Perfectly positioned just one block from the storybook setting of Lake Ellyn Park, this extraordinary PJ Murphy custom residence is a masterful blend of timeless elegance, exceptional craftsmanship, and modern luxury. Offering over 5,800 square feet of beautifully curated living space, the home unfolds with warmth, sophistication, and a sense of effortless grandeur. Sunlit living spaces, rich architectural details, and impeccable finishes create an atmosphere equally suited for intimate evenings at home and memorable gatherings with family and friends.

Thoughtfully designed for both culinary creativity and everyday connection, it features a substantial center island, professional-grade Viking and Thermador appliances, Sub-Zero refrigeration, custom cabinetry, and exquisite attention to detail throughout. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen, the inviting family room offers a warm fireplace, tray ceiling, and tranquil views of the lush, wooded grounds beyond.

The second level offers five generously sized bedrooms and convenient laundry facilities, while the versatile third-floor suite provides endless possibilities as a private office, artist's studio, fitness retreat, media room, guest quarters, or nanny suite. Designed for both relaxation and celebration, the basement is an entertainer's dream. Gather around the handsome wooden bar, enjoy movie and game nights in the expansive recreation spaces, host overnight guests with ease, and showcase your collection in the impressive 1,300-bottle wine cellar.
