Calling All Luxury Connoisseurs – Spoil Yourself Silly with This Renovated Addison Estate

The Paulette Greene Group with Ebby Halliday Realtors had a tremendous 2023. In fact, at the recent agent awards evening, “The Ebbys,” they were named (or is ‘crowned’ a better word?) the No. 1 group in the entire company. Consistently listing and moving exquisite homes like this French-inspired Sharif & Munir masterpiece is part of the reason.

The stunner at 14816 Bellbrook Drive is set in the enchanting Bellbrook Estates community of Addison where the lots are big (this one is .51 acres), the trees are tall, and the luxe factor is high.

Sharif & Munir was the original developer in 1986, and they chose the 24-acre park-like site for its location – close to Tollway access, the former Prestonwood mall, and (raise your hand if you remember) Sakowitz Village, among other area attractions of the time. Builders were hand-selected only after meeting certain criteria, including successful experience in luxury homebuilding, and strict architectural control was employed to ensure the homeowners a harmonious, though varied, streetscape. 

Curb appeal for this one is ‘c’est très bien,’ as the French say, with the circle drive, custom landscaping, and custom glass front doors. Inside, prepare to be dazzled by the meticulous attention to detail throughout the 9,154-square-foot home with six bedrooms and 7.2 baths. 

The interior is designed for a connoisseur of luxury living. As you enter the two-story foyer, wide-plank, natural finish white oak flooring is underfoot, a custom 15-foot rain crystal chandelier is overhead, and a spiral staircase with intricate iron handrail stretches out before you.

Once your heart stops racing and you close your mouth, be sure to check out the other equally gorgeous chandeliers in the flanking formals, plus the quartzite wall with fireplace in the living room. Five additional fireplaces are scattered throughout the home, meaning that warmth and ambiance are never in short supply.

“The details are quite unexpected,” says listing agent Paulette Greene, “and yet, also not unexpected, given Sharif & Munir’s reputation for luxury. Too bad MLS has a photo limit, and we can’t show you everything in an article. That just means you’ll have to bring your agent and come see them all for yourself!” 

Now, let’s talk kitchen – a 5-star chef’s dream come true. The La Cornue Master-crafted cooking range stands as a centerpiece, complemented by a Miele Coffee bar and a Sub-Zero fridge with six pull-out drawers. And that’s just the beginning – a Viking oven and warming drawer, two dishwashers, two sinks, wine cooler, and an expansive island perfect for gathering around with loved ones.

Entertainment options abound, with not one but two media rooms, a game and card room, a bar, and a study – perfect for boys’ or girls’ night in, or for indulging in some well-deserved relaxation after you send everyone out for some TopGolf or a movie. 

The first-floor primary suite is, in a word, decadent. And it is an excellent gauge for knowing that you’ve “arrived.” The lavish bath beckons with dual closets, separate vanities, and a workout room overlooking the backyard oasis. Step outside to the pool for a refreshing dip or to the spa to melt away the day’s stresses.

There is an additional primary suite upstairs, a 4-car epoxy garage, and outside, a Viking grill, fire pit, smoker, and turf lawn.
