About This Home

As of August 2019

Country-retreat split-level ranch in quiet Montague Forest Subdivision. Brick and cedar-sided, with 5 bedrooms, and many "extra rooms".

The mature hickory/oak wooded lot backs up to forest preserve and hiking trails. Anderson and Pella windows with internal blinds throughout. Skylights and windows flood the main level with natural light. Wonderful cedar three-season room. Storage spaces everywhere. Furnace and AC only 2 yrs old, with 3 separate zones for efficiency. Outdoor spaces abound with paver patio, Trex deck, balcony and three season room, all looking out at the forest preserve. Small waterfall/pond greets visitors at front door. All furnishings, except piano are available to purchase, (pool table included in sale). Furnishings include special Howard Miller tables and chairs. Burlington Schools
