About This Home

As of May 2024

One look at this refreshed and reimagined manor residence and your search for your DREAM HOME will be over. With nearly 4000 finished square feet, there is so much NEW to this home that we had to create a list! From the moment you step inside you will be impressed with the freshly painted interior, crown molding and gorgeous new hardwood floors that extend from the front door throughout both levels, including bedrooms. The 2 story entry creates an exquisite first impression with an abundance of natural light, new chandelier and new hardwood stairs with beautiful new wood newel posts and modern iron balusters. On either side of the entry is a separate dining room, with new lighting and custom picture moldings, and an expansive front living room that extends through French doors and into the family room, showcasing a brick surround gas fireplace. The kitchen displays classical style with white cabinetry, solid surface counters, recessed lighting, centered island, walk-in pantry and stainless steel appliances including a gas 6-burner cooktop and double wall oven. A large bonus room between the kitchen and garage includes the laundry and has enough space to be used as an office, craft room or massive mudroom. Beyond a doubt, the main floor showpiece is the visually stunning updated full bath that will impress all your guests. On the second floor, all bedrooms have been refreshed with new hardwood flooring, trim, lighting and paint. Even the hallway full bath has undergone a complete and stylish transformation. But the crown jewel in this distinguished home is the primary suite, including an enormous bedroom with vaulted tray ceiling, spacious walk-in closet and an enticing updated full bath featuring dual sinks, luxurious walk-in shower and free standing soaker bathtub. The partially finished basement includes a pool table for your entertainment. Hosting outdoor gatherings with family and friends is a delight with the generous paver patio and above ground pool while viewing the lush greenery of the 1.26 acre estate. Location is IDEAL - situated within the highly rated Oswego CUSD 308, only 10 minutes to Downtown Plainfield, 20 minutes to Naperville and with excellent access to Chicago via nearby I-55. This DREAM HOME is awaiting you, so schedule your PRIVATE SHOWING today!
