Set on a serene 3/4-acre lot, this custom-built, single-owner residence blends privacy, space, and thoughtful updates into one exceptional home. Offering 4,657 square feet, five bedrooms, and four full baths, there's room here for everyone to live, work, and play in comfort. A long private drive welcomes you to a setting that feels tucked away, yet just minutes from schools, shops, and downtown Downers Grove. Inside, natural light pours into the living and dining rooms through bay windows, while the family room's gas fireplace creates a cozy gathering spot. The first-floor bedroom and adjacent full bath are ideal for guests or in-law living. At the heart of the home, the newly renovated (2024) eat-in kitchen impresses with quartz countertops, a quartz island, Italian cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and under-cabinet lighting. A new sliding door opens to the expansive deck-perfect for outdoor dining and enjoying the beautiful backyard. Upstairs, the generous bedrooms include a striking primary suite with cathedral ceilings, custom vestier, and a spa-inspired bath with granite finishes, walk-in shower, and dual laundry access. The fully finished walkout basement is designed for entertaining and versatility, featuring 9-foot ceilings, a second full kitchen, theater room, rec space, second pantry, wine nook, full bath, and direct access to the brick patio and backyard retreat. Additional highlights include extra-wide staircases, skylights with blinds, two laundry rooms, and a 3-car oversized garage. Major upgrades ensure peace of mind: new fiberglass windows (2024), Hardie siding (2023), roof (2020), and furnace (2019). From quiet mornings on the deck to movie nights in the theater room, 4522 Lee Street is more than a home-it's a lifestyle. Don't miss this unique opportunity in Downers Grove!
