About the Listing 7626 - 70838,43479

Experience unparalleled craftsmanship and gorgeous finishes in this remarkable luxury property. Set among the beauiful trees and lush landscaping on a full acre in Sycamore's premier Merry Oaks community. This French-inspired estate blends Old World charm with modern comforts and endless attention to detail. The exterior showcases stone, stucco, timber accents, iron balconies, and arched double doors with diamond-glass inlays, creating a striking first impression. A circular drive with brick inlay, stone columns, and custom lighting adds to the property's grand presence. Outdoor living takes center stage with multiple bluestone patios, a dramatic wood-burning stone fireplace, and gated entryways that frame panoramic woodland views. Step inside as the natural light pours into the two-story Great Room, highlighted by a stone fireplace, cedar walls, and tall windows with decorative shutters. The living room features French doors and glass transoms, while the formal dining room offers inspiring ambiance. The gourmet kitchen combines elegance and function with custom cabinetry, granite counters, crystal lighting over a generous island, high-end appliances, and a walk-in pantry/wine cellar. Just off the kitchen, the dinette with atrium door opens to the patio, and the sunroom-with reclaimed beams from an 1840s barn, limestone flooring, stone fireplace, and cupola chandelier-offers a memorable retreat. Additional main-level spaces include a versatile family room with vaulted trusses and wet bar, a light filled breakfast/coffee space, a studio/mudroom with garage access, and a heated 3.5-car garage. Two primary suites create private retreats. The main-floor suite features crown-lit ceilings, wool carpeting, spa bath, and private laundry. The second-floor suite includes a soaking tub, spacious shower, sitting room, and an extraordinary 14-foot walk-in closet with island, shelving, and dual chandeliers and additional large walk in closet and second floor laundry room adding extra convenience. Two junior suites with en suite baths plus a third-level flex area (perfect for office, art studio, game/billiard room) provide versatility. The finished lookout basement includes a second kitchen, fifth bedroom, fifth full bath, recreation and exercise areas, a third stone fireplace, and a children's playhouse all perfect for guests and entertaining. Modern systems include four-zone geothermal heating/cooling, radiant in-floor heating, a whole-home generator, and an elevator serving all three levels. With 8,440 sq. ft. above grade and 3,300 sq. ft. in the lower level, this residence offers nearly 11,740 sq. ft. of custom high end quality living space. Enjoy walking paths, ponds, parkland and wooded trails all just steps from home. A rare opportunity to own one of Sycamore's most impressive estates-thoughtfully designed, impeccably built, and surrounded by natural beauty.
