Property Description
Act Fast-This Private Estate Won't Last Long (Again!) Welcome to one of Wayne's most iconic and exclusive estates on White Thorne Road-an address that speaks for itself. This extraordinary residence, custom-built by former McDonald's CEO James Skinner, is privately situated on nearly 5 acres and backs to a tranquil 22-acre forest preserve. Last time it hit the market, it sold immediately-and with good reason. Homes like this don't come around often, and when they do, they go fast. In addition to the huge yard, the property features an in ground pool and tennis courts! From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the timeless European architecture and impeccable craftsmanship. Inside, the updated and sophisticated interiors blend old-world charm with modern comfort, creating a one-of-a-kind living experience. Stunning millwork, 5 fireplaces, designer lighting, custom tile work, and an airy, sun-drenched floor plan set the tone for luxury living. The foyer alone will take your breath away with a grand staircase and dramatic windows, flanked by a richly paneled home office and a formal dining room built for entertaining. The heart of the home-a show-stopping chef's kitchen-features luxury appliances, custom cabinetry, an oversized island, walk-in and butler's pantries, built-in desk, beverage drawers, wet bar with second dishwasher, and a cozy breakfast banquette. Connected seamlessly is the vaulted-ceiling hearth room with a massive stone fireplace-a perfect gathering space year-round. And just off the breezeway? A pet lover's dream: hot/cold water access and a dog run, or simply the ideal drop zone for muddy boots in the winter. The first-floor primary suite is your private spa retreat, complete with dual walk-in closets, a remodeled bath featuring a steam shower, programmable soaking tub, and a fireplace that sets the mood for ultimate relaxation. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms all include en-suite bathrooms and walk-in closets. Downstairs, the finished walk-out basement is an entertainer's dream-featuring a newly updated bar with built-in Kegerator, full kitchenette, media center, gym, music room, guest suite, and so much more. Step outside and feel like you've escaped to a luxury resort. Whether you're lounging poolside, grilling under the pergola, spotting deer near the forest edge, or serving up a game on your private tennis/pickleball court-this backyard delivers it all. Additional upgrades include: new HVAC (July 2023), surround sound, new sub-fencing for added safety, irrigation system, extensive exterior lighting, and a full security setup. Ask for the full list of updates-it's impressive. Don't wait. Properties like this are rare, and this one won't last. Call today to schedule your private showing.
