About This Home

As of February 2026

Highly sought-after Elmhurst location within walking distance to downtown and the Metra train station. Completely rebuilt in 2015, this home features a thoughtfully designed open floor plan offering flexibility and effortless flow for today's lifestyle. The main level includes three distinct living areas-ideal for a living room, playroom, or home office-along with an expansive dining and kitchen setup which is perfect for entertaining. The gourmet kitchen showcases high-end cabinetry, granite countertops, a large island, stainless steel appliances, and a cozy breakfast nook. A convenient laundry room with pantry is located just off the kitchen, along with a mudroom and closet when entering from the back porch. The rebuild incorporated beautiful white millwork throughout, creating a striking contrast against the dark-stained hardwood floors. The second floor offers four generously sized bedrooms, hall bath and a spacious primary suite with a large walk-in closet. The primary bath features double granite sinks and a walk-in shower. The basement is partially finished and features zoned HVAC with two separate thermostats. Situated on a large corner lot, the home includes a two-car detached garage and a beautiful outdoor patio. This hard-to-beat location is ready and waiting to be fully enjoyed. ** Landlord is requesting a 2 year lease or longer **
