About This Home
As of October 2025Absolutely stunning, this home blends timeless old-world character with modern luxury. Classic details like an enclosed porch, built-in wood nooks, French door entryways, and authentic crown molding are perfectly complemented by today's upgrades, creating a warm yet sophisticated Restoration Hardware feel. Nestled in one of Itasca's most historic and desirable neighborhoods, you'll enjoy rolling tree-lined streets, nature preserve walking paths, and the convenience of being just blocks from downtown, the Metra station, and everything Itasca has to offer. No expense was spared in restoring and enhancing this property. Beyond the high-end finishes, the owner invested in long-term functionality with a new roof, windows, mechanicals, premium insulation, oversized gutters/downspouts, and a new concrete basement floor complete with drainage and sump pump system. Inside, the kitchen is a showstopper, featuring quartz countertops and backsplash, custom shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a designer hood, and a one-of-a-kind built-in dinette with quartz table and benches-perfect for everyday meals or entertaining. Just off the kitchen, a step-down family room boasts a large fireplace and oversized windows that flood the space with natural light. The main level also includes an office, bedroom, and full bath, making single-floor living an option. Upstairs, the dramatic primary suite offers an elevated sitting area with built-in shelving overlooking the spacious sleeping area. The primary bath is beautifully appointed with a walk-in tiled shower, double vanity, and laundry closet with washer/dryer. Three additional bedrooms, a full bath and multiple storage areas complete the second floor. The walkout basement is expansive, with a welcoming mudroom featuring custom cubbies, a large recreation space, workout area, additional bedrooms, full bath, and oversized utility/storage room. Set on a generous corner lot, the outdoor space is just as impressive with a sweeping rounded deck, professional night-scaping, mature trees, and an expansive lawn-ideal for gatherings, play, or quiet relaxation. Parking is never an issue thanks to a 2-car garage, oversized driveway, and alley access parking. With award-winning schools, a vibrant park district, and a charming downtown filled with coffee shops, restaurants, and boutiques, this home offers the best of Itasca living. All renovations were fully permitted and city-inspected, ensuring peace of mind for years to come.
