5 N156 Dunham Rd, Wayne, IL 60184

Unusual opportunity with an access point off Dunham Rd AND Fletcher Rd, behind barn. This gives easy access to barn or house from two entry points! Mature oaks welcome you to this lovely 5 acre estate, with lighted tennis and basketball court. Any PICKLEBALL lover will love the potential for entertaining here! Horse lovers will appreciate the 4-stall barn with workshop (electricity and bathroom) and acreage. Let's talk about this barn - how about making this a pickleball house, complete with bathroom and lounge area, or a guest house! Opportunity awaits, even if you aren't a horse owner. The outdoor entertaining and activity space is incredible, but when you walk inside the home, you'll realize the true quality of construction it has to offer. Beautiful finishes and craftsmanship with freshly painted, neutral colors, make it easy to move right in. Spacious kitchen and breakfast area, large family room, living room, dining, sunroom, and beautifully built-in library/office are all on the main floor. One welcome surprise in this floor plan is the GUEST SUITE on the main level. You may even be tempted to make this your primary bedroom. It's been beautifully done with neutral/updated tile in the adjoining bath, and it blends seamlessly into the rest of the home. A wonderful working laundry room is steps away and leads into the garage, along with a second set of staircases. The primary suite is luxurious, with high ceilings and beautiful, tall windows that allow for gorgeous lighting to stream in. A fireplace warms you as you enjoy quiet time in your sanctuary. However in this space, you'll have to choose your sanctuary . . . besides the enormity of this suite and the generous closets, there is a sunroom with a balcony! The views to the expansive property are just incredible. The primary bath is neutral and updated with current tile and finishes, and it has everything you'd want for a spa experience in your private bath. One bedroom has access to its own bath, while the other two have a jack-n-jill that connects to SO many possibilities. The bonus room. This space will consume you. It can be a recreation room, bedroom - easily done, and has a massive closet and connected to a bathroom and also has a back staircase that leads down to the breezeway area outside laundry and out to garage. This is also great for a relative (you know - that college kid that's moved home and needs to fly the nest) or nanny. The size is incredibly generous and is basically the same space you'd have if the basement were finished. The basement is full sized, not finished, so it's waiting for your taste and ideas to take over! So much potential and a bath and kitchen is already plumbed and ready AND radiant heat in basement and garage. 2 hot water heaters, well pressure holding tank, 400 amp electrical service, 3 sump pumps, reverse osmosis to ice maker and fridge, truss joint construction for silent floors. Well and septic just inspected in February 2024, so no worries there. New radon mitigation installed in February 2024, as well. Intercom. Walk-in closets, skylights in bonus room, providing generous light. Such a peaceful and lovely property and so convenient to everything St Charles, Geneva, Bartlett has to offer, and a perfect spot for train access to Bartlett, West Chicago or Geneva. Of course you get the Wayne experience, which is truly quaint and inviting.
