About this home
This custom-built brick home, accented with timeless limestone details, is a true standout. Nestled on an expansive, professionally landscaped nearly half-acre lot, this home combines elegance, comfort, and functionality. The fully fenced backyard, complete with a brand-new privacy fence, utility shed, and an oversized entertainment deck with an outdoor fireplace, is perfect for gatherings or quiet evenings dining al-fresco. A spacious 3-car garage, paver driveway, and a prime corner lot adjacent to the neighborhood walking path add to its appeal. Step inside, and you'll be greeted by a home that seamlessly blends classic charm with modern updates. The spacious and bright foyer set the tone for the rest of the home. The spacious formal living room is to your left as you enter, with the dining room to the right just off of the kitchen and features sophisticated new wainscoting trim, while the newly updated chef's kitchen steals the show. With a large eat-at island, a sunny breakfast area, and an open flow into the family room-anchored by a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace-this space is an entertainer's dream. (A photo rendering is shown for redesign inspiration of the FR fireplace) The first floor also boasts a convenient laundry room, a mudroom with built-in lockers, and a stylish half bath. Upstairs, the primary suite bathroom has been beautifully updated to create a luxurious retreat. The primary also features a large sitting area that can double as an extra office space. The fully finished basement extends the living space, offering a large recreation area, a serving bar with wine coolers, an additional bedroom, a play/toy room, and plenty of storage. Situated near Northcroft Park, shopping, dining, and the Metra, this home offers a lifestyle of convenience and connection.
