About This Home

As of June 2020

It's very rare when an A+ house is in an A+ location...welcome to 1605 Highland Avenue! Set in sought-after MCKENZIE SQUARE in a desirable "walk to" location, close to the Metra, schools, town and numerous parks. This fabulously stylish home is turn-key perfection. What makes this property so special is the perfect blend of open floor plan with great circular flow, to include an open kitchen-family room with adjoining office and designated mud room. The cook's kitchen with white custom cabinetry, commercial grade appliances and breakfast table area is ideal for family gatherings and entertaining. Relax and enjoy the spacious family room leading to an enclosed porch, the perfect space to unwind during the warmer months, while enjoying the view of the lushly landscaped back yard. The second floor has four bedrooms including a serene master suite with his & hers walk-in closet, freshly updated master bath with two separate vanities and a second laundry tucked away in an alcove. The versatile space on the third floor with a full bath serves well as both a private office retreat or as an additional fifth bedroom. The basement includes a recreation room, perfect for kids play or teen hangout, along with laundry & plenty of storage. This is a block party & lemonade stand kind of street. Pride of ownership abounds, an outstanding property that you will want to call home.
