Overview
Welcome to your new private estate on the exclusive White Thorn Road in Wayne. The home was built by previous McDonald's CEO, James Skinner, and is perfectly positioned on 4.85 acres. This home is one that will wow the most discriminating buyer. This expansive property is adjacent to a 22-acre forest preserve and just a short drive to restaurants, shopping, and everything downtown St. Charles and Geneva has to offer. Proximity to I-90 or train stations to access the city is easy, with passage available in Geneva, Bartlett or West Chicago. This unique property displays old world architecture and attention to detail throughout, but with updated and fresh interiors, which makes for the perfect marriage of style and function. The elegant interior boasts custom millwork, beautiful tile, stylish lighting, 5 fireplaces and much more. When you enter the bright and airy foyer, you'll be enthralled with the custom staircase and stunning windows ahead, but stop for the dining room and beautifully-paneled study. The kitchen is a wow! Everyone will want to gather in this gorgeous space, featuring custom cabinets, an expansive island, and luxury appliances including a Miele built-in coffee maker. The layout and flow in this floor plan is perfect for gatherings. Storing and accessing items/serving pieces is easy with the spacious, custom butler's pantry with lovely antiqued glass, as well as, a walk-in pantry! The kitchen also has a built-in desk for keeping the household running smoothly, a wet bar is complete with sink & additional dishwasher, which we all need when entertaining. You may also enjoy the custom dining banquette for casual dining. Refrigerator drawers blend in seamlessly with the custom cabinetry. The kitchen opens to a warm and inviting hearth/family room where an over-sized, stone fireplace and vaulted ceiling makes gatherings easy. One area that could go under-appreciated is the breezeway, which would be amazing for dog parents - since it leads out to the DOG RUN, and also has hot & cold water for convenience. If you're not a pet person, you'll still appreciate this area for sloughing off snow boots during our wonderful winters. Relax and unwind in the first floor primary suite with a breathtaking, remodeled bathroom featuring custom cabinets, a large steam shower with multiple shower heads, a programmable spa tub bath, and dual walk-in closets, which of course, has built-in organizers. Secret storage. The unparalleled views of outside compliment the interior, gas-burning fireplace which makes for warm & cozy relaxation. You may just feel as though you're having a spa experience every day. The three expansive upstairs bedrooms feature their own en-suite bathrooms with walk-in closets. The finished English/walk-out basement has a newly renovated bar (with Kegerator built in), kitchenette with fridge/freezer, ice maker, beverage fridge, microwave, and lots of storage cabinetry. Basement has a large bedroom & bath, fitness room, music room, media center, entertainment area with fireplace, and library/office/craft room. Summers will be especially wonderful with your own outdoor retreat. Nestled amongst the beautifully landscaped oasis, you'll enjoy viewing wildlife from the expansive patio/outdoor grilling area, under the pergola or swimming in the 10' chlorine pool (with brand new heater). Great tennis court, or PICKLEBALL, anyone? The possibilities being endless! Whether it's sun or shade that you enjoy, you'll find a perfect spot in this private back yard. It truly feels like a relaxing 5-star resort, and the best part is that you can enjoy it all year long!
