Property Description
Sauganash Rare Find! This stunning English Manor home, set on two expansive lots, offers unparalleled charm and privacy. Enclosed by wrought iron fencing and a long gated side drive, the property features lush, professionally landscaped grounds with mature trees, vibrant gardens, a rock garden, two patios, and a sparkling pool. Custom moonlighting and up-lighting highlight the beauty day and night, while an underground sprinkler system ensures everything stays picture-perfect. A true urban oasis, this gorgeous, private retreat is surrounded by nature and within city limits. Inside, timeless architectural details abound: solid wood doors, oak floors, elegant cove ceilings, Palladian windows, wainscoting, and custom paint finishes. The grand covered portico opens to a marble entry foyer. Step through double French doors into a sunlit living room featuring an elegant gas fireplace and an adjoining, sun-filled main-level office. The banquet-sized dining room with wood beam ceilings is perfect for hosting. The gourmet kitchen, a dream for both cooking and entertaining, boasts a large island with seating, ample cabinetry, newer stainless steel appliances (including two dishwashers, a built-in oven with a warming drawer, and a custom cooktop hood), two sinks, and a veggie sink in the island. A sunny breakfast room and a spectacular first-floor family room with cathedral ceilings, a second gas fireplace, and panoramic windows complete the space. The newly added mudroom and back entry provide seamless access to the yard, large covered patio, and in-ground pool. Upstairs, the master suite is a serene escape with a spa-like bath featuring a Jacuzzi tub, separate shower, and custom built-in storage. The second bedroom and full guest bath are generously sized, while the third and fourth bedrooms are tandem, creating a cozy sitting area overlooking the yard. The expanded lower level offers a second family room, a wet bar, an additional powder room, laundry area, ample storage, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar. Notable updates include a new tear-off roof (2023) with MasterShield gutter guards, freshly decorated interiors, a 2025 Space Pack AC and heat system with three-zone AC and two boilers, and an internet-controlled garage, cameras, security system, and electronic gate access. The electrical system has been upgraded to 200 amps. This is a rare opportunity to own one of Sauganash's most iconic homes on a breathtaking property totaling 15,875 sq. ft. across two lots with separate PINs. Don't miss it!

Explore Sauganash
A close-knit residential community with large, gracious homes situated near parks and forest preserves, Sauganash is one of Chicago's most desirable neighborhoods for peace and quiet, without straying too far from city life. Sauganash is truly a refreshing respite from the congested and noisy streets that typify a busy metropolis like Chicago. Miles of woodland, mountain biking trails, flora and fauna are all at your disposal, just around the corner from your front door. Of course, the neighborhood blocks are much less rustic than the surrounding wildness. Manicured, sidewalk-lined lanes house beautiful English Tudors, Cape Cods, Georgian architecture and brick bungalow-style residences. Plus, the commercial corridors that cut through Sauganash supply residents with an assortment of shopping, dining and convenient services.
