Previously featured in the Chicago Tribune Weekend Edition as one of the Chicago metropolitan area's distinctive homes, this exceptional custom residence is ideally situated on a quiet cul-de-sac overlooking the 18th fairway in prestigious Royal Melbourne. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated throughout, the home showcases timeless architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and panoramic golf course views. Designed for both everyday living and grand-scale entertaining, the expansive floor plan features a beautifully updated gourmet kitchen with premium appliances, generous workspace, and a custom granite breakfast table with seating for eight. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the impressive family room, creating an inviting gathering space with spectacular views. The luxurious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a spacious spa-like bath and generous walk-in closets. Each additional upstairs bedroom features its own private en-suite bath. The extraordinary walkout lower level is an entertainer's dream, complete with custom built-ins, a full wet bar, multiple recreation areas, and a renovated indoor basketball court with soaring ceilings. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a newer cedar deck overlooking the golf course, beautifully maintained landscaping and hardscape, and an expansive yard. A whole-house generator provides added comfort and peace of mind. This is a rare opportunity to own one of Royal Melbourne's finest golf course residences, combining exceptional quality, gracious living spaces, and an outstanding location within award-winning District 96 and Stevenson High School District 125.
