Inverness Real Estate - Inverness Illinois Real Estate

When one dreams of luxury, this lakefront property is the home those dreams are made of. Built within the exclusive Braymore of Inverness neighborhood, Harris Builders offers this French country manor with approximately 11,000 square feet of living space.

A dramatic two-story foyer with beautiful marble floors carries you into the great room, complete with two-story volume ceiling. Your eyes are immediately drawn to huge windows overlooking the lake, framing the changing seasons. A limestone gas fireplace runs from floor to ceiling and compliments the stunning chandelier, which draws you to notice the rich mahogany ceiling beams. Vibrant Brazilian cherry wood floors lead you right into the gourmet kitchen.

Here, glazed cabinetry with exquisite detail fills the room. The glass windowed doors and interior lighting are sure to allow you to showcase your finest pieces. A luxury kitchen like this requires granite counters. Specialty lighting underneath the cabinets brings them to life. The look is carried onto a large island, which includes a vegetable sink. Rich cherry wood covers all four sides and once again the detailing cannot be missed. All your new appliances blend in perfectly with the custom cabinetry.

In the adjoining breakfast room the view is once again breathtaking, and the amount of space will entice you to entertain. There is also a butler’s pantry, complete with wine cooler, leading you into the formal dining room. Cathedral ceilings, wainscoting on the walls and a beautiful bay window make this room one of the builder’s personal favorites.

On the opposite end of the first floor you’ll find the master suite with a fireplace, two walk-in closets and a stunning private bath, truly one of the most elegant rooms in the home. The bath comes to life through an amazing mix of marble surfaces. There are large counter vanities, which include two sinks. Truly the most spectacular features are the designer whirlpool tub and oversized shower, a must see. Combine that with a spectacular view and leaving this room on time in the morning, could prove to be extremely challenging.

Next to the master suite is the library. Rich mahogany bookcases and ceiling beams are waiting impatiently to house your literary collection.

There is also a sunroom on the first floor. A mural painted on the far wall encourages you to relax and enjoy a beautiful afternoon in the country. The painting really gives the room its personality, and is showcased perfectly against the limestone floor. More big beautiful windows cover another wall, along with a glass door leading you to one of two brick patios.

Finishing first floor touches include two powder rooms, marble can be found in both. One has a limestone floor, the other Brazilian cherry.

A much different type of luxury is found on the lower level of the manor. A cherry wood bar sits in the center of the room. While it does not come fully stocked, it does have a refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave oven. The counters on the bar are granite, and bar glasses can be stored overhead. There is also a wine cellar on this level, which holds 2,200 bottles of wine!

Watch a movie in your home theatre. Don’t worry about missing any action on your 106” projection screen with surround sound. A master control panel gives you the power most can only dream about. This portion of the lower level also has indirect lighting, perfect for any audience.

A beautiful stone fireplace is flanked by two sets of double doors, which lead you to the second brick patio. Both the lower level and first level patios are linked with a stunning, stone staircase.

There’s an exercise room with audio/video hook up that is also compatible with satellite television. After your workout enjoy some time in the steam room, and then head to your very own locker room with double showers.

Thinking about hosting a floor hockey, soccer or tennis competition? Create the plans in your two game rooms, and then head over to the sports center! It’s located just below the garage and has an extremely durable floor. It’s the perfect amount of space for any sports buff to go wild! Also, those game rooms can easily be converted into one large guest suite.

On the second floor you’ll find four large bedrooms, all having decorative ceilings. Each room also has access to a private bath, a ceiling fan and walk-in closet. A spacious loft area overlooks your dining room.

The four car garage features stained coach house doors. The quality is really top of the line. In fact, all the doors in the home are worth admiring since they are all made of mahogany.
