Recent Shoots: 4147 Monke Avenue, Litchfield, IL
One of my favorite Real Estate shoots this summer was this spectacular home on Monke Ave. in Litchfield, IL, offered by Dorthy Lowe of Century21 Reid Baugher Realty. A 4 bedroom/ 2.5 bath, two-story home, it offers 2,375 sq. ft. of custom living and entertaining space. Situated on a gorgeous, well-maintained 20 acres, and set back from the road, it's a private oasis in the country, yet just minutes from the city of Litchfield, and Interstate 55.
The partially wooded property boasts a beautiful pond, complete with a swimming dock and aerating fountain. Being set back from the road as it is, you'll enjoy a hideaway like no other. Plenty of open park-like area abounds, as well.
Heading up the long driveway, you will find plenty of parking space for family and guests-- plus a huge garage/shop on the right. The attached garage itself has a little surprise awaiting you,though....you really should call the agent to schedule your tour!
The home welcomes you in with a roomy foyer, including a custom-designed, mudroom-style hallway that leads to the attached garage. (Don't forget to check out that garage....it has a surprise in store, remember!) Plenty of room to hang hats, coats and kick off shoes!
Moving inside past the roomy foyer, you'll find spacious entertaining and living space.The beautiful custom kitchen boasts a dining nook and a stone-topped breakfast bar, and butler's pantry, and flows easily into the formal dining and living rooms. Just off the kitchen is a bonus office/den/guest room/4th bedroom....whatever you decide it should be for your family!
One of the biggest treats of this home is the fabulous floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace....the vaulted ceiling and massive fireplace give this room the feel of a vacation lodge. Imagine a cozy winter evening hanging out here!
Oh, and just off the dining area....outside the French doors.....you;ll find a sweet little patio area for outdoor entertaining! Totally a perfectly located spot for enjoying a cuppa joe in the mroning, or a refreshing beverageand a summer barbeque.....
In case you were wondering, there is a full bath on the downstairs level, as well as the separate laundry room.
Well, let's tear ourselves away from the great downstairs area and head upstairs to see what else this home offers....
Upstairs we have three bedrooms, a half bath, and a very cool view from the master suite!
Just off this bedroom (above) is a HUGE closet or storage/finished attic space. It's well-lit, and could easily serve as a walk-in closet for this room!
In the hall is a small half bath that you could easily dismiss as a hall closet....but this is great, as it'll keep the kids from trooping through your room in the middle of the night! And nobody will have to navigate the stairs half asleep to use the downstairs bath.
And now for the master suite! Complete with it's own balcony, dressing area and master bath complete with a separate shower and jetted tub, this can be your perfect haven of peace.....
Check out this balcony view......
The master suite also boasts a large closet and dressing area, and the en suite bath features a huge jetted tub, and separate shower....
This is a dream home, situated very close to I-55, and the city of Litchfield, making for an easy commute to work, and yet, is secluded enough to give you the feeling that you are miles from anywhere in your own getaway retreat. It is located in Montgomery County, IL, and is in the Litchfield Schools District 12.
