19631 NW Frontage Road, Shorewood, IL 60404

Some homes are built. This one was lovingly shaped over a lifetime. Offered for the very first time by the family who has cherished it for years, this extraordinary Shorewood estate is in a league of its own in craftsmanship, character, and quality; the kind of home that simply isn't built anymore.

Set on seven serene, private and partially wooded acres complete with a natural pond, the setting alone is breathtaking, and from the moment you arrive, you know this is something special. Inside, the level of care becomes immediately apparent. Solid oak parquet flooring, timeless tile and hardwood flooring grounds the home with warmth and timeless character; a detail you just don't find in new construction.

Generous room sizes and large closets throughout speak to a thoughtful original design, while many additional storage areas ensure this home works as beautifully as it looks. The family room is the heart of the home. Vaulted ceilings with beams draw your eye upward, while a dramatic stone wood-burning fireplace anchors the space below.

A skylight fills the room with natural light, and rich, rustic wood flooring completes a space that's made for gathering. Flowing naturally from the family room is a flexible bonus space, originally used as a library, study nook, and music area, that's ready for whatever YOU need it to be.

Entertaining comes easily here. Two distinct dining spaces, one formal, one relaxed and oversized along with the expansive kitchen with newer applinances and pantry gives this home a versatility that's hard to find. And spanning the length of the kitchen and breakfast room, a stunning sunroom brings the outside in and connects you to the remarkable property beyond.

With six-plus bedrooms, an oversized laundry room, and three full bathrooms spread across more than 4,000 square feet, there is room here for every season of life. The bedroom sizes alone will stop you in your tracks. Some big-ticket items have been taken care of too!

Full roof tear-off (2021), new furnace (2025), new water heater (2025), remodeled master bathroom (2018) is a quiet retreat, and a new sump pump (2026) - so you can move in with confidence and simply enjoy the home. Pride of ownership shows in every corner. This is a rare opportunity to own something that was built with intention, maintained with care, and loved deeply - and it shows.
