From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the lush, professionally landscaped yard, with mature greenery and a walkway lined with vibrant perennials that set the tone for what's inside. A double-door entry welcomes you into a slate-floored foyer where thoughtful design and timeless style unfold throughout. Every room reflects a designer's vision-from the expansive living room with front garden views and a cozy fireplace, to the "secret" wet bar cleverly tucked into a closet. The formal dining room, with French doors that open to the backyard, offers an elegant setting for entertaining. The custom kitchen blends charm and function with cream-colored cabinetry, granite countertops, abundant storage, and a brick accent wall that nods to mid-century modern style. A sunny breakfast nook provides beautiful backyard views and access to the deck-perfect for morning coffee. Don't miss the hidden pantry tucked seamlessly into this space. Down the hall, each bedroom has its own character: Bedroom 2 overlooks the front garden and features plush carpeting. Bedroom 3 has hardwood floors, dual garden views, built-in shelving, and a double closet. The hall bath is a creative standout with custom art-deco inspired design. The primary suite feels like a private retreat, with custom wallpaper, tranquil backyard views, and a beautifully designed ensuite with a walk-in shower. Bedroom 4 boasts hardwood floors, built-in bookshelves, and more serene views of the backyard. The finished walk-out basement adds incredible versatility-ideal for guests, entertaining, or multi-generational living. It includes: A comfortable seating area and full dining space with backyard views. A cozy family room with wood-burning fireplace and patio access. A second kitchen-perfect for hosting or extended stays. Two bonus ooms currently used as guest spaces (flexible for office/playroom). A full bath. A dedicated exercise room. A large storage area with wine racks. The backyard is a true sanctuary for nature lovers and garden enthusiasts alike. Surrounded by mature trees for added privacy, it features multiple outdoor living areas: a screened-in deck ideal for quiet mornings, a stone patio for evening gatherings, and garden beds bursting with perennials. With generous square footage, serene surroundings, and inspired design throughout, this home offers a rare blend of space, style, and location. Conveniently close to schools, shopping, NIU, medical facilities, recreational areas, and major highways. A one-of-a-kind home for those who appreciate privacy, beauty, and timeless design.
