Property Description
Welcome to this one-of-a-kind, custom-built Forrester home in the sought-after Ridgefield Estates subdivision of Manhattan, Illinois. Designed and constructed by a custom home builder for his own family, this home showcases true craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and about 5000 sq ft of beautifully finished indoor and outdoor living space-including 5 spacious bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms. From the moment you arrive, the home makes a lasting impression with its architectural details-including a twisted brick column on the front porch-offering a hint of the quality and charm found inside. Step into the impressive foyer and you're welcomed by soaring cathedral ceilings, skylights, and rich oak hardwood flooring that flows through the main living areas, stairs and upstairs bedrooms. The living room is drenched in natural light and flows seamlessly into the formal dining room and a spacious kitchen featuring abundant cabinetry, newer stainless-steel appliances, and views overlooking the large family room with oak floors and a cozy brick gas fireplace. Just off the kitchen, you'll find not one, but two sunrooms-ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or even expanding your all-season living space further. Entertaining is effortless with a full bar area complete with sink, cabinets, and mini fridge, conveniently located between the foyer and family room. The main level also features a full bath and a functional mudroom with water hookup-perfect for catch-all room or even a pet washing station-with direct access to the 3.5-car garage.
