Lake Home Off Market

Missing that spa retreat that you can only escape to once a year and then spend your future reminiscing and anxiously awaiting the next get away? This is all of that and more because you get to call this beautiful getaway "home"! Perfectly placed in Palos Park, this "one-of-a-kind" mansion features a tin roof and reclaimed finds from the Czech Lodge Resort. The true definition of serenity. Milwaukee Harp Lights from the 1920's illuminate the commanding hotel style circle drive for guests. Private 4 car garage entry tucked on the side. Lush landscaping provides a walkway to the custom paved, covered, terracotta - surround, front porch. Soaring 2-story foyer welcomes you to the den spilling sunshine from large leaded glass, roundel windows at every angle. Columns and pillars adorn the entries and Arlen-Jacobs Staircase signifying the strength and beauty of the space. Definitely room for the masses with 2 chandeliers and an "angelic" cherub fireplace with limestone mantle that is sure to warm even the chilliest evenings. Hardwoods continue into the elegant formal dining room. A chef's kitchen paradise with dual sinks, a ginormous Viking cooktop, and 2 ovens complete with 6 burners. A plethora of granite counters and cherry cabinets including a center island and 2 pantries. Who doesn't want every meal option to be fireside! Wrap around breakfast bar leads you to the beamed cathedral family room complete with floor to ceiling stone fireplace and overlooking loft. This probably beats your hotel lodge. Add a sunroom, a parlor style game room, a library and oh yeah, your own solarium with pergola and plant shower! A different tranquil experience for every day of the week! Your turndowns are magnificent with two master suites (one being main level). A jetted tub, separate shower with 3 shower heads, personal vanity, marble tile, cedar lit closets, a balcony and a fireplace. Even the walkout basement is BOSS! Enter through 2 oak doors from Riverside Public Library to the full size bar, built from a single ash tree. Pamper yourself in the steam room, an exercise room, a wine cellar for a party of 6, and a root cellar (which doubles as a vault and safe room). Private 1.5 acre lot with wrap around porch, separate screened deck, and bar area. A little TLC could bring back the in ground pool/bath house and full-size tennis court...literally ever box checked. And unlike your vacation retreat the only guests are yours, there's no "resort fee" for amenities, and you never have to leave!
