Libertyville, IL 60048 1429 Castleton Road

A charming front porch, accented with brick and cedar siding, welcomes you to this beautifully updated center-entry colonial with a modern twist. Step inside the two-story foyer and be greeted by an elegant oak staircase flanked by formal living and dining rooms, both featuring crown molding. Gleaming hardwood floors and 9' ceilings carry throughout the main level, adding a sense of spaciousness and warmth. The gourmet island kitchen, fully remodeled in March 2024, is truly the heart of the home. Boasting quartz countertops, stainless steel Bosch appliances, 48" upper cabinetry, and ample storage, this kitchen is a dream for any chef. Undercabinet lighting highlights the stylish tile backsplash, while the sunny eating area, with its Anderson sliding door, opens to a brick patio in the secluded backyard-perfect for al fresco dining. The step-down family room offers brand-new carpeting, a cozy brick fireplace, and a wall of windows that fill the space with natural light. Tucked away on the first-floor is the office, complete with built-in desks and shelving, provides the ideal setup for working from home. Directly across from the garage entrance, the mudroom offers practical conveniences like a folding counter, utility sink, coat closet, and front-loading Samsung washer & dryer, with a service door providing easy access to the backyard. Upstairs, the vaulted ceilings in the spacious master suite create a grand impression. The recently remodeled master bath is a spa-like escape, featuring decorator tile, a double basin eucalyptus vanity, stand-alone tub with spray faucet, and a double shower with frameless glass doors and a rain shower head. Three additional bedrooms, all with overhead lighting and ample closets, share a well-appointed dual-sink hall bath. An extension of the home's living space - the finished basement offers ample space for a playroom, home gym, or media area, along with generous storage. (Please note the basement is excavated under all but the den, which has a crawl space) As an added bonus, you'll enjoy direct access to three Lake County Forest Preserve trails right across the street, making this home a perfect blend of comfort, luxury, and nature.
