29 Retreat Court
South Elgin, IL 60177

There is amazing nature and luxury with every aspect of this property. From the moment you enter the newer 30-lot neighborhood called Retreat on Stony Creek, you'll see a wooded landscape, wide paved streets, and curb/gutters with a natural pond and adjoining walking path on the right. Traversing along Stony Lane the land undulates gently leading up to Retreat Court. 29 Retreat Court is sited on a wooded 1/2 acre walkout lot backing to the private pond and nature area. When you arrive at this fine home, you'll notice the wide concrete driveway and the stainless lighted flagpole proudly flying the Stars and Stripes. The approach to the home's front entry way is elegant with gentle wide steps leading to twin, glazed, cut and beveled glass (ThermaTru) doors with brushed lever hardware. The entry foyer area is a "bang-wow!"... with 15' high ceilings, stunning decor/design including expansive porcelain wood-pattern flooring, and a soaring wall of windows with motorized blinds. Flowing from the foyer is the family/living/great room area with a full stone entertainment wall featuring a storage unit, a cool electric fireplace finished with a large flat TV inset in the stone. A generous double stairway to the lower level is accented by tempered glass railings trimmed with walnut. The ceiling also has custom walnut beams. A nicely decorated powder room completes this part of the home. The living area flows seamlessly into the dining/kitchen area. The kitchen is truly a statement kitchen. All appliances- the dishwasher, huge double freezer-refrigerator, cabinet-microwave, chef-grade double oven with 6-burners plus center grill, warming drawer, super powerful exhaust fan- are all top-of-the-line Thermador. The living area flows into a large curving granite dining island anchored by 4 spots for comfy stools with cabinet storage on the far side. Then there is another granite island housing a cabinet-microwave convection oven and a small oval sink. There is a granite planning center too, with lower and upper cabinets accented with LED lighting strips near the floor and above the top cabinets (islands too). The walk-in corner pantry finishes this amazing chef's entertainment center. The party goers will migrate toward this area every time. The utility room features washer, dryer, cabinets, granite counters and another powder room and connects the kitchen, side service door and garage access. The 2-car garage is amazing too, with beautifully epoxied floors, it's heated, has a wall sink and plenty of cabinets... but the coolest feature is the full-sized power (Phantom) screen, so with the main door open, you can enjoy this space year-round. Back inside the home off the kitchen, there is an amazing sunroom with lots of windows, cathedral walnut paneled ceiling with fan, and access to the deck overlooking the natural pond area. The powered awing shades the deck from the strong afternoon sun. The elegant primary bedroom is off the great room and has direct access to the deck. The primary bath is spa quality with a large custom luxury shower, a huge closet (looks like a department store) private toilet closet and dual granite sinks. The cabinets are mounted off the floor and with the under-cabinet lighting... wow. The other two bedrooms are off the foyer area and are supported by a full hall tub/show bath. The stairway to the lower walkout area is near the foyer and leads to an expansive, ready-to-finish living space with high ceilings. Here, the mechanicals, accordingly, are 1st class... from the HVAC system (air purification filter, blue light anti-virus, whole house dehumidifier), large water heater, softener, sump with backup, AND there is a whole house Generac generator in case ComEd takes a powder. The landscaping is professionally installed with a sprinkler system. All in all, what a package!!
