About This Home

As of August 2025

Welcome to this impeccably designed townhome, where modern sophistication meets everyday comfort across three beautifully finished levels. From the moment you step inside, you'll be greeted by an open-concept layout that exudes warmth and style. The heart of the home is a stunning kitchen adorned with gleaming quartz countertops, a sprawling 9-foot island, and an abundance of natural light-creating the perfect space for both effortless entertaining and relaxed daily living. Oversized sliding glass doors lead to a private balcony, an ideal retreat for enjoying your morning coffee or winding down as the sun sets. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms await, including a serene primary suite complete with a generous walk-in closet and a spa-inspired en-suite bathroom featuring a dual-sink vanity, walk in shower and sleek modern finishes. The convenience of an upstairs laundry room enhances the home's everyday functionality. On the lower level, a versatile bonus room offers endless possibilities-whether used as a home office, fitness space, or cozy media lounge. Two closets, including a large walk-in, provide excellent storage options, while direct access to an oversized two-car garage ensures ample room for vehicles and additional belongings. Enjoy the ease of maintenance-free living, with professional landscaping and snow removal included. The vibrant Buckingham Place community offers additional amenities such as a dog park and playground, making it a welcoming environment for all. Ideally located just minutes from O'Hare Airport, within steps to the Cumberland Metra station and in close proximity to Downtown Des Plaines, Mount Prospect, and the bustling shops and restaurants of Randhurst Village. Everyday essentials like Costco and Mariano's are also just around the corner. This is an exceptional opportunity to own a newer-construction townhome in a prime, commuter-friendly location-offering luxury, convenience, and value all in one remarkable package.
