    Property Description

    Rarely do you find an estate that offers the true best of both worlds: the everyday convenience of in-town living paired with the peace, privacy, and expansive freedom of 5.5 rolling acres right here in Knoxville, Illinois. Custom-built in 1971, this standout property showcases brilliant contemporary architectural character that modern construction rarely replicates. Designed with scale and light in mind, the residence immediately impresses with its sprawling, open-concept floor plan. Massive picture windows invite natural light while framing panoramic, uninterrupted views of your private acreage, seamlessly connecting the interior to the lush grounds outside. The generous main living areas are tailor-made for both quiet evenings and effortless large-scale entertaining. Downstairs, the finished basement dramatically expands your living footprint. Whether envisioned as a media room, home gym, game hall, private guest suite, or creative studio, this versatile lower level provides exceptional space and functionality to fit any lifestyle. Outside, 5.5 private acres serve as your personal retreat—offering ample room for recreation, hobby gardens, outdoor entertaining, or simply enjoying scenic open skies with no immediate neighbors encroaching on your perimeter. Yet, step off the grounds, and you are minutes from Knoxville schools, local dining, parks, and easy access to I-74.
