Description

This remarkable two-story brick home is meticulously maintained and located on tree-lined street in the desirable Schorsch Village, just minutes away from expansive 18-acre Shabbona Park. Set on a nearly 35-foot lot, this spacious and thoughtfully designed residence features hardwood flooring, neutral-colored walls, two fireplaces, updated light fixtures throughout, and elegant wide archways that define spaces within an open floor plan, offering flexibility and comfortable areas for daily living or easy entertaining. The large living room and formal dining room are complemented by cove moldings and fireplace with custom wood and marble surround. The kitchen is well-equipped with ample cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. It also has space for a table and large windows that let in natural light while providing a view of the fantastic back yard, complete with a new privacy fence and a large patio, making it an ideal setting for dining or entertaining. Conveniently situated at the rear of the home, the den provides and access to a new porch leading to the backyard, while stylish powder room is situated by the side entrance. The welcoming entry foyer features a coat closet and a wooden staircase leading to the upper level, which provides three spacious bedrooms, one of which includes a walk-in closet and others wall-to-wall closets, all featuring ceiling fans with light fixtures. The updated bathroom showcases ceramic tile and additional cabinetry for storage, along with a large linen closet. The finished lower level offers extra living and recreational space, highlighted by another fireplace and a versatile room currently used as a bedroom, or could easily serve as an office, a laundry room with a new washer and dryer, and multiple walk-in closets. Furthermore, a crawl space beneath the den provides additional storage options. The garage, only a few years old, includes a party door that enhances indoor-outdoor entertaining. Other updates in the last several years include: HVAC, vinyl windows, attic insulation, vinyl privacy fence, concrete patio, sidewalk and landscaping in the back yard, and a flood control system. The roof and siding on the back room are approximately 15 years old. This is a fantastic place to call home, conveniently located near grocery stores, a shopping mall, various restaurants, coffee shops, public transportation and this fabulous park with an indoor swimming pool, fitness center, basketball and football/soccer fields, pickleball and tennis courts, a playground, walking trails, and variety of programs for preschoolers and toddlers. Great home, designed to last for generations. Move-in condition. A must see!
