The most spectacular downtown Naperville home you will see! Totally redone in every aspect inside and out within the past 6 years! Executive finishes from the brick and stone hardscape, including the brick driveway and private back courtyard to the rebuilt wraparound front porch. So spacious, yet so welcoming and comfortable! All the original hardwood flooring was replaced with wide plank oak. All the moldings, casements and baseboards were replaced and increased in size and even the door height was increased to 8 feet to take advantage of the 10-foot ceilings on the first floor! Custom plantation shutters were added and the interior decor was professionally executed with great flair and first-class materials. You will feel like you are in a high-end model home! The kitchen was taken down to the studs & rebuilt with high-end custom cabinetry that creatively extends all the way to the 10-foot ceilings. The granite on the center island is 3 thick and stunning. The appliances are all professional grade (Dacor and Kitchen Aid) and the overall granite countertop surfaces are generous, to say the least! Entertaining is easy with the detailed butler's pantry between the kitchen and dining room, complete with a walk-in china pantry. The kitchen is open to the comfortable family room, complete with a gas fireplace with marble surround, built-ins on either side and a custom recessed flat screen TV mounted above the fireplace that has doors that can be closed to hide the TV. The millwork detail is simply amazing! Easy access to the new screen porch from the front room with trex flooring, skylights, fans & plenty of room to relax and for meals. Exit here to a private courtyard setting with brick pavers and colorful plantings. Back inside, you flow from the kitchen back into the laundry/mudroom and into the car person's dream 3-plus car garage with many custom built-ins and epoxy finished floor and is as spotless as the interior of the home! As you exit the garage, you will enjoy the detail on the extra wide intricate brick driveway. Work from home? You will love the privacy and detail of the study with its own walk-in closet and doors to the front porch. The second floor offers an ensuite guest bedroom, a library workspace and a well-appointed Jack and Jill bath between bedrooms 3 and 4. Note the customized walk-in closets in each bedroom. The primary bedroom suite is complete with its own stunning luxury bath customized for comfort. The walk-in primary bedroom closet is also outstanding and fully custom-fitted. It is 29' x 14'... Yes, that's the closet!!! The 3rd floor is quite versatile- 5th bedroom and full bath and an open space that can be anything you wish... recreation, ballet, or a media room. The lower level basement was custom finished in the same high-end finishes that complement those above grade and adds about 1800 square feet of comfort and fun! You will enjoy a media area, a game room, workout gym, a beautifully fitted full bath and two amazing walls of custom-fitted closets. As part of this total renovation, plumbing was upgraded, hot water heaters replaced and both the sump and ejector pit were replaced. Over 7500 square feet of superbly done finished space on all 4 levels. Just blocks from all that downtown Naperville has to offer, you are just a few minutes from the Metra, I-88, and the top-ranked District 203 schools. The attention to detail found in this residence is rarely seen, down to even the smallest of details!
