Description
Situated on a beautifully landscaped nearly half-acre lot, this meticulously maintained brick-front home with a side-load 21/2-car garage offers the perfect balance of inviting interior living spaces and exceptional outdoor living. Proudly featured in the 2022 Garden Walk, the thoughtfully designed landscape, mature trees, and inviting outdoor living spaces create a setting that's every bit as beautiful as the home itself. Just moments from Kishwaukee Country Club, this exceptional property is one you'll be proud to call home. Step inside to a dramatic two-story foyer where gleaming hardwood floors welcome you home. A spacious formal dining room, highlighted by a beautiful bay window, sits to one side, while an expansive living room filled with natural light offers the perfect place to gather, relax, or entertain. Rich hardwood flooring, oversized windows, solid wood doors, and elegant French doors add warmth and architectural character throughout the main level. Designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind, the heart of the home is the expansive kitchen and family room. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, a center island, peninsula seating, a pantry cabinet, and a sunny breakfast area with a patio door leading to the expansive deck. Just beyond, the inviting family room is anchored by a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, creating the perfect backdrop for everything from holiday celebrations to quiet evenings at home. French doors lead to a versatile main-floor flex room complete with its own closet-ideal as a home office, library, playroom, guest room, or potential fourth bedroom. The oversized first-floor laundry and mudroom offers built-in cubbies, a utility sink, exceptional storage, and an additional oversized closet just off the garage entry, making everyday organization effortless. A beautifully remodeled powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat featuring a tray ceiling, oversized walk-in closet, and beautifully updated ensuite bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, separate glass-enclosed shower, and abundant storage. Two additional well-proportioned bedrooms share a full hall bath, while generous closet space throughout the home ensures there's room for everything. The full basement offers a partially finished recreation area while leaving ample unfinished space for storage, hobbies, a home gym, a workshop, or future expansion. Just beyond the patio door, the outdoor living spaces become a natural extension of the home. The expansive deck, multiple gathering areas, mature trees, beautifully established landscaping, and raised garden beds create a private backyard retreat equally suited for entertaining guests or enjoying a peaceful evening at home. The outdoor space reflects the same thoughtful care and attention to detail found throughout the home. Beyond its beautiful living spaces, this home offers peace of mind with numerous significant updates, including a complete roof tear-off with upgraded 50-year shingles (2014), many EuroTech replacement windows (2022), furnace (2018), air conditioner (2022), upgraded 75-gallon water heater (2021), owned water softener (2024), sump pump with battery backup, oven (2021), and microwave (2022). Ideally located just moments from Kishwaukee Country Club in one of DeKalb's most established neighborhoods, this exceptional home offers the perfect combination of spacious living, thoughtful updates, and beautifully designed outdoor spaces-all in a setting you'll be proud to call home.
