About This Home
It's easy to fall in love with this home! Located on a tree-lined street in West Pointe Gardens with views of Meier Park and award-winning Burlington School District 301, this Dartmouth model has it all. Sip your morning coffee on the charming front porch, host dinner in the formal dining room, and cook like a pro in the chef's kitchen with 42" cabinets, granite counters, and a spacious island. The open family room is filled with natural light, while the upstairs loft offers extra space for work or play. A full basement with 9' ceilings with rough in plumbing is ready for your finishing touch, and the private, fully fenced yard-with a pergola, gas line for grilling, and plenty of space to unwind-sets the stage for perfect summer evenings. New roof (2021), New washer/dryer (2021), 1212 metal pergola (2021). Other updates include refinished floors throughout the main level, whole house re-painted and ceramic backsplash in the kitchen. Just minutes from I-90 & the Metra, this one is move-in ready!
