Property Description
Tucked away in the heart of Arlington Heights' coveted Scarsdale Estates, this exceptional 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers the feel of a hidden retreat within one of the area's most sought-after neighborhoods. Known for its strong sense of community and rare availability, Scarsdale Estates provides a uniquely established and welcoming setting unlike anywhere else in Arlington Heights. Set on nearly a half-acre lot with mature landscaping and a fenced backyard, the property creates the perfect backdrop for both lively gatherings and everyday enjoyment. Offering approximately 4,864 square feet, the home blends spacious living with timeless design and exceptional versatility. Three bedrooms on the main level and two more upstairs create a floor plan that offers flexibility to create your layout. The first-floor primary suite is tucked into a private corner of the home, where walls of windows overlook mature landscaping and create a peaceful, treehouse-like setting. And then comes the feature that truly sets it apart: an expansive recreation wing unlike anything else in the neighborhood. Anchored by an indoor pool, this remarkable space has served as the heart of the home for years and offers endless potential for its next evolution. Whether you have a vision for a luxury sports court, family activity center, or a wellness retreat complete with a fitness area - this 1,482 square foot space is a true rarity. While the home is ready for a new owner's updates and vision, its value lies in the features that can't easily be recreated: nearly a half-acre in Scarsdale Estates, approximately 4,864 square feet of living space, a highly flexible layout, and exceptional structure. Rich oak flooring, heated floors in the primary bath, quality craftsmanship, and years of attentive maintenance provide a strong foundation for the next chapter of this truly one-of-a-kind property.
