About This Home

As of April 2022

Simply Stunning! So much home for your money! This home is totally move-in ready. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac on 1.7 private acres backing to Poplar Creek Forest Preserve you will be wowed by the curb appeal from the moment you drive up. From the front door you will immediately have sweeping views of the forest preserve out beyond the two story family room with an entire wall of windows that not only provide spectacular views, but also flood the space with natural light. The gorgeous white chef's kitchen is open to the family room and breakfast room. Prepare romantic dinners for two or elaborate holiday feasts on the 48" Viking gas range with both griddle and grill. Stainless French door refrigerator with freezer on the bottom, newer subway tile backsplash (2020), granite counters, newer dishwasher (2020) and incredible views at the sink will actually make you rethink "having" to do the dishes! Work remotely (if you can take your eyes off the view!) from the private first floor study that shares a fireplace with the family room. There is plenty of room for all of your files and electronic equipment in the study's large walk-in closet (could easily be a first floor bedroom if needed with adjacent powder room). Spacious formal living and dining rooms provide room for your largest gatherings. Off the kitchen you will find a very large laundry/mud room with access to both the 3 car garage (with Gladiator cabinets) and back yard. Large master retreat with sitting room, spa bath and room sized walk-in closet! Three additional bedrooms upstairs (one with ensuite bath and two share a jack 'n jill bath) mean you can forever say goodbye to those morning traffic jams. Newer expanded Trex deck (2020) is practically maintenance free! Full walkout lower level with rec room, 5th bedroom, full bath and walk-in cedar closet. Brand new Roof & gutters (2021), carpet on main levels (2021), landscaping around deck (2021), Newer interior paint (2017), exterior paint (2019), 2 new Daiken HVAC systems (2019). Hardwood floors were refinished (2018) Outdoor storage shed. Whole home water filtration system. #AmazingHome!
