About this home

Live beautifully in this exceptionally maintained home in beloved Chestnut Corners-one of Lexington Homes' signature communities and still one of the most popular neighborhoods in Lake Zurich. A dramatic two-story foyer and family room create an airy, sun-splashed first impression, while diagonal hardwood floors bring warmth and elegance to the entry, living room, dining room, and private study. The renovated, thoughtfully reimagined kitchen is a showstopper: 42" Shaker cabinetry with crown tops, granite counters, pendant-lit breakfast bar, stainless appliances (including a Thermador dual-fuel range, KitchenAid refrigerator and oven, and newer Miele dishwasher), a stone-finish backsplash with mosaic border, recessed lighting, and a charming greenhouse window. The spacious dining area features an atrium door to the yard, custom window seat, curio shelves, floor-to-ceiling bookcase, coffee bar, and a lighted ceiling fan. The gorgeous volume family room offers double-stacked windows and white millwork framing the fireplace. The separate living and dining rooms are ideal for entertaining with crown molding in the living room and crystal accented chandelier in the dining room. French doors in the living room lead to the study with a bay window and deep ledge. The updated powder room includes a granite-top vanity, framed mirror, and crown molding. A custom-designed drop zone with shoe storage, coat hooks, and elevated cubbies keeps everything organized. Upstairs, the vaulted primary suite boasts multiple closets including a walk-in. The refreshed primary bath includes Shaker cabinetry, stone top vanity, skylight, oversized shower with bench and clear glass enclosure, polished nickel fixtures, handheld spray, soaking tub, and stylish lighting. The renovated hall bath impresses with a huge subway-tile shower with bench, black mosaic border, polished nickel fixtures, a black-and-white stone vanity top, maple cabinetry, and black mosaic flooring. Three additional bedrooms are generously sized with excellent closets and overhead lighting or ceiling fans. The finished basement-with LVP flooring, recessed lighting, built-ins, closets, and a bright laundry center-offers flexible space for a home gym, recreation area, or hobby room, plus abundant storage. Major updates provide peace of mind: 2024 furnace, AC, water softener and humidifier; newer windows (some 2020); newer sliding glass door; sump pump and backup (2023); ejector pump (2025). The large backyard features a patio, mature trees, manicured landscaping, and room to relax or entertain. Ideally located near the ballfield, a few blocks from the park within the neighborhood, and minutes to shopping, dining, theater, fitness clubs, parks, and convenient access roads in every direction. This is a truly special home in a truly special community. YES! We welcome showings!
