01About this home

Don't let the exterior fool you-this home is anything but small! With ample living space above grade (9-foot-tall ceiling on the main level) and a 7.5-foot-tall basement, there's room for everything and everyone. The main level features three comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom, while upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms, including a lofted (11-foot tall ceiling) primary suite with a spacious walk-in closet, a private balcony that faces east-perfect for soaking in breathtaking sunrises or unwinding with evening drinks-a sleek walk-in shower for a spa-like experience with heated floors, and a separate toilet room for added convenience. The second floor also boasts a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo, plus a versatile space perfect for crafts, a playroom, or a cozy reading corner. The kitchen is a dream for any cook, featuring hickory cabinets topped with sleek quartz countertops, ample storage, and sliding glass doors that open to a spacious deck-perfect for al fresco dining or entertaining. Please note that while the kitchen is equipped with wonderful amenities, the stove is excluded from the sale. It opens into a sunlit dining room with windows, creating the perfect spot for morning coffee or intimate dinners. The living room offers more than enough space for relaxing in front of the TV, hosting game nights, or working on a puzzle. A welcoming foyer with a walk-in closet provides storage for coats, games, and more. But the real showstopper? The basement. It's a haven for entertaining and hobbies, with room for a pool table, a full-size craps table, and a cozy seating area for movie nights. Conveniently, there's a mudroom with easy access to the backyard-perfect for stashing shoes, coats, and gear. You'll also find a separate workshop area for DIY projects, a large laundry room, and plenty of enclosed storage spaces to keep everything organized. The spacious 2-car garage comes with a full-sized interior staircase leading to an easily accessible storage loft-no awkward pull-downs or wobbly ladders to deal with here! Purchased in 2009, this property underwent a remarkable transformation from an illegal 2-flat into a thoughtfully designed single-family home that truly feels like one. The renovation was comprehensive, featuring all-new plumbing, updated electrical systems, a modern boiler with new lines, and an air handler for central air conditioning. Every detail was carefully considered to ensure the home offers both comfort and efficiency for years to come, with no trace of its former layout-just the seamless flow and functionality you'd expect from a true single-family residence. This home combines functionality, charm, and endless possibilities-don't miss your chance to make it yours! Seller is an IL-licensed Realtor
