Nestled within the prestigious Wooded Path Estates II of Orland Park, this stunning all-brick estate built by Howard Nagel is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship and design. Situated on a lush half-acre lot, the property offers a resort-style lifestyle that seamlessly blends indoor luxury with an outdoor oasis. From the moment you step into the dramatic 20-foot entryway, the home's scale and sophistication are evident, featuring eight-foot interior doors, intricate custom millwork, and rich Brazilian walnut flooring that flows throughout the main level. The heart of the home is a luxurious gourmet kitchen designed for the culinary enthusiast, boasting an oversized island, commercial-grade appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a sun-drenched eat-in area. The adjacent living space is nothing short of spectacular, anchored by a fireplace with a limestone surround and topped with elegant, coffered ceilings. For those who love to host, the dual walk-out patio doors lead to an enclosed three-season room, offering a serene vantage point to appreciate the meticulously landscaped grounds. Thoughtfully designed for versatility, the main floor offers ranch-style convenience with four bedrooms and a private office featuring custom built-ins. Each bedroom has custom built-in closets which is a feature not to be missed. The primary suite serves as a true retreat with oversized panoramic windows, a spa-inspired bath, while a second en-suite bedroom and two additional bedrooms provide ample space. Practicality meets style in the mudroom and laundry area, which features floor-to-ceiling custom storage, a dedicated workstation, and side-by-side laundry units. Upstairs, a massive recreational space, a fifth bedroom, and a full bath offer the perfect footprint for guests or hobbies. The entertainment possibilities extend to the full finished walk-out basement, which features a complete second kitchen with a five-griddle stove, granite counters, and a dry bar with dual beverage centers. This level leads directly to the expertly hardscaped backyard and a second three-season room. For the ultimate recreation experience, the sub-basement has been professionally finished by Midwest Sport Court into a full basketball court with acoustic ceiling panels, complemented by a fully wired home theater. Outside, the backyard is a private sanctuary featuring a 16' x 36' resort-style pool, a built-in outdoor kitchen with an island, a custom fire pit area, and elegant paver detailing. Complete with a three-car attached garage and an abundance of storage, this home is an unparalleled achievement in luxury living.
