The expansive skies of New Town and unique water views inspired the architectural design of this four-story custom home. Working with the Architect, Tim Busse, homeowner Jenny Powell says she used his ability to “see out through the windows” even though it was just a plan on paper. They designed window placements and additional features to allow beautiful vistas from every floor.
Jenny says from the sunrise porch, you can view the country vistas and the community pool with its lazy river, as dawn breaks across New Town. The three stories of porches that grace this Southern-style home, each offer a different perspective with views of the two lakes, distinctive obelisk, and picturesque bridge marking the entrance to this unique St. Charles community. As you gaze across the lake in the front yard, you’re met with gorgeous sunsets and a view to the bluffs of Illinois.
The home’s expansive interior offers 10-foot ceilings and open-concept living with a custom kitchen designed for entertaining, including a huge double refrigerator. The mudroom, designed for those who desire that all important drop zone, includes a custom steel ladder taking you down to the finished family room, 4th bedroom and storage area.
“I asked each of my kids what they’d like in their new home and my daughter just wanted a ladder,” says Jenny. (There are stairs off the great room to also reach this lower level.)
Each of the three large upper-level bedrooms are designed with ensuite bathrooms, walk-in closets and a walkout to its own porch. The two on the second floor were designed to be the “room kids would dream of growing up in,” says Jenny. That level also includes a laundry area. The separate master suite and an office can be found on the penthouse (4th) floor. The master features a modern fireplace as well as a separate HVAC system for perfect climate control.
The home’s many extra touches include barn doors into the Master Suite, oversized garage, custom wrought iron fence and beautiful breezeway for grilling and welcoming backdoor guests.
You can simply walk out the front door to enjoy sitting on the front porch of this beautiful lake house or head out in your golf cart to enjoy all the amenities and activities New Town has to offer.
