About this home
Welcome to 26W028 Prairie Ave, a charming and beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2 bath home in unincorporated Wheaton that offers all the wonderful amenities of Wheaton living with the benefit of lower taxes. This comfortable and well-maintained home features an attached two car garage, a spacious layout, and an exceptional location close to schools, parks, trails, and community attractions. The inviting main level begins with a bright and open living room highlighted by a large picture window that brings in natural light and offers views of the cozy neighborhood. The living room flows effortlessly into the generous eat in kitchen, which features abundant cabinetry, Corian countertops, an undermount sink, black stainless steel 'no fingerprint" appliances, and sliding glass doors that lead directly to the expansive backyard. Outdoors, enjoy a deck, patio, hot tub, and mature trees-an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining. Gleaming oak hardwood flooring extends throughout the main level, which also includes three nicely sized bedrooms and an updated bathroom with a new vanity, skylight, and beautifully tiled custom shower. The lower level provides a large family room perfect for gatherings, work from home flexibility, or related living arrangements, along with a second full bathroom for convenience. This home offers numerous recent updates, including a remodeled deck, exterior stonework, newer roof and siding, an upgraded garage door, newer appliances, vinyl windows and connection to city water. An oversized concrete driveway provides ample parking, and best of all-there are no HOA fees. The location is truly hard to beat. The home is within walking distance of both the elementary and middle schools and just down the street from Cosley Zoo. Residents can enjoy the Fourth of July fireworks at Graf Park near the DuPage County Fairgrounds, explore multiple beautiful parks and nature areas including Lincoln Marsh, Northside Park, and Herrick Park, and take advantage of the Prairie Path bike trail running right through the neighborhood. Downtown Wheaton, the exceptional park district, two amazing community pools, and several fitness options-including Wheaton Sport Center less than five minutes away-are all nearby. Cantigny Park is only minutes away as well. Commuters will appreciate the close proximity to multiple Metra stations as well as quick and easy access to major interstates, making travel throughout the western suburbs and into Chicago very convenient. This beautifully updated home offers incredible value, a comfortable and practical layout, and an outstanding location in one of Wheaton's most desirable unincorporated areas. A wonderful opportunity you won't want to miss.
