This one-owner custom built all brick Walk-Out Ranch is nestled onto a one acre hillside lot and backs to a nature preserve/fen area with amazing sunsets! This unincorporated neighborhood is completely surrounded by the Lakewood Forest Preserve and is just minutes to all the quaintness of downtown Wauconda and Bangs Lake. Years of thought and design went into this forever home for the owners. Anderson windows are completely outfitted with exterior shutters and are automatic on rear of home as well as a whole house generator. The volume ceilings and open design allow for a wonderful flow to the floorplan. All living is on one level including the laundry room. The Family Room has vaulted ceilings and 4 sets for French doors to the full length deck making you feel like you are in the treetops. A cozy brick gas log fireplace and bookshelves with rolling ladder add elegance and quaintness to this very large room. The euro style Kitchen has a breakfast bar, planning desk, pantry, gas cooktop and open design to a sunny breakfast room. Direct access from the Breakfast Room to the 3 season cedar room with removable plexi-glass offers great extra living space to enjoy this wooded lot and features volume ceilings, speakers fan and light. The Primary Bedroom is extremely spacious w/casement and tilt out windows and a large walk in closet. The bath features a separate walk in shower, whirlpool tub and dual vanities. The primary bedroom has access to the 2nd bedroom and current owners have transformed it into a Spa Room with sunken jacuzzi hot tub and french doors opening onto the deck - a luxurious space to unwind, relax with a soak, letting nature surround you. The walk out Lower Level has tons of space including the 3rd bedroom with walls of windows, a full bath and a separate Exercise Room/Bonus Room with cedar closet and window -would make a great hobby room too.

This was designed with the workshop in mind Plenty of space for cars and walk-around area for getting stuff done - a great "man-cave" for the project-oriented and/or car guru! The lot is breathtaking with elevated views of the mature trees, nature preserve and wildlife/ These settings are hard to come by. This is a home for every season and extremely easy to live in.
