceiling fans... you are greeted by 3 main level bedrooms. Each one opens through a solid wood 3 panel Craftsman-style door (no mitered doors or trim work here!). A handsome renovated hall bath features a glass bowl sink and vanity, and a stall shower with seamless glass enclosure with a beautiful stone and tile surround. The Owner's Retreat features celestory windows, a vaulted ceiling, skylights and its own private romantic balcony ... enjoy morning coffee and an evening aperitif with breathtaking views, your only companions the deer & wildlife! The Owner's bath offers an invisible-edge jetted tub surrounded by windows, an enormous seamless glass shower enclosure, with luxurious overhead and wall showerheads as well as body spray jets. Stylish glass tiles adorn the walls and floor and the cherry vanity enjoys under-base lighting. A laundry/mudroom rounds out the main level. The lower level is accessed by an open staircase flanking the stone fireplace (the stairway features a custom gate and railing for kids or pets). The lower level (refinished in 2015) is graced by handsome Italian porcelain flooring. The stone fireplace with electric stove insert are the focal point of the family room and, like all the lower level rooms, it enjoys access to the stone terrace. 2 bedrooms (one currently used as a media room) and a full bath round out the space. No detail has been overlooked. Three independent heat pump systems warm and cool this amazing home. The kitchen and all baths were updated in 2007. All doors are Andersen or Weathershield. Outdoors you are enveloped by nature! Enjoy watching the birds from your expansive treehouse-like deck or enjoy entertaining family and friends with al fresco meals on the terrace. This is a rare opportunity to own a unique customized Craftsman-style home tucked into your own private 5 Acres woodland! No HOA. Oakton High School Pyramid.
