From the moment you step inside, you're welcomed by soaring two-story ceilings and sunlit living spaces that feel as open as they do inviting. NEW vinyl plank flowing on main level and stairs (2022).

Upstairs, the spacious primary suite boasts a large walk-in closet and an ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms, a second full bath, and a versatile loft (perfect as a home office, reading nook!) round out the upper level. Need more space? The sprawling finished basement delivers with a large rec room, play area, and extra storage. Step outside to your brick paver patio surrounded by mature trees, professionally landscaped for beauty and solitude-ideal for summer hangouts or morning coffee. Major upgrades give peace of mind: NEWER windows and slider (2022), NEWER roof (2013), NEW water heater (2024), NEW windows (2020), stainless appliances, furnace (2012), AC (2019), updated siding, and a garage with brand new epoxy flooring and built-in storage racks. All this, just a short stroll from Bright Meadows Park, close to schools, the Metra, shopping, dining, and more. With thoughtful updates, flexible living space, and an unbeatable location-this home truly has it all. Welcome home!
