Beautiful crown molding graces the living room, dining room and kitchen on the 1st floor. This photo is the corner above the front door and the top of entry closet. Colors are chosen to coordinate with the carbonized (a light caramel color) vertical-grain bamboo flooring & birds-eye maple finish kitchen cabinets. Very now and break-through design choices!

Note that the 1st floor living room area could be expanded with an inexpensive addition to bump it out to the east!

This vibrant, totally rehabbed home on a deep 170 foot lot is so sunny & bright. Only the existing foundation, outer walls on the 1st floor & the first floor joists were retained. The old top half-story was removed & a new story plus another one-half was added. Nearly completed, this home has great utility with 4 levels comprising of 9 rooms, 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths & 2 half-baths, with an open floor plan. The upper two floors tower over the neighboring area offering views of trees, sky, sunsets & moon. Unobstructed views forever. Lovely living room with an open floor plan to kitchen & dining has crown molding. Bamboo flooring throughout, except for the basement level which is tiled. Also, the basement, dug out to achieve added height, is finished & has extra large windows so it is also bright and cheery. The large private deck, with optional outdoor kitchen, is accessed via these beautiful high-quality Marvin patio doors. A lovely professionally landscaped and fenced-in yard is graced by a mature Catalpa tree whose large delicate white flowers bloom in June. Also, a 3-car detached garage is included. The location is terrific, just across the street from Washington Elementary School, a playground, indoor ice rinks, and a series of tennis courts. Walk to the Main Street business district and trains. Easy commute to both downtowns & to O'Hare Airport. 

You won't lack for countertop or cabinet space in this contemporary kitchen. The kitchen is a cook's dream: plenty of cabinets, countertops abound, and the working space is large enough that for parties when people cluster in the kitchen, or more than one cook is called upon - no one will feel cramped. Drawer and door handles are polished chrome, the drawers are self-closing. Countertop is a honed Starwood Quartzite.

 

This is the latest in floorplan concepts; known as a connected kitchen, living room, kitchen, dining room, and doors to the patio are open to each other. There is nothing like this for entertaining, sharing great moments with friends and family.

All bedrooms and closets throughout the home are generously sized. There are a total of three full baths on the 2nd and 3rd floors. On  both the 1st floor and the basement levels, large powder rooms are provided, like the one on the 1st floor below:

 Again, I can't stress enough how beautiful the views are from this house on all sides. The buyer of this house will absolutely love the versatile living space, privacy and the quality of the construction.

This 3rd floor family room or can be a master bedroom just has the most amazing views, interesting architectural lines, handsome fireplace & a pleasant feel.

We will be open most Sundays from 1:00 until at least 3 pm. Please feel welcome to browse and compare our price and value to other homes.
