About this home
Welcome to a home that checks all the boxes for location, space, style, and everyday livability. Set in a charming, tree-lined neighborhood just minutes from the Metra, directly across from the elementary and junior high campus and down the block from outdoor pickleball and the community park district pool, this home puts convenience right outside your door. Inside, the bright and freshly painted living and dining rooms and new carpet create an inviting first impression, while the thoughtfully designed kitchen keeps things both stylish and functional with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an open pass-through to the showstopper of the home-the enormous family room. With its vaulted ceiling, skylights, hardwood floor and incredible amount of space, it's the kind of room made for movie nights, game days, entertaining, and simply spreading out. Step from the family room into the charming screened porch, where the details make this space feel like an outdoor living room. A vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling, decorative bracket details, accent lighting, and ceiling fan create the perfect setting for morning coffee, summer dinners, or relaxing at the end of the day. The welcoming yard adds even more room to enjoy, complete with a handy shed for extra storage. Upstairs, you'll find hardwood floors, three bedrooms and two full baths, including a spacious primary suite with a huge walk-in closet and private en-suite bath featuring beautiful natural stone tilework and a walk-in shower. The finished basement adds another layer of living space with a warm and welcoming recreation room, complete with a built-in bar and plenty of storage-perfect for entertaining, a home gym, playroom, or movie lounge. Modern conveniences are thoughtfully built in, including Ring motion detectors and doorbell, a Nest thermostat, and built-in speakers throughout the home and outdoors. An attached one-car garage adds everyday convenience. With its unbeatable location, flexible floor plan, oversized family spaces, fabulous screened porch, and smart modern features, this is a home designed for the way people want to live today....
