About This Home

As of November 2024

Elegantly renovated, this 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home is just steps from Elmhurst's lively uptown area. The stunning kitchen boasts quartzite countertops, a Viking range, and Thermador wall ovens, seamlessly flowing into a family room with a wet bar, beverage fridge, and wine storage. The first floor features two fireplaces and an office with custom built-ins. Step outside to a spacious Trex deck, a charming paver patio with a gas fire pit, and a built-in gas grill. Upstairs, you'll find two newly remodeled bathrooms, including a primary suite with a double vanity and steam shower. The hall bath offers a double vanity, a light-up mirror, and a towel warmer. The basement includes a full bath, a versatile room with new vinyl plank flooring-perfect for a gym or playroom-and a rec room with a projector for movie nights. The beautifully landscaped yard offers ample space for gardening and play, complemented by a 2-car detached garage. Additional updates include new light fixtures, refinished hardwood floors, painted fireplaces, a new front door, and a new water heater. Exterior was just painted.
