24234 S Sunset Lakes Drive, Manhattan, IL 60442

Welcome to this exceptional "better than new" custom-built residence, perfectly positioned on a premium corner lot in the sought-after Sunset Lakes community within the award-winning Lincoln-Way School District. This thoughtfully designed 5-bedroom, 3-bath home blends luxury, function, and flexibility.

The standout main-level layout offers a private bedroom, a full bath, and a dedicated laundry room with hookups ready for a washer and dryer - creating a complete, self-contained suite for extended-family or related living if needed or wanted, or simply ideal extra space to spread out, host guests, or work from home.

A second laundry awaits upstairs for everyday convenience. It's a rare, versatile floor plan that adapts to whatever your lifestyle calls for. From the moment you enter, quality craftsmanship shines through - rich hardwood flooring, custom woodworking, and elevated finishes throughout.

The heart of the home is the professionally designed custom kitchen, showcasing high-end cabinetry, stylish finishes, an oversized pantry, and a seamless flow into the main living spaces anchored by a cozy electric fireplace - ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

Upstairs, retreat to a private owner's suite designed to feel more like a luxury hotel than a bedroom. This expansive sanctuary includes an additional customized finished space - perfect as a gym, home office, or nursery - plus a spa-inspired ensuite with dual vanities, a stunning soaking tub, an oversized walk-in shower, and separate his-and-her walk-in closets.

The remaining bedrooms are generously sized, offering comfort, privacy, and exceptional storage. Step outside to a huge, professionally landscaped backyard built for gathering: a large patio with a natural gas hookup for the grill, a fire pit for cool evenings, and a swingset - all on an oversized corner lot offering openness and privacy rarely found.

Additional highlights include a roughed-in basement ready for your vision, a water softener, an upgraded large-capacity water heater, and NO HOA. Located just minutes from shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, this home delivers the space, quality, and lifestyle today's buyers are searching for.
