Tucked away in one of Naperville's most beloved communities, this extraordinary 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is a story of care, craftsmanship, and quiet luxury lovingly held by one family since it was custom built in 1988. Now, for the first time ever, it's being offered to the market: a rare chance to own one of the crown jewels of Knoch Knolls. Set on a lush, oversized lot wrapped in mature trees, this home is equal parts retreat and entertainer's dream. Step into a backyard sanctuary where a tranquil pond hums with the sound of a waterfall, raised garden beds await your summer harvest, and evenings unfold by the fire pit under a canopy of stars. A beautiful 5' black aluminum fence encircles the yard, offering security for pets and play, while the custom playset and smart irrigation system add both charm and convenience. Inside, the home reveals 4000 square feet of elevated yet approachable design. The sunken family room is a showstopper, anchored by a two-story vaulted ceiling and a dramatic solid walnut feature wall, bookmatched from floor to ceiling and paired with a custom-built cable-free media setup. A cozy fireplace warms the space, which flows seamlessly into a bright, tiled three-season sunroom, the perfect place to watch the seasons change in comfort. The kitchen is a chef's canvas: thoughtfully remodeled with leathered granite countertops, Bosch induction range, double Thermador ovens, and four unique prep and entertaining zones-including a wet bar, a dry bar, and an oversized island designed for gathering. Just off the kitchen, the formal dining room is dressed in custom paintwork and elegant wainscoting, ready to host your most memorable celebrations. Need a main-floor bedroom or office? You'll find a flexible space with its own fireplace, closet, and easy access to a full bath, ideal for guests, in-laws, or focused work-from-home days. The main-floor laundry room is tiled, functional, and includes exterior access for ultimate utility. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private haven. With vaulted ceilings, a brick fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and a bonus room flooded with natural light, it's the perfect blend of scale and comfort. The en suite bath offers granite countertops, a jetted tub, and separate shower, designed for winding down after long days. Three additional bedrooms each feature engineered hardwoods, walk-in closets, and charming architectural details, including a built-in reading nook that begs for books and imagination. Even the basement has undergone a total glow-up: new carpet, fresh paint, a new drop ceiling, and endless possibility. Whether you envision a theater, game room, home gym, or creative studio, it's ready for whatever life brings. Notable updates include a new roof, gutters, and skylights (2021), three completely refinished fireplaces with custom walnut mantles, an upgraded garage with industrial lighting and storage, and smart home features throughout. Ethernet ports, mesh Wi-Fi compatibility, and attic-mounted HD antennas ensure modern connectivity without sacrificing charm. Located on a peaceful, no-thru street just a few minutes' walk to Spring Brook Elementary, Knoch Knolls Nature Center, the DuPage River, and top-rated Neuqua Valley High School, this home is deeply embedded in the heart of Naperville's most vibrant, nature-rich neighborhood. With timeless design, a serene setting, and a history of thoughtful care, it offers a rare opportunity to step into something truly special. For the first time, it's ready to welcome its next chapter.
