From the moment you arrive, you'll be impressed by the incredible curb appeal featuring neutral siding accented by black shutters and light fixtures, a white stable-style garage door, a front yard flagpole, and a new cedar fence framing both sides of the property. Step inside to find a bright, open floorplan filled with natural light, soft neutral tones, and crisp white trim. The inviting living room flows seamlessly into the kitchen and dining area - perfect for everyday living or entertaining. The kitchen boasts white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a versatile breakfast or coffee bar area. Upstairs, you'll find nicely sized bedrooms and a full bath with a ceramic-tiled shower surround. The finished lower level offers an additional family room with lookout windows, gorgeous wood laminate flooring, a vent-less gas fireplace, and a bar area with a beverage fridge - the ideal setup for game day or gatherings. The lower level also features a stylish laundry room with a barn-style sliding door and direct access to the garage. The garage itself has been completely updated with new drywall, epoxy-coated floors and stairs, overhead storage racks, and a custom staircase railing designed to mirror the Japanese-style koi-pond bridge, blending unique character with modern design. Step out back to your own private outdoor oasis - an entertainment-sized deck leads to the enclosed patio with screens and a custom clear liner system, allowing you to enjoy the space even in cooler weather. With electric service and an outdoor TV setup, this is truly an all-season retreat. Enjoy the tranquil setting of the professionally designed koi pond with a charming bridge, plus a new 10x11 storage shed with a barn-style sliding door, new raised planters, and a 48" cedar fence gate providing easy backyard access. Adding both beauty and functionality, the EverLights smart lighting system is built directly into the gutters - app-controlled, color-customizable lighting for holidays and events with no setup or removal required - enhancing the ambiance of your outdoor spaces year-round. A concrete driveway completes the picture. All of this in a prime location - just a short walk to Algonquin Road Elementary, Downtown Fox River Grove & the Metra Station, and Lions Park on the Fox River, offering access to the river, ball fields, basketball and sand volleyball courts, fishing, and a community marina for residents. Convenient to Route 14 and served by the sought-after Cary-Grove High School. This home truly has it all - style, comfort, updates, and an unbeatable location.
