Units n/a

Mid-century vibe meets modern comfort in Sherwood Oaks! Perched on a hill beneath a canopy of mature trees, this beautiful ranch home offers timeless character and an inviting front porch. Step inside to a welcoming foyer with an exposed brick accent wall and open staircase to the finished lower level. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a spacious breakfast room and cozy family room with beamed ceilings, skylights, and a stunning full-wall brick fireplace. The show-stopping great room is filled with natural light and features custom built-ins and walls of windows. A serene bedroom wing includes three generously sized bedrooms and two full baths. The primary suite has its own private bath, while the hall bath boasts a soaking tub and separate shower. Downstairs, you'll find a second family room with a fireplace and a large utility/workshop area with built-in workbench. The oversized 2.5+ car garage provides exceptional storage. Sitting on nearly 3/4 of an acre, enjoy the peaceful backyard from your patio. Fantastic location-minutes to downtown Elgin, Metra, I-90, 15 minutes to Woodfield Mall, 25 to O'Hare, and just an hour to downtown Chicago.
