About This Home
As of May 2025Welcome to this stunning new listing in the heart of Elmhurst - a beautifully preserved English Tudor that perfectly blends timeless charm with thoughtful modern updates. Ideally situated just steps from town and the train, this home offers the ultimate combination of character, convenience, and comfort. Step inside to a spacious sunken living room, where a striking barreled ceiling, a grand fireplace, and an abundance of natural light create an unforgettable first impression. The formal dining room, framed by oversized windows, is designed for memorable gatherings - bright, airy, and simply beautiful. The updated eat-in kitchen is a showstopper, featuring newly refinished white and gray cabinetry, brushed gold hardware, quartz countertops with a breakfast bar, a casual dining area, and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the cozy family room, both spaces opening through sliding doors to a private back deck - perfect for indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, along with two full baths. The unfinished attic offers exciting potential - envision a fourth bedroom and bath, a spacious home office, or an inspiring workout studio. The finished basement adds even more living space with a large rec room, a full bathroom, and a spacious utility and storage area - perfect for entertaining, hobbies, or everyday relaxation. Outside, the beautifully landscaped corner lot is surrounded by mature trees, offering a peaceful backyard retreat. The attached three-car garage provides plenty of room for storage, bikes, and even your home gym setup. In real estate, they say location is everything - but with this home, you truly get it all.
