4953 N German Church Rd, Byron, IL 61010

Beautiful home near Byron, IL on 15 partially wooded acres. This custom built home is nestled against ~6 acres of mature Oak, Hickory, and Cherry trees and fronted by ~9 acres of pasture. Privacy is assured by a long hard-surface driveway leading back to the secluded home site.Past the brick courtyard at the front of the house, a solid Mahogany round-top door greets you at the entrance. As you enter the foyer you will see the high-efficiency fireplace (actually a BIS Panorama woodstove with a catalytic combuster and blower, built by Security Chimneys International of Canada) in the formal living room with its 10' ceiling. New designer carpeting was just installed last summer throughout the home. Two 8' custom Maple round top doors lead you into the 21'x17' great room with huge glass windows on 3 walls, 10' beamed ceiling, Maple floor, and fireplace (again, a Le Laval built by Security with a blower and air distribution kit) capped with a beautiful custom solid Maple mantle.The formal dining room has a 12' ceiling with crown molding, Maple floor, and a large round top window with a magnificent view to the West. Arches and rounded corners throughout the home give it unique charm and warmth.The custom kitchen with its 20" floor tiles has Cherry cabinets with a 'chocolate cherry glaze' finish. The breakfast area offers a view of the wooded backyard through a glass patio door leading to the 12'x16' Cedar deck with iron balusters.The master suite with its tray ceiling has a tiled bathroom with walk-in closet, Jacuzzi tub, double-sink vanity, and large shower with glass doors. Two bedrooms with another full bath are located at the other end of the home.The first floor laundry room offers a convenient entry into the attached 3 car garage. The unfinished basement has plumbing roughed in for an additional full bath.Outbuildings consist of a heated 30x40 shop and a 16x40 restored vintage barn. Both are wired with electric and internet. The shop and garage are insulated and finished along with painted floors. The barn presently has one stall along with a hayloft, water, corral, and fenced pasture. There is room for more stalls and everything is ready for horses if you wish. Hay is no problem as there is currently an arrangement for baling the pasture on shares.Trails lead through the woods to an isolated campsite complete with an enclosed tree house. Cut your own firewood (free heat), gather wild black raspberries and blackberries, and watch the deer and wild turkeys wander through the backyard.Additional property info: http://www.forsalebyowner.com/listing/3-bed-Single-Family-home-for-sale-by-owner-4953-North-German-Church-Road-61010/23927338?provider_id=28079
