Overview

Welcome to this remarkably stunning log cabin retreat, perfectly situated on a sprawling 2.75 acres with tree line views and direct access to a forest preserve. This home combines rustic charm with modern upgrades, offering a peaceful escape while maintaining everyday convenience. Step inside to a grand great room with vaulted ceilings, new hardwood floors (2017), recessed can lighting, updated ceiling fans (2017), and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a gas starter and wood-burning option. The dining room features sliding glass doors that open to a spacious deck overlooking the private backyard. The kitchen has been beautifully updated with knotty alder soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, a matching backsplash, pantry with pull-out drawers, an island, a convection microwave, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances (2024). A main-floor laundry room offers convenience with a newer utility sink topped with Corian, a new light fixture (2023), and an LG washer and dryer set installed in 2024. The main level includes two bedrooms with newer carpet and an updated full hall bath featuring a new vanity with quartz countertops, new shower doors, tile, faucets, and light fixtures. Upstairs, a custom pine railing leads to an open loft with skylights, and the spacious primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, a cedar-lined walk-in closet, and a private bath with a jetted tub, quartz vanity (2019), new tub hardware, and modern fixtures. The full basement provides incredible potential with 9-foot ceilings. Recent mechanical upgrades include a fully updated boiler system with new electronics and all three pumps replaced (2023), a tankless water heater (2023), a well pressure tank (2023), and an owned water softener (2023). The exterior is just as impressive, with professional landscaping and added maple and spruce trees. A three-inch paver stone walkway and front patio lead to a welcoming front porch accented by recessed lighting. The long gravel driveway with metal edging leads to the heated two-car garage with 11-foot ceilings, epoxy flooring, shelving, and new overhead doors and openers (2024). Out back, the deck provides a perfect spot to take in the peaceful tree line views. Additional highlights include: the entire home freshly stained in 2024, pine interior wood sanded and refinished with two coats of stain, interior paint completed within the last five years, and new window treatments throughout the whole home. This property is the perfect blend of rustic log cabin living and modern comfort-offering privacy, space, and unmatched views in a one-of-a-kind setting.
