About This Home
As of July 2025Welcome to this beautifully updated and meticulously maintained ranch home in the Kensington Pointe Subdivision! This spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath gem offers comfortable one-level living with numerous upgrades that make it move-in ready. Step inside from the newly poured concrete walkway, front stoop, and inviting front porch (2019) through a modern entry door and into the expansive family room, featuring refinished hardwood floors and abundant natural light. Currently used as a combined family and dining area, this space is perfect for both entertaining and relaxing. A wall of windows along the back frames serene views of the lush backyard. The updated eat-in kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting wooden cabinetry, quartz countertops, stylish backsplash, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and stainless steel appliances - updated within the last four years. The large walk-in pantry/mudroom provides ample storage and even offers potential to be converted into a convenient first-floor laundry room. The eating area has access to the back deck - great when hosting get-togethers. All three bedrooms are generously sized with peaceful views of the front or backyards. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a walk-in closet and a spacious ensuite bath featuring a soaking tub and separate walk-in shower. Step outside onto the lovely deck and enjoy tranquil western views - ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Mature trees provide privacy, while the premium lot backs up to prairie and parkland, with neighboring greenspace owned by the park district enhancing the natural setting. The unfinished basement has been painted and has built-in shelving for storage. It also has rough-in plumbing for a future bathroom and an egress window - many possibilities exist for extra living space. Major updates include: HVAC, refinished hardwood floors, carpeting, blinds, and window treatments (2019); kitchen renovation, tub refinishing, new washer/dryer, and basement paint (2020); and roof, gutter guards, and exterior siding painted (2024). Ideally located near bike paths, parks, playgrounds, schools, shopping, NIU, and I-88 access, this home offers the best of convenience and comfort. If you're looking for quality one-story living with nothing left to do, this beauty is the one!
