Stunning Thornwood home offered at reduced price

SOUTH ELGIN -- This week's feature is a gorgeous Georgian-styled two-story home in the upscale Thornwood neighborhood of South Elgin.

The property is located along a bike path and overlooks a pond and open nature area filled with a variety of wildlife.

Inside the home, the fluted millwork on the doorways and vaulted ceilings are a testament to the quality of workmanship in the home. Sold "as is" on a short sale, the home offers an incredible value to the right buyer.

The two-story foyer reveals a sweeping open staircase to the second floor. Cherry wood flooring leads from the foyer to the kitchen, where white appliances, a center island and a large pantry can be found. A cook's-dream kitchen, there is even a butler's pantry providing extra utility storage and counter space for entertaining.

The family room adjoins the kitchen and offers vaulted ceilings, lush carpeting and a cozy fireplace. The view of the natural surroundings from the family room windows will be a comfort for years to come.

The first floor also includes an office; a dramatic, red-walled dining room; and a formal living room painted in a soft, welcoming green tone. Plantation blinds on all windows of the lower floor provide a cohesive theme in each room and add a crisp freshness against the warm paint colors.

Upstairs, a spacious loft could serve as a sitting area, game room or media center. Three large bedrooms plus the master suite are located on this level.

The vaulted ceiling and massive walk-in closed make the master bedroom a great place for the family breadwinner. The attached luxury bath includes ceramic flooring, an oval jet tub, a pristine glass shower and double vanity sinks for convenience.

For more information about this lovely residence, or to arrange a private tour, call Laurel Teafoe at Coldwell Banker Primus Realty at (630) 939-3939.
