Property Description

Some homes simply feel different. They're the ones where every improvement has been made with intention, every project has been thoughtfully completed, and every room tells the story of years of pride in ownership. This is one of those homes. Nestled in the highly sought-after Lyons Township High School District, this classic all-brick Georgian blends timeless architecture with the kind of updates today's buyers are searching for. While its character remains beautifully intact, nearly every major component has been thoughtfully refreshed, allowing you to enjoy all the charm without the long to-do list. From the moment you arrive, you'll notice the inviting curb appeal, enhanced by a charming portico that welcomes you home. Step inside to discover bright, sun-filled living spaces where refinished hardwood floors, updated windows, and thoughtful design choices create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The kitchen has been completely reimagined as the heart of the home, offering modern cabinetry, updated finishes, and newer appliances that make everything from weeknight dinners to holiday entertaining effortless. Just beyond, the backyard becomes an extension of your living space, featuring a beautiful brick patio, a newer covered back porch and balcony, and even a hot tub that's ready for relaxing under the stars. Downstairs, the finished basement is much more than additional square footage, it's a space designed for real life. A comprehensive renovation transformed it into a comfortable retreat complete with a full bathroom, updated laundry area, durable tile flooring, and major behind-the-scenes improvements including a drainage tile system, dual sump pumps with battery backup, and other infrastructure upgrades that provide lasting peace of mind. The care invested in this home extends far beyond cosmetics. Over the years, the owners have tackled nearly every major improvement, including brick tuckpointing, a new electrical panel, roof, furnace, air conditioner, water heater, windows, front door, and even beautiful new hardwood flooring. These aren't just updates, they're investments that allow the next owner to move in with confidence, knowing the heavy lifting has already been done. As an added value, several thoughtful features will remain with the home, including the Murphy bed in the second bedroom and shelving in the basement, custom dining room storage pieces, the bench by the back entrance, and, of course, the hot tub. And if you've always dreamed of having your own dance floor, you'll be happy to know the disco ball is negotiable, it can stay and keep the good times rolling. When you're ready to venture out, you'll love being just minutes from parks, restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, the Metra, and the world-famous Brookfield Zoo. It's a location that perfectly complements a home that's been so carefully loved and maintained. Homes like this don't come around often. Full of character, rich with updates, and ready for
