5285 Goldenrod Dr., Oswego, IL 60543

This residence sits on a full acre in front of a protected forest preserve - lush, private, and guaranteed never to be touched. The result is year-round natural beauty, unmatched privacy, and fantastic views that make this home feel like a retreat. Welcome to luxury living in Oswego's prestigious Old Reserve Hills - a home so feature-rich and finely crafted it could not be built today for this price. This residence is unlike anything else on the market, with insanely valuable features you simply won't find together anywhere else. From the moment you arrive, the stamped concrete front patio and elegant French doors set the stage for timeless sophistication. Step through the foyer and into the grand living room, where an 18' ceiling, soaring Kolbe windows, and one of five fireplaces create an unforgettable first impression. On the main level, details abound-10' ceilings, 8' interior doors, extra-deep crown and baseboard molding, and two staircases that flow seamlessly through the home. The formal dining room opens directly to the front patio for entertaining, while the gourmet kitchen delivers professional-grade amenities: an AGA stove, additional Wolf built-in oven, two dishwashers, a cozy seating nook, and reverse osmosis water system access. The primary bedroom retreat is a true sanctuary, featuring vaulted ceilings, a steam shower, private wet bar with fridge, a laundry chute from the primary closet, and a massive private balcony that extends your living space outdoors in unforgettable fashion. Upstairs, every bedroom offers vaulted ceilings to enhance the sense of space. The lower level is built for gathering and enjoyment-a climate-controlled wine cellar, full theater with all equipment included, pool table, and radiant heated floors. Thoughtful utility features include an insulated foundation, Central VAC system, intercom, Kolbe windows, and a stairwell from the garage to the basement. Both the garage and basement feature radiant heating, which not only provides exceptional comfort but also makes winter heating costs surprisingly reasonable. Outdoor living transforms the property into a private resort. Stamped concrete patios at the front and back expand your entertaining footprint, and a spiral staircase from the walkout basement connects directly to the rear outdoor patio. The fully equipped outdoor kitchen showcases a Big Green Egg, hibachi griddle, 46" DCS grill, gas burner, icebox, fridges, and a honed granite bar with seating for six. Security cameras provide coverage front, back, and sides for peace of mind. The oversized 4.5 car heated garage, the home's 2x6 frame construction, and forced walk-out basement with 14" concrete walls underscore superior construction and durability. This estate is more than a home - it's a statement. With a massive primary balcony, resort-style outdoor kitchen, theater, wine cellar, radiant heating, and architectural details that could never be replicated today at this price, it delivers unmatched value and lifestyle. Set in the coveted Old Reserve Hills, this residence combines luxury, comfort, and efficiency in a way that makes it truly one-of-a-kind. Opportunities like this are rare - and once it's gone, it cannot be recreated.
