Naperville
Slated to begin construction later this spring, this grand estate is joining the neighborhood of Bonnema Woods in Naperville. With copper spires, generous terraces, liberal stone and timber detailing and lacy ironwork, this home could be mistaken for a European chateau. The roof is topped with wrought-iron regency cresting. Gothic windows and leaded glass add to the old-world charm of the exterior. The first floor is raised above grade contributing to the grandeur of this imposing residence, and allowing natural light into the lower level.
The plan features five fireplaces, including an outdoor fireplace, which can be enjoyed from the rear terrace. The breakfast room is located in an octagonal room with windows facing five different directions. The private first floor study will feature imported wood millwork, with extensive paneling, a wood-beamed ceiling and custom artglass window panels. A multitude of windows capitalize on lovely views of the heavily wooded development.
