Property Description

Set in a quiet and picturesque pocket of Bull Valley, this exceptional estate embodies the very best of refined country living offering a casual, elegant European flair and built with uncompromising quality. Surrounded by rolling hills, equestrian properties, scenic trails, and open farmland, Bull Valley offers a bucolic retreat known for its vibrant arts and artisanal scene, natural beauty, and relaxed sophistication, an ideal escape for those seeking privacy with easy access to conveniences. A rugged cut-stone facade, limestone accents, and beautiful architectural details create timeless curb appeal. Inside, rich dark-stained walnut floors, tall ceilings, arched openings, exposed beams, and finely crafted hardware reflect enduring craftsmanship throughout. The heart of the home is built for both everyday living and gracious entertaining. A chef's kitchen features Viking six-burner double ovens with griddle, Wood-Mode cabinetry, granite counters, pot filler, prep and main sinks, a large pantry, breakfast bar with beverage center, and two butler's pantries for effortless hosting. Open living spaces flow seamlessly into a dramatic family room with a stone fireplace and German-engineered retractable folding glass wall that opens fully to an expansive wraparound deck-creating a true indoor-outdoor sanctuary with sweeping views of open preserve space. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat, complete with sitting area, French door deck access, a spa-like marble bath with steam shower, heated floors, and an exceptional dressing room. A second primary suite provides ideal flexibility for guests, au pair, or multigenerational living. Five bedrooms, two laundry rooms, a soaring library with laddered shelving, and multiple recreation spaces offer versatility for any lifestyle. The fully finished walk-out lower level continues the home's refined aesthetic with radiant heated floors, walnut bar and efficiency kitchen, theater room, family room with fireplace, additional primary suite, and multiple French doors opening to a brick paver patio and terraced yard-perfect for gatherings large or small. Professionally landscaped grounds feature mature maples, oaks, and conifers, paver drives and patios, sprinkler system, landscape lighting, and long pastoral views. Located near nationally recognized equine trails, Boone Creek Fen Preserve, charming downtown Woodstock and Crystal Lake, Metra access, and just 30 minutes from Lake Geneva, this home offers luxurious country living that is polished, welcoming, and deeply connected to its natural surroundings.
