Welcome to the beginning of an exciting venture! We are standing at the precipice of transforming Fairview Ave in the charming village of Glen Ellyn, IL. This isn't just a construction project; it’s about breathing life into a carefully nurtured vision. A home is not merely a structure; it’s a vessel of experiences, a repository of memories waiting to be made.
This is a transitional and timeless coastal/colonial home. This vision is a harmonious blend of classic sophistication and contemporary comfort. We're moving away from stark whites and cool grays, embracing a warmer, earthier palette to create spaces that are inviting, rich, and lived-in.
The moment you step inside, you'll be captivated by the immediate sense of spaciousness, accentuated by soaring 10-foot ceilings. The entire first floor will feature seamless 6-inch pre-finished white oak hardwood flooring a deliberate choice to foster a sense of cohesion. The layout promises a fluid transition between the Lounge/Foyer, Kitchen, Great Room, and Dining Room. This spatial arrangement is meticulously designed to accommodate both the rhythms of daily life and the demands of grand entertaining.
The Primary Suite on the upper level is designed for pure indulgence, with vaulted ceilings and a spa-like Primary Bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub and curbless shower. The rest of the second floor provides three additional, generously sized bedrooms. Descend to the finished basement, and you'll find an ultimate entertainment zone. This versatile space is designed for both recreation and relaxation, complete with a stylish wet bar, a rec room, an exercise room, and the pièce de résistance; a Western Red Cedar sauna!
In this home, no detail will be overlooked. The stacked stair system, a true centerpiece, will showcase exquisite craftsmanship with white oak rails and iron balusters. Throughout the home, custom trim work and solid core 8-foot doors on the main level will add a sense of refined elegance.
We'll be using a curated palette of Sherwin Williams Cashmere flat paint in warm, earthy tones to create a serene and cohesive mood throughout.
We are incredibly excited to share the progress of this stunning Glen Ellyn home with you, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the design and construction process. Stay tuned for regular updates, exclusive content, and a wealth of design inspiration to fuel your own home-building dreams.
