The center of the home–the living room–features neutral carpet, a fireplace with wood mantle, a picture window overlooking the back yard, and triple crown molding.

Sidelights with leaded glass surround the front door. The foyer also features hardwood flooring, a tray ceiling, and access door to the stairs leading to the unfinished, 41x35 basement.

Guests will enjoy an easy flow from the family room, kitchen, dining room, 16x14 sunroom, and deck. A brass chandelier highlights hardwood floors and a wall of windows overlooking the sunroom and backyard.

A vaulted ceiling with two skylights, bay window, and southern exposure give loads of natural light to the kitchen. The well-planned space includes task lighting over white laminate counters, a planning desk, large pantry, and separate broom closet. Oak cabinets with raised-panel doors surround built-in appliances (included). Other features include a ceramic, bi-level sink, inlay tile in the eating area, and a cozy window seat overlooking perennial gardens in the front yard.

A gas fireplace with granite surround and custom oak mantle is the focal point of the family room. A tray ceiling with skylight and quad casement windows with decorative arch offer sunlight and pizazz to this entertainment room. The family room also features neutral berber carpet with hardwood surround, recessed and track lighting, and a ceiling fan.

A coffered tray ceiling is a highlight of the master bedroom. A very large walk-in closet features a pocket door and attic access door, and includes built-in shelves and rods.

The spacious master bath features a double sink with brass and chrome fixtures, a whirlpool tub, recessed lighting, a large skylight, and separate commode area. Stone-look decorative ceramic tile adorns the floor, as well as the doorless shower.

Bedrooms 2 and 3 feature remote-controlled overhead lights and fans, casement windows with intregal cellular shades, and neutral carpet. The window seat in the 2nd bedroom overlooks the front yard.

The hall bath features ceramic flooring and shower surround, a double sink with chrome fixtures, oak cabinets, recessed lighting, and a skylight.

Through a large mudroom/storage hallway, and over the 3-car garage, lies a private, secluded office suite including a large main office, smaller dormer office/craft room, storage closet, and half bath. The sunny main office overlooks the back yard and is heated and cooled separately from the main parts of the home (the garage is heated as well). The closet features built-in shelves for office supplies, and the large powder room includes a white sink and commode.

Green Acres is a relatively small neighborhood, with 78 custom-built homes that are all uniquely different. Some homes boast original owners, others are owned by family members of original owners.

Green Acres’ unincorporated status gives owners many advantages, like lower taxes and no restrictions on watering. Township services can be superior to Naperville city services, including faster snowplowing, free brush pick-up (May through October), and free fall leaf pick-up.

Green Acres’ homeowners can, however, utilize Naperville ambulance and fire services, as well as park district programs. City library cards are available for a fee.

Green Acres’ residents enjoy the laid-back feel of country living–no sidewalks, street lights, curbs or gutters–by design! The private, but friendly, neighborhood has a rural feel zealously guarded, for over 50 years, by a vigilant homeowner’s association.
