Description

18552 Alice Lane is the most significant “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity in Villa Park. The iconic storybook frontage—with the welcoming front porch and classic white picket fence creates an immediate emotional connection of warmth and homecoming. To the side, a private, brick-pillared gated motor court leads to a four-car garage, an elite wing for arrivals and automotive collections. The floor plan is a masterclass in traditional design. The formal living and dining rooms perfectly bookend the foyer, creating a balanced, welcome that leads the eye toward the sweeping curved staircase and double-volume tray ceiling. From there, the family room flows into a custom central bar and hosting kitchen. Along the back wall, a gallery of windows features french doors stepping out to a deep, covered wrap-around porch. This monumental outdoor veranda offers an exceptionally wide, column-lined footprint that feels like an endless outdoor living room. An uncompromised footprint primed to be transformed into a modern panoramic indoor/outdoor entertainment masterpiece. The home’s architecture is defined by its intelligent layout. Of the six bedrooms, five function as true en-suite retreats, including two guest en-suites on the main level. The primary suite is a stunning, light-filled sanctuary boasting an expansive bath, a massive walk-in closet, and elegant french doors that open to a private second-story balcony. Just down the hall unveils an expansive, vaulted Bonus Room. This light-filled multi-purpose hub features dramatic architectural angles and acts as the ultimate palette for an in-home theater, home gym, game room, or a private guest retreat. What makes this property a “once-in-a-lifetime” find is its potential. The interior remains a perfectly preserved time capsule. You are inheriting a high-performance architectural shell in its purest form. From the four fireplaces to the hidden East and West attic wings, the infrastructure is peerless. An upstairs utility suite stands ready, already plumbed for a secondary upstairs laundry wing. 18552 Alice Lane is the unicorn—a property waiting specifically for a visionary to bring it into the modern era. The bones are perfect, the scale is monumental, and the opportunity is yours.
