About This Home

As of August 2025

Fantastic downtown Bartlett location-just a short walk to the Metra train, restaurants, and shops, with easy access to the highway. This spacious home features 4 bedrooms, plus a first-floor den, perfect for working from home. Hardwood floors run through most of 1st floor, and the eat-in kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a great open layout to the family room with cozy fireplace. Enjoy peace of mind with newer updates including approximately 4-year-old windows and new gutters installed 3 years ago. Step outside to a large, fenced-in yard with a patio-ideal for entertaining. A full, partially finished basement offers even more space and flexibility. Don't miss this opportunity! School Boundary change starting in 2026 Bartlett HS
