About this home
Situated on a rare double lot in the heart of Elmhurst, 500 S. Kenilworth presents an exceptional opportunity in one of the city's most coveted walk-to-everything locations. With its impressive scale, premier setting, and expansive grounds, this property offers the rare chance to elevate an already special home into something extraordinary. The thoughtfully designed floor plan provides generous living spaces filled with natural light and timeless character. The kitchen anchors the home and offers wonderful potential to be refreshed and reimagined to reflect today's design preferences. Gracious formal and informal living areas create an ideal foundation for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living, while seamless connections to the outdoors enhance the home's inviting flow. The backyard is truly a standout-an expansive private retreat featuring an in-ground pool and spa, fire pit, sport court, and sweeping side yard. Properties of this size and caliber in such a central location are exceedingly rare, offering both immediate enjoyment and long-term opportunity. The main level includes a formal dining room, elegant living room, private office, sunroom with heated floors, mudroom, and attached three-car garage. Upstairs, the primary suite offers the space and layout to evolve into a luxurious sanctuary, while three additional bedrooms provide generous proportions and abundant light. The finished walk-out lower level adds flexibility for recreation, wellness, work-from-home needs, or guest accommodations. Just steps from the Prairie Path, top-rated schools, the Metra, and vibrant downtown Elmhurst, this is a remarkable opportunity to own a distinguished property on one of the city's premier parcels.
