1060 Roselle, Inverness IL 60067

Discover one of the most cherished and iconic homes in Inverness! This charming farmhouse was originally purchased in 1944, expanded over the decades, and completely remodeled in 2013 to blend modern amenities with timeless appeal. The property spans 5 acres featuring a large two- story red barn-one of the largest outbuildings in Inverness-and a serene pond perfect for fishing and canoeing. The backyard is the heart of this property and has been a lovely venue for family reunions, graduations, and festive Halloween parties. Nature enthusiasts will love the blue herons, egrets, and ducks. The pond offers catch-and-release fishing and a quiet spot for canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boating. In the winter, the pond transforms into an ice-skating rink and hockey rink, with a fire pit nearby for warming up with hot chocolate and s'mores. ** As for the barn, its versatility is unmatched. Previous owners housed llamas, swans, and turkeys, while the current owners utilize it for storing cars, maintaining vehicles and household storage. In 2015, an office was added, making it an ideal space for home projects, repairs, or even Zoom calls for work. The barn serves as an extension of the home, and while its structure has been maintained, any major modifications or demolition will require approval from the Village of Inverness. ** The front yard, set back from Roselle Road, offers privacy with its native plants, walnut trees, and evergreens. Step inside the home and you'll be greeted by an open-concept layout, including a spacious kitchen, dining, and living area. The kitchen is outfitted with modern appliances, a live- edge wood island, and flows seamlessly into the dining area-perfect for family gatherings and entertaining. ** Head down the hallway and up the stairs to the master bedroom suite, where you'll find vaulted ceilings, a sitting area, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious bathroom with a large shower, soaker tub, and double sinks. Natural light pours into this peaceful retreat, making it the ideal spot to unwind. Back on the main floor, you'll also discover a guest room/office, with a built-in queen Murphy bed, a full bath with bright tiles, and a barn door for added privacy. Venture upstairs to the second bedroom suite, which includes two bedrooms and a full bath. This part of the home retains the charm of the original structure with its hardwood floors, offering a cozy space ideal for children seeking independence, with their own bathroom and private space. ** A double-sided fireplace warms both the family room and the enclosed porch, which leads to the in-ground pool and hot tub. Built in 2018, the pool and hot tub can be enjoyed year-round. Strategically sunken to enhance privacy from Roselle Road, the hot tub can be heated separately, features an automatic cover, and has been professionally maintained since installation. The pool area is perfect for hosting large gatherings, where friends can relax on floats, play pool volleyball, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. ** This property offers an opportunity to enjoy a family-friendly lifestyle while being located near top- rated schools, the Metra, Harper College, Woodfield Mall, local shops, and great restaurants. With quick access to I-90/94 and Route 53, you're never far from where you need to be.
