Property Description 26618 S Winfield Road, Monee, IL 60449
Truly special one-owner, custom-built all-brick home set on 3.46 beautiful acres, offering over 3,400 square feet plus an impressive finished daylight basement and a 3-car garage. Thoughtful craftsmanship is evident throughout, including remarkable oak carpentry handmade by the original owner's father, a master carpenter, generous closets, skylights throughout the home, and vaulted ceilings across much of the main level. A spacious foyer opens to an inviting living room highlighted by solid wood ceiling beams, ceiling fans, a gorgeous stone gas fireplace, and French doors that fill the space with natural light while creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. The chef's kitchen features an island, garden window, skylights, abundant workspace, and French doors, while the main level also includes a formal dining room, convenient laundry with washer and dryer remaining, powder room, and a desirable primary suite. Step outside to the expansive deck overlooking the acreage-an incredible setting for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the views. Upstairs you'll find two generously sized bedrooms plus a flexible playroom or office and a full bath. One of the upper-level bedrooms is already plumbed for its own private full bath, offering the opportunity for an additional ensuite in the future. The finished daylight basement is an entertainer's dream, complete with a second fireplace, wet bar, pool table area, additional bedroom with egress windows, bath, abundant storage, and convenient stair access directly from the garage. The basement flooring also has infrastructure in place for future radiant heat, although the system is not currently connected or operational. Hardwood flooring, carpet, ceramic tile, and vinyl tile are thoughtfully used throughout the home. Additional highlights include dual-zone heating and cooling with two furnaces and two A/C units, central vacuum, approximately 5-year-old water softener, newer sump pump and ejector pump switch, private well and septic, septic pumped in 2015, shed and an original 50-year shingle roof. With flexible living spaces, exceptional craftsmanship, abundant natural light, incredible entertaining areas, and room to spread out both inside and out, this distinctive property offers a combination of quality, character, acreage, and possibilities that is difficult to duplicate.
