Description
A rare opportunity to own a single-family attached home in Elmhurst, offering comfortable and flexible living across 2 full floors and a basement, with beautiful hardwood throughout.
The home welcomes you with a front patch of land at the entrance, a lovely spot to plant flowers, herbs, or greenery that adds color and life right at the front door. Step inside to a coat closet foyer that opens into a bright and airy living room filled with natural light. Hardwood floors run throughout the entire home, bringing warmth and character to every level. A first-floor bedroom connects to a covered porch, offering a private outdoor space to enjoy morning and evening air. The kitchen is designed with its own door, giving you the freedom to cook.
A wooden staircase leads to the second floor, where two large, sun-filled bedrooms and a full bath await. Both rooms are generously sized and bright, offering real comfort and space to spread out.
From the kitchen, head down to the full basement, complete with a half bath and an open layout ready to become a home gym, private office, game room, or whatever your lifestyle calls for. A rear door leads directly to the backyard, keeping the flow between indoors and outdoors seamless.
Out back, there is a private garage and a second parking space that doubles easily as an outdoor lounge or garden area. A shared driveway runs along the rear with access from both sides of the property.
And then there is the bonus that makes this home genuinely one of a kind. Included with the purchase is an additional parcel of land at the rear, fully owned by the buyer. This is not a shared space or a common area. It is yours. In a borough where outdoor space is a luxury, this extra plot is an extraordinary find. Grow tomatoes, figs, and fruit trees. Plant lavender, roses, and wildflowers. Lay a stone path through raised beds and set out chairs among the blooms. Create a kitchen garden that supplies your table through the seasons. Put up a trellis, build a potting bench, or simply let the land breathe green around you. The possibilities are limited only by imagination.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is an amazing school and I have some of my own opinions and they are real bc I was a student there and this year was actually my last year at this school and I have two things that I didn’t like about this school which is probably only in 6th grade but it can happen in the other grades the school favorites The top class bc there is clubs at this school like safety patrol and the nutrition committee and there are also awards for it at the end of the school year for 6th grade and what I know from my teachers is that the safety patrol was only going to be given to the top class same with the nutrition committee and my teachers said they tried for both of them to be available to all 6th grade but could only get safety patrol to be for all 6th grade and my class also was mad bc we only got one time gym and the rest of the 6th grade got two times gym another thing is the lunch aids can get on your last nerve bc one time we got in trouble for literally dropping a lunch box and we had to stay in reassess and at first the lunch aid said that only the boys would stay in but than the girls had to stay in once we also got in trouble for smth that a different class did and sometimes the lunch aid that I had would not let us go to the bathroom overall the school is good but you can experience sexism and favoritism they have good try some can be really really mean some can be the best teachers everStudent Review1y ago
