2S176 Essex Rd.

Cross the bridge to Springbrook Farm, the last privately held farm in Wheaton when the current owners purchased the property, consisting of 8 acres each with a separate pin number. An original Sears Kit Farmhouse had to be leveled and a new Farmhouse was built in 2019. The owners took considerable care in creating a home for their large family. Please see the list under "additional documents" to learn why the curating of the home took a full year before construction began. The land and the home are unique - we are unaware of anything comparable in the Wheaton area. This custom designed home features a front porch with a charming wood ceiling and has a casual, open layout. Quarter sawn 5" white oak hardwood floors run throughout most of the home starting at the foyer. The kitchen boasts an expansive island with seating for six, extensive cabinetry, quartz and butcher block counter tops, maple hardwood open shelves currated from a tree on the property, all high end stainless appliances including a top of the line commerical grade Wolf range and a huge walk in pantry. A dining area offers stunning views and significant natural light with windows on two sides and a slider to the beautiful brick paver patio. Adjacent is the great room with extensive windows and a lovely wood stove. A flex room currently used for home schooling could also accomodate a home office or main level bedroom. With a full bath next to it, this area could be perfert for cross generational living. Down the hall find a good size mudroom with built in "lockers", a large closet and access to the garage and backyard. On the second level, the master suite is exquisite. The views from the bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, a luxury bath with dual vanities, separate soaker tub and shower and the awesome walk in closet - this space will be a favorite private oasis. Two bedrooms share a jack and jill bath and the fourth bedroom has an ajacent full bath. Don't miss the children's reading center with its inviting setee and shelves of books tucked back in the corner of the hallway. Second floor laundry at the top of the stairs offers additional space for a craft or wrapping room. The deep pour full English basement is unfinished and has entertained family and friends with lots of room for a jump house, play and television areas. It is plumbed for a full bath. The water conditioning system is superior. Dual zoned HVAC provides excellent temperature control throughout the home. Note the custom height, solid wood doors, upgraded trim package and lovely finishes such as in the pantry and closets. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in the execution of this beloved home is flawless. Low unincorporated property taxes with seven lots zoned farm use is a wonderful benefit. There are raised garden beds, a chicken coop, goat enclosure and plenty of room to build a barn or other outbuilding. Be prepared to be astounded by the charm and beauty of Springbrook Farm.
