For those searching for the rare combination of historic charm & luxurious modern amenities, welcome to Linden Lodge - a historic waterfront estate. Circa 1915, this home has been renovated and expanded over the years and offers character and charm at every turn. The long winding driveway through the century old majestic trees, flowering bushes and hundreds of perennial ferns leads you to this private oasis that could be your forever home. This unique property offers 5+ acres of land and over 425 ft of riverfront with water rights. The current owners have substantially invested into bringing this property to its original beauty and adding luxury finishes and designer details to make it a one of a kind home. Prepare meals with ease in the gourmet chef's kitchen with stone counters, high end appliances, including a 5 burner Italian stove, large center island and custom walk-in butler's pantry. A custom built-in antique hutch provides extra storage with added historic charm. The giant sun room off the large dining room and spacious living room is a serene space for enjoying your morning coffee and taking in the beautiful waterfront landscape and wildlife. Retreat at day's end to the new first floor primary suite with herringbone floors, oversized windows, stone fireplace, and private porch. This brand new en-suite has a custom shower, freestanding soaker tub and walnut double sink vanity. The private brick paver porch off the suite has stunning English roses climbing the porch trellis. A huge mudroom/laundry room combo is located off the kitchen with a convenient side entrance and access to the attached 2 car garage. Walking up the stairs, the original floors have been restored and an antique Italian chandelier makes an elegant statement hanging above. The upper level offers 4 large bedrooms, a sitting area, ample closet space and a full bath - all with views of the scenic river! Not included in the total square footage is the massive 47x44 pool/garden room with indoor pool, which could easily be converted into a greenhouse or patio/deck to enjoy year-round. The unincorporated location allows livestock and outbuildings, while still offering modern conveniences like city water, natural gas, ultra high speed internet and grocery delivery available to your door. This property is truly a masterpiece for secluded waterfront living and only 1 hour from Chicago and minutes to golf courses, dining, shopping, local boutiques, coffee shops, state parks and more!
