The story
- Basement
Set on a private, lush acre within the beauty of Fullersburg Woods, "Pleasantview Farm" is a distinctive Oak Brook residence that perfectly balances historic character with sophisticated modern updates. This home is tucked away on an incredibly secluded road shared by only a few neighboring residences, offering a level of privacy that is increasingly rare. Surrounded by thick, lush woods, the property feels like a hidden sanctuary, spanning approximately 5,754 square feet of space defined by warmth, luxury, and an extraordinary connection to nature. The interior is anchored by rich, eight-inch-wide pine hardwood flooring that flows through the main living areas. The heart of the home is a beautifully renovated kitchen featuring quartzite countertops and a custom handmade herringbone ceramic tile backsplash, perfect for those who love to cook and entertain. Recent high-end additions include a new dual-fuel Wolf 48-inch range. One of the home's standout features is the first-floor primary suite. This space serves as a true private retreat, featuring French doors that open directly to a deck overlooking the expansive, wooded grounds. The recently renovated primary bath offers a spa-like experience with a zero-entry shower, a stand alone tub and refined finishes. With five bedrooms in total, the layout is incredibly flexible; the second floor hosts three bedrooms, a dedicated study, and a spacious bonus room, while the finished lower level provides a secluded guest space complete with a Murphy bed. The outdoor setting is nothing short of spectacular, with grounds professionally designed by the award-winning Cornerstone Partners Horticultural. The backyard is a private sanctuary featuring a bluestone patio with limestone detailing, a composite rear deck, and a professionally installed koi pond. The gardens are a lush tapestry of hydrangeas, Russian sage, and garden phlox, all framed by the towering trees of the surrounding forest. Charming outbuildings, including a quaint potting shed and a custom house for chickens and ducks, add a whimsical, farmhouse-inspired appeal to the property. Modern convenience and infrastructure have been prioritized throughout. The home features two garages for four cars total-both with epoxy flooring and EV charging-including a detached two-car garage with a workshop. Major upgrades include a Canadian heavy cedar shake roof across all structures, a 23kW whole-house generator, updated Trane HVAC systems, and a Control4 security and thermostat system. Pleasantview Farm is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully established property where thoughtful investment and exceptional care meet a one-of-a-kind, ultra-private outdoor playground.
