About This Home

Welcome home to an all-brick, meticulously maintained home situated in a purely residential area and in one of the best pockets of Des Plaines! This home is perfect, and it also has a great vibe! Walk into an inviting living room area accentuated by hardwood floors, warm colors, a fireplace and large windows that invite sunlight into your home, and your heart. Then, lounge comfortably on your sectional couch as you watch your TV favorite show, and with your favorite people! But wait, there is more! Entertain family and friends in your roomy dining room decorated with a pretty chandelier, large windows, warm wall tones and a double door leading to a temperature-controlled sunroom. The sun room is beautiful! It wipes out the winter blues. It magnifies the summer season. And it warms the heart: year-round! And, the kitchen is equally perfect with its custom maple, shaker-style kitchen cabinets, tasteful granite countertop, stainless steel appliances and a carefully curated backsplash. Enjoy breakfast or dinner in your little nook too; it is a cozy spot for those delicious meals. There is even more! There is a first-floor bedroom and a first-floor full bathroom, which adds to the appeal of this home. It is functional. And perfect. It even gets better with the second floor! There are three additional bedrooms on the second floor. Each bedroom is spacious with ample closet space! And then there is a marvelous bathroom on the second floor that just dazzles with a stunning double vanity piece adorned with a quartz countertop, a modern mirror, immaculately set tiles and a decorative wall adorned with marble tiles; it features both a standup shower and a tub. The bathroom touches on all levels: classy, functional and happy. And the finished lower level is just as impressive! The lower level features a space fitting for an additional family room, an office, an exercise room or even a playroom; it is dressed with recessed lighting and soothing wall colors. The other side of the basement is unfinished, and it is perfect for storage. Then, we have a beautiful private yard, a perfectly sized patio set and maturing trees. This home is just beautiful, and it checks off all the boxes, and it is close to everything: schools, shopping, transportation, downtown, 294, the Kennedy, O'Hare Airport, restaurants and so much more! It is a true 10! Show and sell.
