About This Home

As of August 2025

Perfectly situated on the corner of Norfolk and the quieter, tree-lined Rose Avenue, this home offers the ultimate in convenience-just a short walk to town, the train, multiple schools, parks, and all that downtown Clarendon Hills has to offer. This is no ordinary split-level. Built in 1959 and lovingly maintained by its original owners, the home offers over 2,700 square feet above grade, plus a professionally waterproofed sub-basement by Perma-Seal. Unique features you won't typically find in similar homes include a light-filled sunroom, two fireplaces, a main-level powder room, and wide, gently sloping staircases between levels. The home has exceptional bones and thoughtful updates throughout. The kitchen was renovated in 2017 with high-end cabinetry, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Dacor wall ovens, and a gas cooktop. The second-floor bathroom was refreshed in 2024 with a new soaking tub, updated shower, vanity top, and dual sinks. Additional upgrades include energy-efficient double-pane windows and a 10-year-old roof equipped with solar panels for reduced utility costs.
