About this House

Beautiful mid century ranch home on half acre fenced lot overlooking a half mile of green space, maintained by the park district! So, so many updates! Complete kitchen remodel in 2023 with high end finishes featuring Waterstone kitchen faucet, Caesarstone man made quartz countertops, beautiful honed marble backsplash with brass inlay in a chevron pattern (a nod to the homes mid century roots) extending all the way to the ceiling, and all new Samsung Bespoke appliances which feature interchangeable glass panel fronts. The current owners love them for their use as a dry erase board, but the new owners can replace them with the stainless steel panels if they so prefer. The refrigerator also features a beverage center, complete with auto refilling water pitcher with built in infusing cartridge for holding fruit. Cucumber water anyone? The complete remodel of the master/ hall bath in 2025 features Zellige tile shower and beautiful floating vanity to maximize space. Other upgrades include: New furnace with Aprilaire humidifier and central air (2023), all new continuous flooring throughout the entire home (Van Gogh series LVT from Karndean flooring) with 20 mil wear layer and lifetime warranty (2023), roof (2019), above standard R39 insulation added to attic space (2023), recessed lighting installed in most rooms (2025), new garage door and motor (2023), garage walls insulated and slat wall installed for tool storage and features steel reinforced channels to support heavier tools (2023). The remodeled flex space connecting the kitchen to the garage (2025) features new flooring, insulation and drywall, while the original wood paneled ceiling was restored to its original beauty to preserve the homes mid century character. This versatile space is currently being used as mud room/drop zone, but could easily be a 2nd family room, home office, music room or creative studio! Just endless possibilities! The home also features original mid century doors and windows that the owners have chosen not to replace as their style is highly sought after and they are all still in excellent operating condition. Enjoy watching soccer games every Sunday from the bay window overlooking the fields across the street! No detail in this home has been overlooked! Come see this gem today!
