About This Home

As of December 2024

Elmhurst's best split-level home just hit the market and is just steps away from downtown! Stunning and fully updated 4 bedroom, 2.1 home with an amazing layout and gets a flood of natural light. Right when you walk into the house you are welcomed by a bright foyer that delivers an immediate sense of warmth. The home is filled with designer details and recent updates, including full exterior paint in 2021, beautifully landscaped front and back yards (2022), and a new back door (2022). Inside, hardwood floors flow throughout, complementing the chic texture painted interiors. The eat-in kitchen, remodeled in 2022, features a vaulted ceiling, bay window, and brand-new appliances. The open layout with a huge island makes this home ideal for entertaining. Three elegant bathrooms include premier fixtures, with the primary bath showcasing a skylight and jetted tub. A finished sub-basement provides flexibility, offering a 4th bedroom/office, rec room, or gym, plus a remodeled bathroom (2024). Additional highlights include a newer furnace and A/C (2020), updated window blinds (2021-2022), and a cozy electric fireplace (2018). Located on a deep, professionally landscaped lot with a fenced yard, this home is just a short walk to town, the train, and Edison-Sandburg schools. This is a must-see-welcome home!
