Your search is over! This gorgeous Wayne estate offers complete privacy with conveniences located within minutes. Situated on 12.4 acres, this stunner was fashioned after the Wayne homes of the 1930s/1940s, designed by architect Dan Marshall and built by PJ Murphy Builders 2010. In a Hamptonesque and bucolic setting, ideal for enjoying with family and friends, and the train, excellent private schools, shopping and several private country clubs all within a 5-20 minute drive. Charm and character exude through the wide corridors of this 8,134 sq ft home, not including the finished, deep-pour basement with 3,665 sq ft. There's a lovely screen porch with 486 sq ft, a total of 5 car garage spaces - extra wide doors, two spaces connected with attached garage, and three cars in detached garage with open storage above, by staircase. The full basement has stained concrete flooring, with a casual vibe, plus a wonderfully-wide entry into the entertainment area. With a full bath including steam shower, kitchenette, entertaining mecca, TV/fireplace lounge area, and a separate game nook, the space captures you. An extra is the deep pour, which allows for greater ceiling height. The lower windows are sunny and make it feel like an extension of the home rather than "a basement". Bluestone and antique paver hardscape, wonderful Pennsylvania fieldstone walls, and HoerrSchaudt designed landscaping are fabulous, with heated entry bluestone steps at the front entryway off the circular drive. Channel your inner-Martha Stewart with the newly re-picketed fenced-in vegetable garden. You HAVE to see this from the upper levels to see the true beauty of design and function. The terrace is fantastic and has underground drainage and irrigated pots for ease of care on the perimeter and front entry. The gunite pool just resurfaced in the fall of 2024. Copper gutters, copper lanterns, top-of-the-line interior and exterior hardware, honed marble and granite throughout, WITH top-of-the-line appliances and other appointments. A FLOWER ROOM/dog room with dutch door, mudroom with lockers, a laundry room to die for . . . so much to describe! Cabinetry is provided by Past Basket of Geneva, and custom built-ins are specially designed and specialty carpenter-built throughout. Paneled library and office nook with fireplace is so cozy and warm, but windows allow you to enjoy the scenery that is your own. The guest suite is on the main level and has a porch to capture the views while guests sip their morning coffee in their separate space. The spacious guest bath has honed marble vanity top, custom built-in around and vanity, marble flooring and shower floor, all with Anne Sacks tile.

The kitchen, gathering room, and casual dining are enormous but cozy, and double sets of French doors lead to the amazing terrace. Everything you'd want, but have to see. OH, the living room! So many ways to use this space, with fireplace and window wall and ceiling height that is just so perfect and many seating arrangement options. The primary bedroom and three other bedrooms are upstairs, along with an exercise room, which is spacious. The upstairs landing/additional family room with great built-ins and plentiful seating arrangements. Original barn repainted and re-stained 2017. The home is a must-see and truly unlike any other home in Kane County.
