Property Description 141 Walnut Street, Libertyville, IL 60048
This is where space, privacy, and an unbeatable summer lifestyle come together just moments from downtown. Set on a rare and beautifully wooded .57-acre lot, this custom-built home offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature and the ability to walk to Libertyville's vibrant restaurants, shops, events, Adler Park, Lake Minear Beach, and the Metra. Summer evenings, farmers markets, concerts in the park, beach days, and downtown dining are all just outside your door. Offering over 4,200 square feet above grade, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a 3.5-car garage, this home was designed for both everyday comfort and memorable gatherings. The open-concept main level features 9-foot ceilings, rich hardwood floors, a spacious family room, and an expansive eat-in kitchen that naturally becomes the heart of the home. Granite countertops, double ovens, stainless steel appliances, and custom 42" maple cabinetry create a space that's equally functional and inviting. Entertaining is effortless with a formal dining room connected by a convenient butler's pantry, while the front office with a striking coffered ceiling provides the perfect work-from-home setting. Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms and closets, including an impressive primary suite featuring a tray ceiling, spa-like bath with dual vanities, jetted tub, oversized shower, and a custom walk-in closet designed to keep everything organized. Two secondary bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while a massive 500-square-foot bonus room offers endless flexibility as a media room, playroom, fitness space, teen retreat, guest suite, or private apartment-style living area. When the weather warms up, the outdoor spaces truly shine. Enjoy morning coffee beneath the custom wood pergola, host summer barbecues on the patio, tend to your garden, play yard games on the expansive lot, or simply relax and enjoy the serenity of your wooded surroundings. Large lots this close to downtown Libertyville are incredibly hard to find. Additional highlights include second-floor laundry, Hardie Board siding, an outdoor storage shed, and nearly 2,000 square feet of unfinished basement space with plumbing rough-in-ready for your future golf simulator, home theater, recreation area, or additional living space. Located in the highly acclaimed Libertyville schools and surrounded by everything that makes Libertyville one of the most sought-after communities in the area, this is more than a home-it's a lifestyle.
