About 1429 Braxton Road
Welcome to a home where exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful updates, and effortless everyday living come together in one of Timber Creek's most desirable settings. Situated on a beautifully landscaped, generously sized lot in Libertyville, this custom home offers the space, quality, and attention to detail today's most discerning buyers are looking for along with direct access to the walking and bike trails of Independence Grove. From the moment you arrive, the brand-new front walkway and professional landscaping, completed in 2025, create a beautiful first impression. Step inside and the dramatic two-story foyer immediately sets the tone, with an open staircase, 9-foot ceilings, and an abundance of natural light. Throughout the home, beautiful updates blend seamlessly with timeless architectural details. The wood floors were refinished and new upstairs wood flooring was added in 2022, while the entire home has been freshly painted. The elegant living and dining rooms are designed for memorable gatherings, featuring crown molding, wainscoting, large windows, and custom window treatments. A spacious first-floor office with French doors provides the perfect private workspace. At the heart of the home is a stunning gourmet kitchen designed to inspire. Custom cabinetry extends to the ceiling and features soft-close drawers and dovetail construction, complemented by high-end built-in Thermador appliances, double ovens, quartz countertops, a beautiful glass backsplash, recessed lighting, and an oversized island with convenient outlets. The sunny breakfast area, framed by a bay window, opens directly to the expansive patio-making morning coffee, casual dinners, and summer entertaining feel effortless. Just beyond the kitchen, the inviting family room offers peaceful views of the mature backyard and nature beyond. Gather around the gas fireplace with its new doors, enjoy the new in-wall speakers, or simply relax beneath the ceiling fan. The first-floor laundry room adds everyday convenience with built-in cubbies, a large sink, and abundant cabinetry. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite feels like a private retreat. High ceilings, a beautiful feature wall, a spacious walk-in closet with custom organizers, and a completely renovated spa-like primary bath with high-end finishes create a space you will look forward to coming home to. Three additional bedrooms feature ceiling fans and generous closets, sharing an updated hall bath. And then there is the finished basement-an incredible extension of the living space. The modern recreation room provides room to entertain, while a dedicated gym/5th bedroom offers flexibility for guests, work, hobbies, or wellness. The spa-inspired basement bath features a walk-in shower, while abundant storage and workshop space make this level as practical as it is impressive. Step outside and discover the backyard you have been dreaming about. Fully fenced and surrounded by mature trees, it offers privacy, beauty, and room to enjoy every season. The large custom patio, firepit, and new oversized pergola create the perfect setting for summer gatherings, quiet evenings, and unforgettable celebrations. Outdoor lighting adds ambiance after sunset, and the natural gas hookup makes outdoor grilling easy. Major improvements include a new roof in 2023, furnace in 2022, and approximately $20,000 in new front walkway and professional landscaping completed in 2025. Ideally located near the train, with easy access to expressways and all that Libertyville has to offer, this is more than a beautifully updated home-it is a place to build a life. From morning walks and bike rides to evenings around the firepit, quiet workdays in the home office, and weekends filled with family and friends, every space has been thoughtfully designed for the way you want to live. Impeccably maintained, beautifully updated, and truly move-in ready-this is the kind of home you walk into and immediately know you have found something special
