Morgan County - 1585 Gravel Springs Circle, Jacksonville, IL
Wow. Have you been looking for the perfect home or maybe even the show stopping lodge in a private setting with all the benefits of town just a few minutes away? This is all possible with this newly constructed barndominium just outside of town. The owner of this home brought his dream of a custom home to fruition, and now you have the chance to benefit. The curb appeal of this home is second to none. Pulling in from the road, the full-length front porch with cedar-wrapped posts lets you know immediately that full attention was given to the finer details of this home. The cedar accents continue around the massive overhead doors and on the full-length back porch that is complete with LED lighting and Hunter ceiling fans. Before walking in, notice the fully hardwired video surveillance system. Entering from the back porch, you are greeted by the 36 ' x 36' shop with 18-foot ceilings. The garage/shop has floor heat and is fully metal-lined. A massive industrial ceiling fan will keep the air moving in the entire area. With the tall ceilings, there is room for a massive loft for additional storage or even more entertaining area. Entering the house from the shop, the floor heat follows, and you go right into the laundry/mud room. This could easily be the perfect scent-free room. Well thought out to keep the house clean and free from clutter. The kitchen is where most people will notice the high-end quality of the home. The soft whites and grays from the granite counters and backsplash are the perfect complement to the Caf stainless appliances. This kitchen was designed to be useful and a statement to the home. Make sure you don't leave the kitchen without looking for the hidden butler's pantry. This is a great place to contain overflow while also having a working countertop and tons of storage space. Leaving the kitchen, you head into the large living room with soaring vaulted ceilings, and a built-in gas fireplace will keep you extra cozy in the winter. There is a half bath conveniently located by the living room and kitchen. Heading to the primary bedroom, you will find a large bedroom with a gun / safe room complete with a vault door. There are double doors that open to the wooded back yard, making the perfect spot for a morning coffee patio. The en suite bath is fully custom in every way possible. From the lighted mirrors to the soaking tub and then the massive multi-shower head walk-through shower, this bathroom is magazine-level impressive. Walking upstairs, you will find two additional bedrooms with a shared full bath. The loft living room currently has a pool table but could be made into a theater room, more bedrooms, or whatever you wish. The owner even thought ahead and added a header in case someone wanted to build out into the shop from this room. The home sits on a slightly rolling double lot that has been cleaned and leveled. The hardwood trees provide a great level of privacy and are the perfect setting for this custom home. This could be the dream home for your family or a great lodge to entertain and impress your clients and friends during a hunting trip. Call today for a private tour.
