A private drive winds back to nearly 10 pristine wooded acres, revealing an extraordinary custom-built brick estate where masterful craftsmanship & breathtaking outdoor living converge in spectacular fashion. Nestled within the coveted Germantown Hills school district, this residence embodies a level of architectural distinction that would be virtually impossible to replicate in today's market. Beyond the grand entry foyer, a sweeping curved staircase sets an unmistakable tone of elegance. The main level unfolds with deliberate sophistication - a coffered ceiling office, a sunken family room warmed by a gas log fireplace & complemented by a wet bar plus a formal dining room crowned with a tray ceiling. The gourmet kitchen commands attention with its SubZero refrigerator, double ovens & expansive island, while the generous living room offers another fireplace & seamless patio access. Upstairs, 4 bedrooms showcase newer hardwood floors anchored by an incredible primary suite featuring a balcony with French doors, a WIC & a luxurious spa bathroom with whirlpool tub, tiled shower & dual vanities. A dedicated 4th bedroom suite includes its own living room, full bathroom & private laundry. The partially finished lower level delivers a theater area with a 3rd fireplace & a fully equipped entertaining kitchen. Make a splash this summer with your own inground pool with expansive patio! This estate promises enduring quality just 15 minutes from downtown Peoria.
