At the heart...Hand-built brick by brick by the craftsmen at Funk Construction & Woodworking, this extraordinary custom-built estate on nearly 5 private acres in McLean, Illinois is a rare offering that simply cannot be replicated. From the moment you arrive, the attention to detail is undeniable - 36" wide doorframes, handcrafted solid oak trim, and artisan detailing flow throughout every room, setting the tone for the exceptional craftsmanship found in every corner of this one-of-a-kind property. At the heart of it all, a floor-to-ceiling Galena-inspired brick fireplace commands the great room, flanked by sweeping arched windows that bathe the space in natural light - an architectural centerpiece simply not found in today's new construction. Rich Brazilian Walnut hardwood floors and travertine stone in the kitchen and entryway anchor the home's timeless, luxurious character, while soaring vaulted ceilings and extra-wide hallways make every movement through the home feel effortless and grand. FOR THOSE WHO LOVE TO ENTERTAIN, THIS HOME DELIVERS ON EVERY LEVEL. The main level chef's kitchen features rich cherrywood cabinetry, travertine stone, and island seating for 6, while the fully-appointed lower level hosts a second complete chef's kitchen alongside a hand-carved solid wood bar and back bar that is a showpiece in its own right - together creating an entertainer's paradise without equal and a natural fit for multi-family living or an in-law suite. Offering 3 bedrooms and 4 full baths, two main-level office and den spaces, and a walkout lower level complete with a recreation and game room, workshop, and ample storage, the flexibility this property offers is truly unmatched. Step through the French doors onto a covered rear porch with brick columns and beadboard ceiling, where the entertaining continues. Brick steps descend to a flagstone patio below, framed by a stately wooden pergola, serene pond, and curated gardens - a private outdoor sanctuary of rare beauty. Acres of pristine grounds stretch beyond, where whitetail deer, bald eagles, and grazing cattle roam freely - a natural setting that feels worlds away from the ordinary. Recent updates include a new geothermal HVAC system, fully remodeled guest bath, new basement LVP flooring, and professional survey - all 2024-2025. Located 20 minutes from Bloomington-Normal and 45 minutes to Champaign-Urbana, sitting nearly equidistant between Chicago, St. Louis, and Indianapolis - genuine rural seclusion with immediate access to major employment, healthcare, and infrastructure. Offerings of this caliber are extraordinarily rare. Contact listing agent for a private showing.
