This traditional Des Plaines gem delivers all that and more with a sprawling, tree-shaded lawn welcoming you to an effortlessly stylish single-level residence designed for the modern lifestyle! Enter the 1,527 sq ft open interior where casual comfort meets smooth function. Your generous living room invites relaxation with its wide-plank flooring, recessed lighting, built-in shelves, picturesque bay window, and a wood-burning fireplace that anchors any gathering with welcoming warmth. Just beyond, a newly renovated kitchen offers culinary inspiration with its dual ovens, stainless steel appliances, an extra-wide sink, and an abundance of cabinetry that makes everyday cooking and entertaining a delight. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen, the adjacent dining alcove glows under a contemporary chandelier and opens to the patio through glass sliders-ready for al fresco celebrations or cocktails under the stars. Your primary suite feels like a private retreat with its vaulted ceilings, soft carpet underfoot, and sleek spa-inspired ensuite. The oversized walk-in shower, part of a full remodel complete with updated plumbing, is the perfect way to unwind. Move directly from your haven to the backyard and greet the morning dawn with coffee or stargaze before retiring at night. Two additional bedrooms share an upgraded half-bath with a rainfall showerhead, ideal for guests or flexible living arrangements. Outside, the brick-inlaid patio becomes a personal entertainment hub-whether you're grilling on weekends, lounging beneath the wooden gazebo, relaxing by the fire pit, or wandering under the trellis arbor surrounded by the expansive tree-lined yard. There's plenty of room to dream here: build a garden, set up recreational structures, or simply bask in the serenity. Enjoy peace of mind with features like a recently upgraded 200-amp electrical panel, newer siding and roofing, and a fully finished, attached 2-car garage with built-in cabinets and a lifetime epoxy-coated floor-resistant to cracks, stains, and daily wear. The laundry room adds another element of convenience with its deep sink. With a prime location that puts you near shopping at Oak Leaf Commons, O'Hare Int'l Airport, local parks, and the I-90, enjoy proximity to various aspects of the vibrant neighborhood. A short drive brings you closer to beautiful destinations like Busse Woods, Glencoe Beach, an array of golf courses, and enticing restaurants to complete this lifestyle package.
