TOP-RATED DISTRICT 96 AND STEVENSON HIGH SCHOOL! This inviting two-story home in Strathmore Grove offers the kind of space and flow that just feels right the moment you walk inside. It's loaded with updates to give you peace of mind, including brand new carpet, refinished hardwood floors (2025), new A/C (2024), new Maytag dryer (2023), new Whirlpool washer (2022), new water heater (2021), new roof (2020), new sump pump (2020), and a freshly painted interior. The welcoming foyer sets the tone, opening to a bright and airy living room with beautiful hardwood flooring that flow throughout most of the main level and a custom bookcase-perfect for displaying your favorite reads, treasured photos, or curated decor. The adjoining dining room is filled with natural light and transitions seamlessly outdoors through sliding glass doors to the patio and backyard-an ideal setting for summer dinners or a quiet morning coffee. Back inside, the kitchen combines charm and functionality with an abundance of 42" cabinets, quality stainless steel appliances, and pocket doors that provide added privacy from the dining room-ideal for keeping kitchen prep out of sight during your next dinner party. Just around the corner, a wet bar with a pass-through window makes entertaining a breeze, opening to the expansive family room, where a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace becomes the focal point of the space. Whether it's game night, movie night, or just a cozy evening in, this room is ready to be your favorite gathering spot. Completing the main level is a half bath. When it's time to unwind, head upstairs to the spacious primary suite, complete with a private en suite bath. Two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath offer ample space for family, guests, or even a home office and ensure everyone has a place to call their own. The finished basement gives you even more flexibility with a huge rec room that could be used as a media room, a home gym, or a hangout space-setup to suit your needs. The unfinished area includes a large laundry space and loads of storage-or use it as a blank canvas for future expansion. Head outdoors to a partially fenced yard that offers both privacy and charm-perfect for everything from quiet mornings to lively gatherings. Keep your outdoor gear neatly tucked away in the convenient storage shed, while the 2-car garage offers plenty of space for vehicles, tools, and all your favorite toys-keeping everything organized and within easy reach. Located just minutes from Martha Weiss Park, shopping, dining, and Metra access. Schedule your showing today!
