WOW-your very own slice of paradise, yet still close to all the great shops, restaurants, and activities in downtown St. Charles. This stately brick home sits on 5 acres of land just minutes from St. Charles North High School and the downtown area. Nestled among mature trees and set far back from Route 31, it offers both privacy and convenience. This well-designed home has plenty of space for everyday living and entertaining. The main floor features a formal living room and dining room that connect easily to the large kitchen with an eating area. The kitchen flows into the cozy family room and then into the bright 4-season room. There is also an office and laundry room on the main level. Upstairs, you'll find 4 bedrooms and 2.1 baths, plus there is a large unfinished basement ready for future expansion. One of the best parts of this home is how connected it is to nature. From the 4-season room-and really from every room in the house-you can enjoy peaceful views of the surrounding woods. There is a water purification system as well as a back-up generator.
