About This Home
As of December 2025Discover the elegance and craftsmanship of 311 Root Street. This custom-built gem is by the Country Club and located merely 3-4 blocks to the Metra and downtown Park Ridge. The home was constructed by the original owners in 2006, as a traditional Colonial home that exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for discerning buyers seeking quality and comfort. As you enter, beautiful hardwood floors grace the entire first floor with elaborate millwork and moulding throughout, adding an element of timeless style. The spacious master bedroom and convenient laundry room are situated on the main level for ease of living. The home's exquisite woodwork is a testament to its custom build, featuring wainscoting, cove molding, and three wood arches that elegantly frame the room entrances. Gather in the family room, where high ceilings, two skylights, and a cozy fireplace creates a welcoming ambiance. The fireplace, equipped with a gas starter and external air intake, for wood log burning, offers both convenience and traditional charm. Ascend the elegant staircase to find three additional bedrooms on the second floor, accompanied by a generous bath featuring dual sinks, ideal for family or guests. Tailored for comfort, the home boasts separate HVAC systems for each floor, ensuring optimal climate control year-round. All windows are premium Pella casement style with "muntin" bars, allowing for easy cleaning from inside the home. The robust 11-inch thick walls, including a brick exterior, provide superior sound insulation, offering peace and quiet from the outside world. Indulge in relaxation with a 6-foot Jacuzzi tub, while the 18kVA Kohler gas generator ensures uninterrupted power supply for the home as it features 400 amp service. The private, secluded backyard is a true retreat, featuring a pergola and garden furniture for outdoor enjoyment. Although the basement is currently unfinished, it presents an opportunity for customization with a plumbing rough-in ready for a bathroom installation. Currently the basement hosts a working wood shop, complete with its own 60 amp sub-panel, an extra wide steel entry door from the outside for entry and has an impressive ceiling height of up to 10 feet that offers ample space for creative development. Enjoy the perfect blend of traditional design and modern amenities in this warm, colonial-inspired sanctuary. Welcome Home!
