This is not the same home it once was! A major 2018 renovation transformed it from top to bottom-including a brand-new 2-story addition, updated roof, plumbing, electrical, zoned HVAC systems, and a finished 9' basement with a half bath. Upstairs, you'll find all four bedrooms and three full bathrooms thoughtfully arranged on one level. The primary suite features a spacious walk-in closet and a stunning en suite bath with a double vanity and an oversized 5'x5' shower. A second bedroom has its own private bath, while the remaining two bedrooms share a nicely updated hall bath. The main level was designed for seamless living and entertaining. The open-concept kitchen flows directly into the family room, creating a central gathering space that's both functional and inviting. You'll find white shaker cabinets, white granite countertops, a large center island, and high-end appliances-including a 5-burner stove, range hood, and double oven. The adjacent family room includes a custom alder wood bar with a wine/beverage fridge, ideal for entertaining or everyday convenience. That same alder cabinetry continues into the built-in cubbies at the rear entry for a cohesive and polished look. Formal and informal dining spaces flank the kitchen, giving you flexibility for hosting and everyday use. Hardwood floors run throughout the main level, with natural light pouring in from both eastern and western exposures. Outside, enjoy the professionally landscaped, fenced-in backyard with a paver patio, firepit, and playground area. The 3-car garage offers plenty of storage, with the third bay ideal for bikes, tools, or extra gear. Located just blocks from Copeland Elementary, downtown Libertyville, and the North Shore bike trail-this home is a true standout in both style and substance.
