Property Description

Unicorns do exist! Enjoy country living at its finest! This truly one-of-a-kind property offers exceptional flexibility, privacy, and modern comfort on 4.62 scenic acres. In 2022, the home's footprint was nearly doubled with a thoughtfully designed new ranch-style addition-creating not just extra space, but a highly functional layout ideal for a variety of living arrangements. Rather than a typical in-law suite, this home features a completely self-contained secondary residence, seamlessly connected to the main house by a shared third garage. This unique configuration offers the benefits of both proximity and independence, making it perfectly suited for extended household needs, private guest accommodations, or professional live-in support. With 3,546 square feet of above-ground living space-and 4,604 square feet including the beautifully finished basement-there's no shortage of room to spread out. The original 1971 ranch home now features modern updates throughout, while the new addition is built on a slab foundation with all NEW mechanicals and finishes, including: * NEW septic system * NEW well * NEW appliances * NEW American Standard HVAC with air purification * NEW Bradford White tankless water heater * NEW Trane air handler * NEW insulation, electrical, and plumbing throughout * NEW concrete driveway and expansive deck * NEW roof and updated bathrooms Enjoy picturesque views of mature trees, a freshly stocked pond, and direct access to the beautiful Burlington Prairie Forest Preserve. Relax year-round in your outdoor hot tub or entertain from the privacy of your oversized rear deck. Located just 4 minutes from downtown Burlington and 10 minutes from Sycamore shopping, this private retreat blends modern convenience with peaceful, rural charm. Whether you're seeking space for multi-functional living, guest privacy, or flexible long-term accommodations, this property delivers unmatched versatility in a stunning natural setting. Sycamore continues to invest in its future with infrastructure improvements and family-focused amenities, such as the modernization of community parks, walking trails, and playgrounds spearheaded by the Sycamore Park District. Residents enjoy a vibrant calendar of events, including the iconic Sycamore Pumpkin Festival, boutique shopping and dining in the historic downtown, and a warm, neighborly atmosphere. Located just minutes from the dynamic Fox Valley corridor, this part of Kane County allows for easy access to quality schools, and outdoor recreation.
