96 Ronan Road presents a rare opportunity to purchase a one of a kind, historic home in the Town of Fort Sheridan. From the moment you cross the threshold of this magnificent home, you will be transported to a timeless bucolic oasis. Built in 1892 to store artillery, this 135-foot long historic building was resplendently redesigned and renovated in 2002 to create a stunning 6,000-square-foot home that integrates the character of the original space with sumptuous comforts of modern life. The sixteen 10-foot tall archways in the perimeter walls were all transformed into doorways that fill the home with natural light and open onto luxuriously landscaped gardens. From the front entry, you will be swept into the spacious, centrally located, light-filled living room that has a 26-foot-high ceiling adorned with an antique wrought-iron chandelier. Along one wall, you will see an open staircase leading to the second floor bridge that connects the family room/workout room at one end with the ensuite bedroom, guest bedroom and full bath at the other end. On the opposite wall you will find a large brick and limestone wood burning fireplace flanked by two deep built-in wood cabinets. At one end of the first floor you will walk into the extravagant chef's kitchen that has Italian marble countertops and sink, top of the line appliances, a large multifunctional island, a cozy sitting area and an intimate eating area. Between the living room and kitchen you will find the elegant dining room on one side and a bar, wine cellar, half-bath and utility room on the other side. At the opposite end of the first floor you will enter the luxurious primary bedroom with its ensuite marble 5-piece bathroom and dressing room with island storage. Full garden views on three sides of the palatial bedroom create a tranquil sanctuary. A bonus feature on the first floor is the home office which is complete with a full built-in desk, credenza and shelves. Don't miss this. It is an opportunity of a lifetime.
