Welcome to 12697 Southwest Highway, an exceptional Palos Park estate that masterfully blends architectural artistry with modern elegance. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by lush gardens, mature trees, and a stunning custom facade that sets the tone for the sophistication within.

The home's commanding presence and thoughtfully curated details make it one of the most distinguished residences in Palos Park - and an extraordinary value that cannot be replicated for the price. Step through the grand double doors into a dramatic two-story foyer, where a sweeping staircase and Brazilian cherrywood floors instantly captivate. Custom millwork, crown molding, and French doors frame every space with timeless sophistication. Natural light pours in from all angles, accentuating the home's architectural beauty and creating a warm, inviting ambiance throughout.

With five ensuite bedrooms and five full bathrooms, this home provides ample room for family, guests, and entertaining on any scale. Each suite is designed as its own sanctuary, with private balconies, elegant finishes, and serene garden views. Imported fireplaces from Morocco add global elegance, while French doors open seamlessly to outdoor terraces designed for year-round enjoyment. Outside, multiple entertaining areas create an unparalleled atmosphere for hosting - complete with a custom fireplace and built-in grill that make al fresco dining a true experience. The lower level is a destination in itself - featuring a fully equipped wet bar, a theater screen for movie nights, a gym, and a luxurious steam room that elevates relaxation to an art form. Whether you're unwinding after a workout or entertaining friends in style, this level of detail ensures every lifestyle need is met with sophistication. Additional highlights include a custom elevator, seamlessly connecting all levels and providing both convenience and elegance - a hallmark of thoughtful design.
