Features
Traditional Nantucket beauty on a quaint street with a wooded lot.
Inspired by the ornate and balanced details of Nantucket styling, this Downers Grove home seamlessly combines traditional craftsmanship and design with modern materials and products to create an environment that is aesthetically and structurally superior.
Adding to the home’s visual value, a steeply pitched roof captures the grandeur and mystery of its historical counterpart, while multiple gables add dimension and depth to the front elevation. Accented by carriage style garage doors and subtle inclusions of decorative cedar trim and paneling, the home effortlessly takes on a personality of its own. Natural stone columns flank the arched entry, while a custom arched front door beckons your presence. Wrapped in natural stone and maintenance-free shakes and siding by James Hardie, this look achieved today will surely continue uninterrupted for years to come. A covered front porch solidifies the home’s façade, while serving as a peaceful outdoor retreat.
An expansive, 3-story foyer gives way to a formal living room and dining room, both of which boast custom ceiling designs. Precisely placed, oversized windows maximize natural light in these rooms, as well as throughout the home. The adjacent mudroom is conveniently located off the garage and incorporates a custom built-in bench with hooks. A butler’s pantry offers easy access to spacious gourmet kitchen. Stainless steel appliances and a centrally located island optimize function, while a turret breakfast area offers panoramic views of the backyard and attached wood deck.
Adorned with windows and a display ledge, the custom staircase services the English style lookout basement and second floor living area. Complete with three bedrooms and an impressive master suite, the second floor boasts its own impressive menu of features and amenities, including cathedral ceilings, custom window seats, skylights and laundry room. His and her closets, vaulted ceilings, a plasma TV niche, and oversized whirlpool tub perfect the appeal and functionality of this elegant master suite.
