16609 Sterling Drive

Welcome to a masterclass in custom residential. Built by the original owner-a premier custom builder-this flawless, all-brick and stone ranch estate delivers uncompromising luxury, meticulous craftsmanship, and complete privacy. Tucked away on an exclusive dead-end street with only 8 homes on the entire block, this property offers a peaceful, secluded sanctuary while keeping you just minutes away from downtown Lemont's vibrant dining, shopping, expressways and train line. Pass through the grand foyer entry to discover a sweeping, light-filled open layout boasting high-end architectural details: soft rounded drywall corners, solid interior doors, and exquisite custom trim work. Gather in the formal living and dining rooms, or unwind in the magnificent family room anchored by a stately brick fireplace and soaring coffered ceilings. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring furniture-grade custom cabinetry, thick granite countertops, premium stainless steel appliances, a large center island, and an inviting breakfast room. The sprawling floor plan is brilliantly organized around a private split-wing layout and a guest half bath in the center. The grand master suite acts as its own secluded wing, boasting dual walk-in closets and a resort-style spa bath. On the opposite side of the estate, two additional generously sized bedrooms are serviced by a gorgeous, upscale full bathroom. Prepare to be completely blown away by the massive, fully finished basement! Engineered with ultra-convenient dual access-including a direct staircase leading straight up to the garage-this entertainer's paradise features a full wet bar, a complete second kitchen, a private den, a full bathroom, and multiple dedicated storage rooms. Step outside to a premium paver patio and a beautifully finished paver driveway that coordinates perfectly with the home's stone exterior. Complete with a pristine, tile-floored 3-car garage outfitted with custom built-in storage, this builder's personal home is a rare, built-to-last masterpiece you won't want to miss! LIVE & ENJOY!
