About this House

This home may just be the perfect blend of everything you need plus everything you want...with easy walkability to the shops and restaurants of Uptown Elmhurst and the Metra train; the BRAND NEW Field Elementary is a block away and you have super convenient access to highways! So many beautiful newer homes all around nestled in a social neighborhood with block parties and casual everyday get togethers. This home is simply gorgeous! It's the right combination of elegance and livability. The spacious open concept floorplan is anchored by gleaming hardwood floors that guide you thruout the space starting at the brand new front door. The'lounge' boasts a French door connecting the indoor space to the outdoor front porch, while the oversized dining room beckons you to sit and stay a while. But the showstopper is the great room! A truly inviting space that seamlessly combines a spacious gourmet kitchen with Wolf/SubZero appliances, inset cabinetry and quartz countertops with an incredibly memorable breakfast room and a generous family room with fireplace and space for all! Did I mention there is a butler's pantry, with beverage refrigerator, and a beautifully outfitted walk-in pantry connecting the dining room and kitchen, and the mudroom is huge with hooks and storage for everyone! Providing continuity, the hardwood floors run thruout most of the 2nd level as well. The grand primary suite boasts dual walk-in closets and a spa-like bath while the three other bedrooms all have direct access to a bath...and all baths on the 2nd level have heated floors! The 2nd floor laundry room almost invites you to stay while, with its on trend tile and generous layout. Most closets are outfitted with custom organizers, and plantation shutters grace most windows in the home. And, there is still the finished basement which brings the total livable square footage to 5,180sf! The considerable space has a walk up wet bar with refrigerator and room for everything invites you to imagine the possibilities.....a 5th bedroom/exercise room and full bath add to the basements flexibility. The dual zoned HVAC systems were replaced with high efficiency Lennox systems last year and there is a whole house Generac generator too. A large paver brick patio with seating wall overlooks the enviable, fully fenced 265' deep yard with playset and shed, giving you loads of space to create the outdoor environment of your dreams!

    "Respnsible, happy dog owners all around. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dog off leash in this neighborhood. I’ve never seen one dog go after another dog. I’ve never heard dogfighting. Most of the dogs in this neighborhood are small. I think there might be one beagle, a few mixed breeds about that size and some little tiny dogs. The owner of a dangerous dog, and his dog, would not be welcome here."
