Designed and custom-built by its original owners-both architects, John H. and Diane L. Stitt, 118 Brookbridge reflects their passion and expertise for building environmentally responsive homes. Completed in 1979, this home intentionally uses its elevated wooded site, expansive windows, skylights, natural and reclaimed materials and outdoor living spaces to create a close connection between architecture and landscape. While retaining much of its original character, the home has been modernized and updated with the conveniences suiting today's lifestyle demands. You'll find endless storage options and clever uses of typically untapped space. Trout Valley residents enjoy 43 private acres with multiple amenities including marina, boat launch, lodge and beach at the Fox River, tennis and pickleball courts, park, community pool, horse boarding at the historic Prentice Smith Barn, stocked fishing ponds, basketball courts, seasonal ice rink, community garden plots and social gatherings at the barn. Across from the barn is The Hawthorn Shoppe which is just one of several independently owned businesses run by Trout Valley residents. New to Trout Valley is the meticulous and exquisite renovation project of the historic landmark and architecturally significant Mansion and Le Belle Vie. Built by John D. Hertz as a gift for his daughter Leona, the Mansion offers Trout Valley residents small-group gatherings such as Bread Day, Flower Arranging, Mahjong lessons and tours of the $12 million+ renovation funded completely with private funds by a Trout Valley resident. Thanks to the dedicated HOA, resident volunteers and continued investment in its historic landmarks, Trout Valley is a community poised for a new era of desirability and growth in home equity appreciation. All of this is a quick ride or short walk to the Metra, dining on Main street in Cary and is within easy reach of Crystal Lake, Barrington, O'Hare and downtown Chicago.
