Built in 1898

Following a 3-story addition in 2008, this top-to-bottom remodel is a dream come true! A beautiful Prairie-influenced home on a corner lot, this 4-bedroom home is surrounded by stunning views of Thatcher Woods and has been carefully upgraded by the current owner. As you enter past the coat closet, you're greeted by an inviting living room with a wood burning fireplace (new liner in 2013). The generous dining room leads to the four-season sunroom (new foundation in 2014) and the HUGE chef's kitchen. Here you'll find an extra-large island, Caesar stone countertops, Prairie-style 42'' custom quarter-sawn oak cabinetry, and a custom stone backsplash. Impressive, high-end stainless-steel appliances include a Blue Star stove, counter-depth refrigerator and freezer, Bosch dishwasher (2022), an under-island microwave, and Sub-Zero wine fridge. The mudroom area of the kitchen has been thoughtfully placed near the back porch door, complete with custom-built bench and storage space. You will pass the built-in desk/office area, side door, and built-in pantry in the hallway to head upstairs where you'll find 4 generous bedrooms; two with windows on two walls, and all with great closet space, plus a common bath and linen closet. The light-filled primary suite has even more to offer with vaulted ceilings, walk-in closets, and an en-suite bathroom with glass shower. The basement is full of versatile space and includes a family room with 9-foot ceilings, a craft room, utility room, laundry room, and abundant closet and storage space. The exterior of this home is just as impressive - enjoy outdoor living on the back porch and patio, the hidden fenced-in backyard, or the large side yard facing the forest. Despite being so close to the forest preserve, this home is NOT in a flood zone and has no issues with water penetration; even so, you can rest assured that the new drain tile (2020), sump-pump with battery back-up, and an ejector pit for laundry will keep your home safe and dry. Dual HVAC systems (one in the attic, another in the basement) and owned solar panels provide comfortable, eco-friendly living. Other exterior upgrades include newer high-end windows (2008), paver driveway (2008), and newly painted/stained exterior trim (2023). The deep 11/2 car garage provides extra storage space with additional parking space in the beautiful driveway. The professional landscaping with many perennials complements the natural beauty of the surrounding forest. Very low taxes. Everything you could ask for is here in this beautiful, one-of-a-kind home - don't miss out on this incredible opportunity!
