Prepare to spread out with unobstructed views of the Pecatonica countryside in this custom-built beauty. Enter through Borano mahogany double doors into a grand estate expansive enough for multi-generational living. On the main level, you will discover the cathedral ceiling great room, a palatial primary suite, formal dining room, guest bedroom, laundry, full bath, and powder room. The expansive kitchen really shows up for the party with all BOSCH SS appliances including double wall ovens, 5 burner cooktop, extra deep counters with massive island workstation, walk-in pantry, reverse osmosis water, and even a glass rinser. Nearby you'll find a full bath, massive laundry, 2.5 car garage with workbench. The great room is a standout space with a wall of windows overlooking the deck, a custom fireplace, and views across the surrounding property. Upstairs are two generously sized bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a loft-style family room that opens to the same incredible views. A full walkout lower level creates a second suite of luxurious living. The recreation room is equipped with a custom fireplace, walls of windows, hidden bookcase storage area, and well-designed drop ceilings. The second kitchen has a copper hammered sink, custom backsplash, built-ins, walk-in pantry, and beverage refrigerator. There is a bonus room near the kitchen that would make a great office or billiards room. Enjoy the full bath with clawfoot tub and high-tank toilet complete with heated floors and towel warmer. The in-law suite offers plenty of space to spread out and furnished with a walk-in closet to be jealous of! The lower level opens to an approximately 1,000-square-foot stamped concrete patio. Outside is where the property really opens up. The 2,100-square-foot wraparound deck gives you plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors including views of fireworks every summer. A second private deck off the kitchen is perfect for that morning cup of coffee to enjoy the orchard views. Approximately 15 acres provide room for gardens, recreation, entertaining, and privacy. The grounds include mature trees, open lawn, established garden beds, perennial flowers and shrubs, a formal front garden, 7-foot fountain, and cedar swing. A picturesque flagstone walkway and stone steps lead from the backyard to an established orchard producing apples, grapes, pears, plums, peaches, and blueberries.
