Description
This home offers lots of space in an open concept design with hardwood floors throughout. As you enter the home you will immediately notice a floor plan that offers the best of both worlds. The formal living room and dining room are at the front of the home. The living room becomes a quiet sanctuary for a quiet conversation or a great book, away from the energy in the main gathering areas. As you go further into the home, you will find big windows pouring in natural light across the rear of the home. The kitchen features a large island with plenty of seating. Sliding patio doors leading to the patio and fenced back yard. 42" cherry cabinetry in the kitchen plus granite countertops, a center island, beverage refrigerator, walk-in pantry and plenty of counterspace. Imagine hosting a large gathering, appetizers and drinks, preparing a favorite meal, while everyone can be part of the same conversation. The family room is open to the second level featuring a brick fireplace. Next to the family room is a private home office overlooking the back yard. Entering the home from the 3-car garage, a convenient mud room offers a place to shed the outdoor gear before heading into the first-floor laundry, then the kitchen. The second level offers four bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The master suite will get high marks for the vaulted ceiling and two walk-in closets. The master bath features a whirlpool tub, luxury shower and separate vanities. The other three bedrooms share a full bathroom with a double bowl vanity and shower. The finished basement offers endless possibilities for hobbies, exercise, home office and recreation. The large rec room is perfect for watching a favorite movie. The built-in bar includes a refrigerator for your favorite beverages. A 5th bedroom or additional home office is found on this level with another full bathroom. Situated on a large third-acre lot, the property feels open and substantial. The large patio is perfect for entertaining outdoors. Picture yourself on the patio after a long week, minding the grill, drink in hand, listening to your favorite music. Located near many of the restaurants, popular retail stores, and amenities that the area has to offer. Nearby Spella Park spans 110 acres, including 14 acres of active park space and 96 acres of natural areas. Amenities include pickleball, playground, tennis, walking trails, basketball and a sledding hill. The home has been meticulously maintained and is ready to move in. A 3D tour of this home is available. Recent Improvements: 2025 Washer & Dryer | 2024 Water Softener, Windows, Beverage Refrigerator, Deck, Electric Vehicle Charger | 2023 Water Heater, Refrigerator.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI went to this school for only one year (2023-2024, my 8th grade year) and it was enough to make me hate it. Students are openly and proudly hateful towards students of minorities. I have been bullied and shamed several times for being black and little was done when I reported it. The school has the most equity reports in the district (words spoken from the PRINCIPAL) and yet nothing is done. They have to have an "empathy day" because the kids at the school are the most hateful, apathetic people in the whole state of Illinois. Along with that, they had to remind students of the most basic levels of respect through presentations. (FYI your child shouldn't just be learning respect at 13-14 years old). Students not only disrespect black kids, but autistic kids too, and the teachers don't even do anything to stop it. Students played a dog whistle in class just to irritate a girl on the spectrum and the teacher (who was in the room) did nothing to stop it. Not only do the students lack respect for their peers but to their teachers. Children would repeatedly report teachers for trivial reasons just to get them fired (in the year I went there it happened THREE times). Overall, I wouldn't send my kid here ESPECIALLY if they're a minority. You're better putting them in Dundee or Algonquin. They most likely have 10x less problems than this. Love, the student speaker for the class of '24.Other Review2mo ago - Lincoln Prairie Elementary School
