City life doesn't get better than this move-in ready, almost 2700 SF downtown Elmhurst townhome, located within the peaceful gated confines of a beautiful professionally landscaped residential community. Uniquely situated, this home offers a newer covered front porch with a courtyard view, and an attached two car garage with direct street access and a private driveway that allows for two more parking spaces. Once inside this elegant two bedroom, two and a half bath home, you will immediately appreciate its meticulous upkeep and tasteful neutral decorating. The main level features an open plan with an expansive, sun-filled living and dining space. Your eyes will be drawn to the classically styled gas fireplace as you admire the lovely hardwood floors. You will be delighted to see the sliding glass door that opens to a balcony perfect for your morning cup of coffee. The updated kitchen is a cook's dream with granite counter tops, all stainless steel appliances and thoughtfully designed soft-close custom cabinetry that includes a handy pantry, loads of vertical bakeware storage, two-sided cabinet access in the peninsula, and under cabinet lighting. The second floor has two generous en suite bedrooms and lots of closets including the one that houses laundry, boasting the one year old full size LG washer and dryer. The impressive master bedroom has a tray ceiling and picture perfect alcove with a great courtyard view. The stunning master bath is finished in marble with a large soaking tub, stand alone shower, and gorgeous double sink vanity. A walk-in closet with built-in cabinetry includes an unexpected surprise.

Downstairs, you'll enjoy relaxing in the family room or opt to step outside on the paver patio for some fresh air. The basement has been nicely finished and is great flex space. Currently used as an office, with an egress window and closets, it could also be suitable as an extra bedroom, playroom, or media studio. All this is just minutes away from the train station, tons of restaurants and shopping, beautiful parks, the library, and easy highway access. Absolute perfection!
