About This Home

As of December 2024

Check out this stunning 1927 4-bedroom, 2-bath bungalow that has captured the hearts of many with its gracious charm! This home is truly inviting, warm, and classic-perfectly blending comfort with character. The original millwork shines beautifully, showcasing the care and love that has gone into maintaining its timeless elegance. You'll adore the original hardwood floors and main floor bathroom, while the rest of the home has been thoughtfully updated with modern essentials. Imagine whipping up culinary masterpieces in the brand new chef's kitchen (2021) or enjoying a refreshing bath in the updated upstairs bathroom (2019). Step outside to your fabulous new patio/deck (2018) and soak in the amazing outdoor space! The main floor features one bedroom currently used as an office, making it a great spot for guests, especially with the convenience of another full bathroom on this level. Need extra space? The fully finished basement is perfect for your creative endeavors, plus there's an incredible walk-in attic upstairs for all your storage needs! Don't forget the detached 2-car garage and the beautifully landscaped yard filled with vibrant perennials and majestic trees. You'll love the quiet of Lawndale, a charming little street with minimal traffic-ideal for kids to play safely. Plus, it's just blocks from town or the highway, with easy access to O'Hare airport in 15 minutes and downtown Chicago in 25-30 minutes. This home is move-in ready, showing off a freshly painted exterior (2024), a roof from 2013, and a brand new Space Pac air conditioning system (2021). The mechanicals have been serviced yearly-talk about peace of mind! Enjoy a prime in-town location, only a 12-minute walk to downtown Elmhurst. This gem is agent owned, so don't wait! Get off the computer and come experience the beauty for yourself!
