5-bedroom 6-bathroom 3800 SF custom home on 5 acres in rural Kingston. Ideally located 10 minutes from Belvidere ramp on I-90, 20 minutes from Sycamore, and less than an hour from O'Hare airport. The 5-acre lot encircled with trees, coupled with this home's comfort and functionality, make this property a truly private and personal sanctuary. Upon crossing the timber threshold past the mailbox, you approach the home and are greeted by a 36' x 8' country porch that begs you to sit on a porch swing and enjoy an iced tea. Once inside, a formal dining room is to your right and a sitting room with gas fireplace is at your left. As you enter, you will immediately notice the quality of the construction and the care that this home has received since it was built immediately upon entrance. The great room will be directly in front of you and when you step into it you will look up to 2 stories of windows facing north that provide ample and comfortable natural light. The wood-burning fireplace with hand carved cherry-wood mantle almost make you wish for a snowstorm so you can stoke a hot fire and watch the flakes fall while cozy and content. The Kitchen and breakfast nook is to your right and is a true cook's space. The lay-out is functional but refined, and high-end appliances such as a Sub-Zero fridge, Dacor double ovens, gas cooktop with stainless steel hood, and Bosch dishwasher make it easy to envision cooking for a crowd in this space. On the West end of the first floor is the master bedroom and bath. This is the "sanctuary within a sanctuary" and the care and attention to detail taken in design and construction is evoked again with its ample windows providing natural light, tray ceilings, and the bedroom being large yet feeling cozy at the same time. The Master Bathroom has a walk in closet, two sinks and vanities opposite each other, walk in shower, and jetted soaking tub. This bathroom is suited to preparing yourself for the day to come or washing away the stress of a workday equally. The spacious laundry room on the east end of the first floor by the entrance to the garage makes it so you could live on the main level of the home if needed. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms, each with their own walk-in closet, and two additional full bathrooms each with dual sinks so every resident in this home can get ready in the morning without fighting over who is brushing their teeth first. Again, the thought that went into the layout and design is evident by how functional the space is yet still aesthetically pleasing. The basement is mostly unfinished but it's 9' ceiling height, wood-burning stove insert, 3/4 bathroom and 8 x 12 office lead you to imagine how you could finish the space to fit your tastes. A set of stairs in the basement lead to the oversized and insulated 3 car garage. This home has been well maintained and cared for since construction and has had recent updates such as roof 7/18, windows 1/22, downstairs furnace 11/13, upstairs furnace 2/19, water heaters 9/23 and 3/16/, well pressure tank 8/20, gutters with leaf guards 10/20. The maintenance performed on this home make it truly move in ready and worry free for years to come. This property's AG-1 residential zoning in DeKalb County provides you with the freedom to use this residential property as you see fit. You can put up an outbuilding, raise animals, or even shoot clay pigeons in your backyard if you choose to. If you have been looking for a private country home, this is the one to see.
