About this House

The sprawling ranch you've been dreaming of has arrived! Enjoy 1,700 SQF of living on the main level. A home that is stunning both inside and out, this tastefully and timelessly renovated home sits on an expansive 10,000+ square-foot lot and checks every box on your wish list. As the sun sets, you'll fall in love with the exterior lighting that beautifully showcases the home's curb appeal well into the evening. Step inside and immediately love the gorgeous blonde-toned red oak hardwood floors that flow throughout the main living spaces. The beautifully renovated kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring timeless two-tone cabinetry with rich mocha lower cabinets, crisp white upper cabinets, stunning white quartz countertops, a light and airy subway tile backsplash, matte black hardware and fixtures, and stainless steel appliances. This is the kitchen you see on Pinterest & Instagram. Designed with entertaining in mind, the open-concept floor plan seamlessly connects the kitchen to the formal dining room, spacious breakfast area, and breakfast bar. Whether you're hosting holiday dinners, enjoying a casual weekday meal, gathering with friends to watch the big game, or entertaining before heading outside, this layout was designed for making memories. The inviting living room offers a beautiful focal-point fireplace finished in a sophisticated matte charcoal surround. Recessed lighting illuminates the main living areas when desired, while large windows flood the home with an abundance of natural light throughout the day. Retreat to the spacious primary suite featuring a relaxing soaking tub, elegant gray glass subway tile, and a generously sized vanity, creating a spa-inspired space to unwind. Three additional generously sized bedrooms provide incredible flexibility for every stage of life, whether you need bedrooms, a home office, nursery, podcast studio, craft room, fitness space, or guest accommodations. The unfinished basement is ready for your vision and offers endless possibilities. Featuring painted floors, stylish sprayed charcoal ceilings with recessed lighting, and a spacious laundry room, this level is ideal for a future recreation room, home gym, playroom, media room, or man cave. The attached two-car garage offers exceptional storage for vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, Costco runs, lawn equipment, and all of life's extras. Step outside and discover what truly sets this home apart. The backyard offers your own private retreat, as it's fenced in. Whether you envision a lush garden, space for Rover to run, a swimming pool, playground, outdoor entertaining area, or all of the above, there's room to make it happen. A dedicated fire pit area creates the perfect setting for summer evenings, fall campfires, s'mores, and relaxing under the stars. Additional features include a Generac generator, providing added peace of mind year-round. The location is equally impressive. Commuters will appreciate being just 1.3 miles from the UP-NW Metra station, approximately 0.1 mile from Pace Route 230 (South Des Plaines), and approximately 0.6 mile from Pace Route 208 (Golf Road). Enjoy nearby recreation at Einstein Park, High Ridge Knolls Park, and Tomahawk Park. Best of all, you'll enjoy the convenience of being just minutes from both vibrant Downtown Des Plaines and Downtown Mount Prospect, offering dining, shopping, entertainment, and community events.
