Nestled on a private & serene 1.25 acre lot still within minutes of desirable shopping & dining on Randall Rd. and all that beautiful downtown St. Charles has to offer makes 3N946 Babson Lane a WIN, WIN! Not only do you get the best of both worlds from a lot and location standpoint, but this home is truly ONE OF A KIND. Built with intention and longevity in mind, this custom built 2 story home features masonry architecture that will stand the test of time, including an all brick stunning exterior and concrete floors with radiant heat throughout the main & upper levels of the home. Upon entry, you'll be greeted by a curved staircase and connection to the formal dining to your left, and a living room to your right both with custom touches throughout. Off the dining room is access to what was intended to be a Butler's pantry, but also functions as a 'safe room' with all four walls being in concrete rebar. Through the Butler's pantry, you'll land in the sprawling kitchen with large windows overlooking the incredible backyard - soak in sunrises and sunset views year round! Off the kitchen is access to the attached 2.5 car garage, nearby laundry room, and 1/2 bath. An exterior door off the laundry room leads out to the elongated covered back patio that over looks the 1.25 acre lot which includes an 1,800sf garden complete with a fresh water source from the home dedicated for your yearly plantings! Also off the covered patio is access to the BONUS garage! With an overhead door tall enough to accommodate your boat, RV, etc. and extra depth, this is a perk you'd be hard pressed to find in another home! Heading back indoors, off the kitchen and back patio if the well lit fireside living room with soaring ceilings and a library/office off of it as well. Last, but certainly not least on the main floor is a FULL in-law suite complete with a private exterior entrance, a kitchen, full bathroom, laundry room (that also is plumbed for a toilet), fireside bedroom w/ walk-in closet & exterior access to back yard. Upstairs you'll find a loft space, 2 additional bedrooms each with en suite bathrooms and generous closets, as well as a hallway location for laundry plus storage/utility room. The bones of this home are so special and not easily replicable, nor common in today's world of construction. This is a fantastic opportunity to take a blank slate into your dream home!
