About This Home

As of August 2025

Welcome to your dream home in the highly coveted Lakeside Estates community, where timeless design meets modern comfort. Nestled on a peaceful cul-de-sac in a storybook neighborhood, this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom residence offers an exceptional lifestyle inside and out. A charming brick paver walkway leads to a grand foyer, opening gracefully to both a sunlit living room and an elegant formal dining area-perfect for entertaining in style! The main floor balances sophistication and practicality with a private office behind French doors, and a warm, inviting family room with a vaulted ceiling, recessed lighting, and a classic brick fireplace. At the heart of the home is a striking all-white kitchen, fully remodeled in 2017 and designed to impress. Outfitted with beautiful quartzite countertops, a spacious center island, and high-end appliances, including a Miele dishwasher, Wolf oven, steam oven & range, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. This culinary space is as functional as it is beautiful! A butler's pantry adds extra convenience, while the adjacent sun-drenched eating area features sliding glass doors that open to the backyard, creating the perfect transition between indoor and outdoor living. Recessed lighting above enhances the kitchen's fresh, airy ambiance, and the home's open-concept layout allows each room to flow effortlessly into the next, creating a seamless experience whether you're hosting or enjoying a quiet night in. Completing the main level, you'll find a generous laundry room with built-in storage and folding space, along with an updated powder room that echoes the home's refined aesthetic. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms await. The luxurious primary suite features a walk-in closet and a spa-like bath, complete with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. The finished basement is a true extension of the living space, with zones for relaxing, entertaining, fitness, and more. Recessed lighting and ample space make it feel bright and welcoming, and the fully equipped second kitchen, complete with refrigerator, oven, and sink, opens the door to endless possibilities. Step outside and enjoy your own private backyard retreat. The brick paver patio offers the perfect setting for outdoor dining or lounging in the sun, while the surrounding landscaping provides beauty and privacy. Spend summer afternoons gardening, playing with pets, or simply unwinding under the open sky in this peaceful oasis. All of this, just one block from the scenic Deer Grove Forest Preserve, where biking and walking trails await. Just minutes from shopping, dining, entertainment, and the Metra train station. This is more than a home. It's a thoughtfully designed sanctuary where comfort, elegance, and convenience come together in perfect harmony!
