Overview

Act Fast-This Private Estate Won't Last Long (Again!) Welcome to one of Wayne's most iconic and exclusive estates on White Thorne Road-an address that speaks for itself. This extraordinary residence, custom-built by former McDonald's CEO James Skinner, is privately situated on nearly 5 acres and backs to a tranquil 22-acre forest preserve. Last time it hit the market, it sold immediately-and with good reason. Homes like this don't come around often, and when they do, they go fast.

Inside, the updated and sophisticated interiors blend old-world charm with modern comfort, creating a one-of-a-kind living experience. Stunning millwork, 5 fireplaces, designer lighting, custom tile work, and an airy, sun-drenched floor plan set the tone for luxury living. The foyer alone will take your breath away with a grand staircase and dramatic windows, flanked by a richly paneled home office and a formal dining room built for entertaining. The heart of the home-a show-stopping chef's kitchen-features luxury appliances, custom cabinetry, an oversized island, walk-in and butler's pantries, built-in desk, beverage drawers, wet bar with second dishwasher, and a cozy breakfast banquette. Connected seamlessly is the vaulted-ceiling hearth room with a massive stone fireplace-a perfect gathering space year-round. And just off the breezeway? A pet lover's dream: hot/cold water access and a dog run, or simply the ideal drop zone for muddy boots in the winter. The first-floor primary suite is your private spa retreat, complete with dual walk-in closets, a remodeled bath featuring a steam shower, programmable soaking tub, and a fireplace that sets the mood for ultimate relaxation. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms all include en-suite bathrooms and walk-in closets. Downstairs, the finished walk-out basement is an entertainer's dream-featuring a newly updated bar with built-in Kegerator, full kitchenette, media center, gym, music room, guest suite, and so much more. Step outside and feel like you've escaped to a luxury resort. Whether you're lounging poolside, grilling under the pergola, spotting deer near the forest edge, or serving up a game on your private tennis/pickleball court-this backyard delivers it all. Additional upgrades include: new HVAC (July 2023), surround sound, new sub-fencing for added safety, irrigation system, extensive exterior lighting, and a full security setup.
