$514,900 Riverwoods 3BR 2.5BA, Thorngate?a luxurious subdivision in Riverwoods, Illinois

Thorngate?a luxurious subdivision located within the prestigious North Shore village of Riverwoods just minutes to downtown Chicago expressways and O?Hare airport! Nestled upon the sprawling lush grounds of a former 151 acre country club golf course, this wonderful community consists of only 289 single family homes including 76 custom estates. And all of these exceptional homes are beautifully situated on pretty winding streets and cul-de-sacs creating an intimate neighborhood feel all the while preserving much of the greenery and majestic towering trees original to the land. Dramatic vaulted ceilings and a fabulous open floor plan are the hallmarks of this popular all-on-one-floor Waterford model. And this ranch, with its spectacular professional landscaping bursting with color, enjoys a premium, upgraded location overlooking open lands filled with mature trees. An attractive beveled glass door opens to a large, gallery-like foyer defined by attractive pillars. Both the living room and dining room combine for a fantastic wide open feel and boast dramatic volume ceilings and oversized windows with panoramic wooded views everywhere. The gourmet kitchen has more vaulted ceilings and also opens to the magnificent family room. 42? cabinets abound and there is a large center island and convenient planning center. An inviting fireplace is the highlight of the adjacent family room and a wall full of transomed windows overlook and open to the extra-large patio and oh-so private backyard. Three bedrooms are located in the west wing of the home, two with accompanying baths; one could make an ideal office if desired. The master suite has a big walk-in organized closet and a spa-like bath including a glass-enclosed shower and Jacuzzi. A full-sized laundry room is also located in this area. The enormous lower level is perfect for all your storage needs or could easily be finished to include a home theater, exercise room and more. There are deep, 9? ceilings and a roughed in bath as well. Hardwood floors and recessed lighting are throughout much of the home. This beauty has been perfectly maintained both inside & out and the exterior has recently been freshly painted. A perfect blend of mint, turn-key condition and a prime location within an established and sought-after community combine to make this one floor living at its best!
