Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the desirable Thorngate subdivision, this stunning 6,308 square foot custom home sits on a private, wooded 0.97-acre lot. From the moment you enter the dramatic two-story foyer, the exceptional quality and craftsmanship of this exquisite home are immediately evident. The step-down living room features a striking stone fireplace, while the formal dining room showcases custom millwork -- perfect for elegant entertaining. The spacious gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, complete with granite countertops, a center island, walk-in pantry, butler's pantry, and buffet bar. High-end stainless steel appliances include a Dacor double oven, Miele dishwasher, and Sub-Zero wine cooler. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the family room, which offers soaring ceilings and a ventless fireplace with an updated custom mantle. A private office on the main level features a built-in library wall with a rolling ladder-ideal for working from home. The first-floor primary suite impresses with a tray ceiling and a completely remodeled (2024) European-style spa bath featuring a steam shower, standing tub, vaulted ceiling, quartz double vanity, and oversized walk-in shower. Ascend either the elegant bridal staircase or the convenient back staircase to the second floor, where you'll find four additional bedrooms, three beautifully updated baths, and a versatile bonus room. The fully finished English basement offers radiant heated floors, new carpet, a spacious recreation room, an impressive theater room with tiered seating, an exercise room, a full bath, and a hidden "secret room" tucked behind the staircase. Recent improvements include: New roof and gutters (2024); two new hot water heaters (2017); three new furnaces and A/C units (2016); fresh paint throughout; and most closets professionally organized by Closets by Design. Car enthusiasts will appreciate the attached four-car garage. Enjoy peaceful outdoor living in your private, wooded backyard featuring two decks and a concrete patio. All this, plus a fabulous location in the award-winning Deerfield school districts.
