This wonderful house features over 5000 sq ft of flexible, light-filled living space and a .83 acre lot overlooking the Blackwell forest preserve, close to Cantigny - yet with easy access to Rts 59, 38 and interstates 88 and 355. Built in 1992, this house brick beauty with shake shingle roof is impressive from the start, with a layout that is perfect for both entertaining & extended family living. The front entry greets you with an impressive marble-floored foyer & a curved banister staircase to the second floor.
