618 Buckingham Place

Designed and meticulously crafted by a custom builder for his own family in 2021, this Libertyville residence is offered for the first time and carries the hallmarks of a timeless European manor and a high degree of construction and material quality that is nearly impossible to replicate today. From the front door, a beautiful entry introduces over 3,190 square feet of elegance with 9.5 ft ceilings, solid distressed hardwood floors, crown moldings, and extensive custom millwork throughout. Large picture windows and tall glass doors fill the formal living and dining rooms with natural light and views of the yard. The dining room features a built-in credenza outfitted with a wine fridge, beverage center, and warming drawer, perfect for entertaining. The open-concept kitchen, breakfast area, and family room are situated at the rear of the home and connect to a paver patio for indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen features cabinetry that extends to the ceiling, leather-finished quartz countertops, an intricate stone tile backsplash, and a suite of Thermador appliances, including a massive 60-inch range, dual dishwashers, ovens, and sinks. Upstairs, with 9' ceilings, there are four bedrooms, including a primary suite anchored by a gas fireplace, custom millwork, an expansive walk-in closet, and a primary bath finished in floor-to-ceiling marble and stonework, rivaling a luxury hotel or spa, with a freestanding whirlpool tub and a separate shower with a rainfall head. The 1,657-square-foot finished basement with 10' ceilings is flooded with natural light through an egress window. This level includes a spacious recreation room and a wellness center with a home gym, full bath, and a versatile flex space ideal for a sauna or yoga studio. Modern infrastructure is integrated throughout, featuring blown-in insulation in all exterior and interior walls and first and second floors, three-zone HVAC, a central hot water recirculation system for instant temperature control, and Sonos-ready speakers in multiple spaces, indoors and out. Because this home was intended as the builder's personal residence, it includes many extras. The home sits on a private lot with an oversized two-car garage and professional landscaping. A sought-after location just one block from Copeland Manor Elementary, near Riverside Park and the Des Plaines River Trail, and moments from downtown Libertyville and Libertyville High School adds to its distinction.
