Rarely does a significant opportunity present itself with such distinction. Every imaginable detail of 4500 Downers Drive has been painstakingly attended to throughout the over 10,000 sq.ft. of opulent living and entertaining space. The impressive 30' ceiling in the foyer hints at the grandeur of the estate. One is immediately drawn into the main living space and its stunning 18' soaring exposed beam architecture which is bathed in light and opens to one of the outdoor spaces as well as the music room. Quickly the 8' solid doors, exquisitely crafted custom millwork/trim, and bespoke detailing become apparent. The dramatic library showcases substantial built-ins and the first of 5 fireplaces. From the adjacent dining room with detailed woodwork, a butler's pantry leads to a spacious gourmet kitchen featuring the best of everything: A 48 Dacor range, 2 SubZero refrigerators, 2 beverage refrigerators, walk-in pantry, island with prep sink, multiple dining areas, and abundant classic cabinetry. The first-floor primary suite offers a sense of both majesty and serenity with soaring 15' custom tray ceilings, a breakfast bar, stunning stone fireplace, and sweeping views of the grounds. Meticulous attention to detail is presented in the luxurious spa-inspired bathroom with elegant tile detailing. A first floor laundry room is conveniently located just down from the 4+ car garage. A second family room, additional primary suite, and auxiliary laundry room await on the upper level. All bedrooms are en suite and feature walk-in closets with custom built-ins. The lower level is an entertainment haven. The spectacular theater room includes a custom ceiling inspired by the Titanic, 11 FirstClass recliner viewing seats, and fireplace. Additionally, an 11' full swing golf simulator, arcade alley, climate-controlled wine/spirits cellar with custom tile work, Irish-themed bar with dishwasher/ice maker, copper-style ceiling, billiard space, and additional lounge create a showpiece like no other. A fitness center and additional en suite guest quarters complete this level. An elevator leads to all 3 floors of living space, including an additional 4th stop at garage level to facilitate transporting entertainment supplies for hosting. Outside, the expansive resort-like pool surrounds you with multiple levels of patio that create intimate pockets of solitude in an otherwise massive 1.3 acre retreat. Complimenting the pool is a waterslide, grotto, and one of the most dramatic solariums ever to grace a private residence. Featuring an oversized wood fireplace, this area is designed to be used all year. For those who appreciate and want it ALL, this home is simply irreplaceable at this sought-after location and price.

An exceptional, contemporary home which was dramatically reimagined with a meticulous renovation and addition in 2019. Offering a private and beautiful setting in Oak Brook overlooking the Butterfield Country Club Golf Course, this fashionable entertainer's home has it all: turnkey interiors, custom finishes and a sweeping outdoor space with a newer saltwater pool and pool patio. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the home with bright, south-facing natural light as rolling hills and golf course views can be enjoyed from every room. While the design palette was kept transitional and elegantly streamlined, many of the home's original architectural details were kept intact or restored. The thoughtfully conceived floorplan flows easily from the formal living room with a stone feature wall and fireplace to the open dining room, the huge open kitchen and family room with its stunning curvature and wall of windows, making it one of the home's most inviting spaces to lounge and relax. Destined to be timeless, the white-on-white remodeled Chef's kitchen features custom cabinets and marble countertops, a large island with ample storage and luxury appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Wolf range, convection/steam oven, and warming drawer. A large butler's pantry connects to the kitchen and offers custom cabinetry, marble countertops and a wine cooler. Attuned to today's work-from-home lifestyle, the primary bedroom offers an en-suite office, dual closets and a luxurious spa bath as its curved exterior wall lends itself to another wall of windows looking out onto the golf course. Four out of the five bedrooms - all incredibly spacious - have golf course views and generous walk-in closets. There is abundant closet space throughout the home, including two large basement storage areas and an oversized three-car attached garage. Careful attention to detail permeates throughout the home. All baths have been updated. The finest materials and finishes give the home a bespoke quality. Hardwood throughout, plush designer carpeting in two bedrooms, Restoration Hardware vanities and lighting, plus a Sonos sound system have all been masterfully combined to create a stylish living and entertaining environment that won't soon be forgotten. A newer roof and meticulously maintained mechanicals will also be passed down to the next homeowner. Acclaimed schools, including Brook Forest Elementary, Blue Ribbon Butler Junior High and Hinsdale Central High, further elevate the offering while a location only 30 minutes from Chicago puts everything the city has to offer within easy commuting distance.
