Welcome to Cary's sought after Harvest Glen neighborhood, an enclave like no other. Nestled in serene unincorporated Lake County, surrounded by conservation land, walking paths and a quiet bend of the Fox River with neighborhood boat dock, homes in this enchanting area are rarely offered at this price. Tucked away high on a cul de sac backing to Lyons Prairie preserve, this impeccable 5 bedroom, 4.1 bath custom built home unassumingly awaits its next appreciative owner. With 3,449 Sf above grade plus an 1,814 SF English basement there is ample room to entertain in style, relax in privacy and live in assurance with state of the art HVAC, smart home technology, advanced water and air filtration systems and a 7800w backup generator with whole house surge protection. Inside you will find a modern open floor plan enriched with clean white millwork and plantation shutters, an abundance of natural light and peaceful nature views from nearly every window. A handsome two-story Foyer is graciously flanked by formal Living and Dining Rooms, while the nearby Home Office features custom crafted walnut cabinetry. Central to the first floor is the two-story Family Room with custom built-in bookshelves, statement brick fireplace, wall of windows and open flowing layout with split staircase and patio walkout. Especially notable is the entertainer's Kitchen, remodeled to tech-savvy perfection in 2019 featuring granite counters, custom milled and organized cabinetry, several 'smart' connected appliances by Wolf / SubZero / Cove (remainder of their warranties convey to buyer!), farmhouse sink with touchless Moen faucet, accent lighting and a walk-in Pantry. Upstairs you'll find an owner's retreat with wooded views, dual professionally finished walk-in closets and private Master Bath elegantly renovated 2020. Spoil yourself with the Moen 'smart' full body spray shower with rainhead, double slipper soaking tub, fogless vanity mirrors and 'smart' heated tile floors. Three additional spacious bedrooms, including one ensuite, plus two full baths round out the 2nd floor. The English lower level offers a 5th Bedroom (currently a workout studio), 4th full bath, a game/media room, and recreation room with wet bar. Two extra large unfinished storage/utility rooms are perfect for seasonal items. For the car enthusiast, the 798 SF heated garage with volume ceilings and car lift is a haven unto itself. Finally, the incredibly private back yard, surrounded by nature, offers the ultimate in outdoor living with the paver patio, kitchen setup (Weber natural gas grill, appliance outlets, granite counters), elevated firepit area with gas start and 3 season enclosed porch. Take advantage of all that Cary has to offer - one of the nation's top 10% school districts, renowned community amenities, quaint downtown with Metra train, and active lifestyle location minutes from several nature preserves and Fox River amenities. ** Note the low property taxes for this area! **
