5 Acres in Woodstock, IL - $724,000

Welcome home to Morning Bell Station. This beautiful 5 acre estate boasts a perfectly maintained home and out building with serene rural views. Impressive curb appeal with freshly sealed circular and side-load driveway, manicured landscaping, and inviting front porch. Even more stunning than the front yard is the absolutely phenomenal back yard views from all 3 levels of the house: acres of rolling hills, a wooded creek area, and evergreen tree backdrop that you'll never grow tired of enjoying. Equestrian enthusiasts look no further, the 35x25 out building could be a horse barn (with electric/water on site) and the Bull Valley Riding Club trail runs across the back end of the property for convenient access to over 50 miles of contiguous riding trails. Guests entering the home are greeted by the cathedral ceiling foyer with chandelier lift motor, hardwood floors, open staircase and catwalk hallway. The formal dining room features lovely wainscoting and crown molding trim work but may only command attention for a moment before being drawn to the incredible living room which has a perfect rear view, vaulted ceiling, brick fireplace, designer fans, and ceiling millwork. The kitchen provides everything a chef desires: maple cabinets, high quality granite countertops, double ovens, backsplash, plenty of pantry space, butler pantry, breakfast bar stools and table space. The master bedroom suite is also located on the main level with multiple closets and an awesome bathroom including full body spraying shower and jetted tub. The kitchen, living room, master bedroom, and screened porch all share picturesque rear views and access to the deck. Look forward to working from home in the spacious office including 2 built-in desks and ample filing cabinets. The side entrance acts as a great mud room area with ceramic tile floor, half bathroom, laundry, and row of closets. Upstairs there are 4 additional bedrooms, one en-suite with a full bathroom, and bonus/5th bedroom has a half bathroom and huge closet. Downstairs the finished walkout basement is ready for work and play with another brick fireplace (this wood burning unit has heat vents going up into the living room above), large family room with wet bar, big exercise room with mirrored closet doors and sauna, an enclosed workshop room with exterior exhaust vent, full bathroom, and two storage/utility rooms. This home has dual zoned HVAC with the furnaces' heat source being hot water from a brand new top of the line boiler which continually circulates throughout the home for instant hot water at all fixtures. Central vacuum, heated garage, 400 amp electric service, BBQ gas line on the deck. The fenced vegetable garden is rabbit/deer proof. The back yard keyhole shaped mow is by choice to support local wildlife and practice golf, the entire lawn could be mowed if desired. This location near Bull Valley is only a 10 minute drive to Woodstock and 15 minute drive to Crystal Lake. Sellers are willing to leave the 240 gallon salt water fish tank including all fish, supplies, and instructions (low maintenance system can be left alone for weeks at a time). Most of the furniture is negotiable. See virtual tour page for photo locations on the floor plan. Sellers are moving out of state due to job relocation, they hate to leave their dream home!
